Episode Details

This week on pplpod, we break down the pivotal Breaking Bad Season 2 episode, "Better Call Saul." We discuss the iconic introduction of Bob Odenkirk as the shady "criminal" lawyer Saul Goodman, a character who would eventually lead his own spinoff series.

Join us as we recap Badger’s arrest in a police sting and Walter White and Jesse Pinkman’s desperate attempts to secure legal counsel, leading to a botched kidnapping in the desert. We also analyze the crucial moment where Saul references "Lalo" and "Ignacio" — throwaway lines that later formed the basis for Lalo Salamanca and Nacho Varga in the prequel. Plus, we cover Hank Schrader’s struggle with panic attacks and Jesse’s deepening relationship with Jane Margolis.
