    Must listen!
    I absolutely love listening to this after watching Better Call Saul episodes! I love the breakdown they do and they usually mention things I missed. Super entertaining and highly recommend!!

    Enjoyable
    I like to listen to podcasts about whatever show I’m obsessed with at the moment and this one is a fun BCS companion. The hosts are definitely gringos tho ... painful Spanish pronunciation. (Lalo is a nickname for Eduardo and it’s *really* not that hard to say.)

    Like talking with friends
    They’ve got a great banter between all of them, and aren’t shy to be honest on their thoughts

    Fun discussion podcast
    I enjoy these guys. They know enough about this show plus breaking bad for the recaps to add value to my watching of the show. But it doesn’t totally nerd out and go down rabbit holes that lead nowhere. The frequent simpson quotes add a level of enjoyment. If you’re looking for a podcast that breaks down minute details and nitpicks, this is not it. If you want to listen in to friends who are big fans discuss the show and speculate it’s a great way to kill time these days.

    Stone Cold
    Goes without saying, one if the all time great podcasts. S05 locks: 1. Nacho. E06+. He’s alone in a car. He makes a decision. [Background: Gus made moves against the cartel. Lalo knows about Nacho and Gus. A crew of guys at Nacho’s father’s shop goes to take him in at some point. (/His dad resists or gets caught in a crossfire and dies.) So Dad is protected, or he’s already dead, and Nacho decides to leave for good or do what his dad said and turn himself in. +1 all categories if Don Juan Bolsa is in the episode or one of the two before it or if Lalo and Nacho are friends even after Lalo finds out about him and Gus 2. Saul signs up to defend the call center protestor. Kim told him to do it. Internally, she tells Mesa Verde and Schweikart and Cokely that it’s too much trouble; they should give in/compromise and try for a PR victory. They tell her she has to convince Saul to stop. She says she can’t. I get +1s if they argue it out in court or Kim says, “I barely know him.” in any context 3. Lalo is gardening or touches a plant. 4. Saul reconnects Kim with an estranged family member, e.g. her older sister. 5. Rebecca and Kim cross paths at an evening function, late morning brunch, and have a mostly neutral conversation until one or the other slips and takes a pretty contemptuous tone about the other person, or Howard, or Jimmy. Sound fades out and camera pulls back wide on a line of people at Saul’s office, Francesca talking to people and telling them to take a number (like they’re at the DMV/MVD. Saul ends the season in the middle of a cold night or summer night, e.g. on Kim’s balcony or in his Saul Goodman office, alone, or with just Huell/Francesca. Kim and Francesca exchanged a few words or Francesca asked how she was and Saul said , “She’s good.”

    What Happens in Coushatta—
    Rotating crew of warm, fun folks explore the characters we love, who are as real as anyone we know.

    A funny and thoughtful dissection of BCS that I never miss.
    Love the podcast. You all are hilarious and bring up such awesome analyses of the episodes that make me appreciate the episode even more and pretty much double up on feeding my weird Vince Gilligan addiction. Thanks for making this!

    Got me through the Memorial Day gap week
    The timing could not have been better. I discovered this podcast the weekend before AMC gave "Better Call Saul" a week off for Memorial Day; binge-listening to its Season 3 coverage helped me get through the gap. Love the in-depth discussion of each character's storyline and the speculation about what might be next. Admittedly, the hosts' enthusiasm for eating during the podcast can hamper their discussion at times, but they don't do this too often, and they don't eat for the duration of the podcast, so it's not that big an issue. Having tried two other BCS podcasts, I can honestly say this is my favorite. The official AMC podcast is fun but focuses more on the technical/production side, while I prefer discussion of the narrative. The other BCS podcast I tried somehow gets actual cast members to call in, but is otherwise not worth the time. The Breaking Goodman team is the only one that satisfies my craving for insightful BCS analysis of the stories and characters, and I highly recommend it to all fans of "Better Call Saul." (To show my appreciation, I'd like to provide the hosts with some useful background information they can consult as needed. Kevin Wachtell and Paige Novick are the Mesa Verde twosome. PPD stands for pre-prosecution diversion. Stacey really is the first name of Mike's daughter in law. The UNM film students are listed as Camera Guy, Sound Guy, and Makeup Girl. Hope this helps!)

    Great series companion
    A great addtion to watching the show. This is part of my weekly routine, I follow up each airing of Better Call Saul with the latest episode of Breaking Goodman.

    Great crew
    As in their other podcasts(Stark Raven Mad, Bloody Sunday) this group enjoys the show for what it is and has fun reviewing the episodes. If I ever visit Philly I'll check out one of their shows. Keep up the great work.

    Uploaded to Leftovers
    You uploaded the episode 5 podcast of this show to your reheated Leftovers podcast instead. You got my hopes up for more Leftovers coverage and then I found out you had made a mistake and uploaded one of your other podcasts in its place. My heart is broken now. But I thought you should know as it hasn't been moved back to its home at this podcast. Sincerely- Chris (you're getting a five star review even though I don't watch BCS)

    Enough with the Chips!
    Who in their right mind thought eating potato chips throughout a broadcast was a good idea. Incredibly annoying. It ruined what is otherwise a good show.

    Sorry, but not very good
    There are lots of superior Better Call Saul podcasts out there and I suggest you listen to those first. Only listen to this one if you have a lot of time on your hands after you've finished the others. This one has the lowest sound quality. They sound very far away from their microphone and as a result it's just not pleasing to the ear, especially when papers shuffle around. They also talk over each other a lot because they don't seem to have a good roadmap or script for presenting their recap and other material they discuss. The group also laughs a lot at things that aren't funny. A few of them talk about the comedy troops they are in and various other comedy endeavors so they must percieve themselves as funny people. I do give them credit, however, for their commitment to churning out a podcast each week during the shows season. It certainly takes dedication to keep that up.

    Color Commentary
    Ne’er miss an ep!
  • Philly Bauer
    Great insight
    Great podcast into the show. Love exploring the Easter eggs, color schemes and what they mean in the over all story telling. Keep up the great work
  • RazmatazSkazoo
    For the title alone...
    If this podcast didn't already deserve 5 stars, the title Tuco Tuesdays would clinch it. Great opening music, likable hosts with solid insights. In terms of recap shows, this one is worthy of its own recap.

    Love the Group dynamics
    Hey All! So sad that I JUST found you guys! I love the group dynamics that you all have with each other. I love that you each give and take, and give your opinions and nobody jumps on each other or appears to have any jealousy. Just good thoughts and ideas. Keep up the great work AND YES!! Please do a re-watch of BCS and then do another show. Soon please? Perhaps break it up in 2 or 3 shows each???Whatever makes sense. Anyway..just love ALL the input from everyone..so great. Thanks!
