Better Call Saul continued an ongoing joke surrounding Breaking Bad's infamous scene where Walter White (Bryan Cranston) throws an unsliced pizza onto the roof of his house. The iconic pizza toss by Bryan Cranston was delivered in one take and inspired many copycats to make a nuisance of themselves at the real-life location of the White's home. Although the scene has gone down in infamy as a great visual gag, the way that Vince Gilligan and his team followed it up throughout both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is a testament to the attention to detail within their shared fictional universe.

Asked why Walter White's pizza was unsliced, Vince Gilligan explained in a Reddit Ama that the reasons were purely down to logistics. If Walter's pizza was sliced, then the visual gag wouldn't have worked, because the slices would have ended up all over his driveway. Knowing how pedantic some viewers can be,...

Better Call Saul had a tough act to follow considering how highly-rated the final season of Breaking Bad was by both critics and viewers alike. It was astonishing then that the prequel show began to be considered potentially superior to its predecessor but, when going back over the best episodes of Better Call Saul, it's easy to see why the prequel show came to rival the original in terms of quality, and even surpass it in some areas. Better Call Saul began with all the hard-earned skills developed over Breaking Bad's run and squandered none of them.

Though the series already had a host of iconic characters, like Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) himself and Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), to work with from the word go, every new face they introduced felt right at home and many of them, like Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) and Chuck McGill (Michael McKean...

Aaron Paul reunited with his Breaking Bad co-stars along with the current cast of Better Call Saul to read El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie trailer comments. The video takes place inside the iconic Rv meth lab from the hit show. Paul and his former co-stars appeared at the world premiere of the Netflix movie earlier this week and so far, everybody is keeping their mouths shut when it comes to details. However, Paul was back saying "bitch" quite a few times during the entertaining featurette.

In addition to Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad stars Betsy Brandt, Dean Norris, Rhea Seehorn, Charles Baker, Jesse Plemons, Steven Michael Quezada, Rj Mitte, and Lavell Crawford were all on hand to read social media reactions to the El Camino trailer. While a lot of the cast returned to attend the premiere, it's still not clear who will be in the movie with Paul's Jesse Pinkman,...

“Better Call Saul” Season 4 was more focused than ever on answering the question at the show’s core: By the time “Breaking Bad” Season 2 begins, how did attorney Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) become criminal lawyer Saul Goodman? The season ably answered that inquiry, but required a pretty significant body count.

It has always made sense for “Better Call Saul” to be a less-violent series than its sister show, at least in the early seasons, as that’s when many of these characters are still on the verge of becoming part of the brutal Albuquerque drug scene that consumed Walter White and his many associates. However, that also meant escalation was always a part of the show’s future. Season 4 brought the increased presence of the Salamanca cousins, Lalo and Nacho, whose actions made the drug business even more brutal. Mike committed his first on-screen murder since the flashbacks in “Five-o.

Case Summary

We start off by going further back into the past than ever, encountering Jimmy and Kim at perhaps the youngest age we’ve ever seen them: Both are pushing the mail carts around Hamlin Hamlin & McGill, but it’s third-year-law-student Kim who shows her legal ambitions when she proves her knowledge of the law to a whole and healthy Chuck McGill.

10 years later, the dynamic hasn’t really changed — Kim is hard at work for Mesa Verde, and Jimmy continues to struggle with his pursuits outside the law. However, while they’re still living together, their relationship sustains a few body blows in “Pinata”; specifically, Kim decides to join the firm of Schweikart and Cokely as a partner leading their banking division, which means she’ll be able to split up her Mesa Verde work amongst other lawyers and continue doing the...
