Breaking Goodman S01E09: What the Chuck!?!
This episode of Breaking Goodman covers Season 1 episode 9 of the best show on TV right now- Better Call Saul. In this penultimate episode entitled “Pimento” things take a turn. We were flying high and then it all came crashing down. Last week we “predicted” a fall was coming, but this one hurt more than what we even came up with. Damn you Gilligan! Next week is going to be interesting. Also, the podcast won’t be up until probably Thursday morning (at the latest) as we’re holding off recording until Wednesday night.
Apologies to: The actor that plays Mr. Kettleman, 70’s TV shows, Peter from the Cosby Show, K-Strass the Yo-Yo Master, anyone that listens to us but has not seen Breaking Bad, and Severus Snape.

Breaking Goodman S01E08: Spoliation
This episode of Breaking Goodman covers Season 1 Episode 8 of Better Call Saul entitled “RICO”. In an effort to be more informative as we head into the final episodes of the podcast I’ll say that RICO in this case referring to the Racketeer and Corrupt Organizations Act. Also, Spoliation which was brought mentioned a few times, as you can guess is “The spoliation of evidence is the intentional, reckless, or negligent withholding, hiding, altering, or destroying of evidence relevant to a legal proceeding.”Lots of people winning in this episode, which as we discuss on the podcast will probably mean that some big losses are headed our way. Some sad, but probably true predictions brought up in this one. Just two episodes left…

Breaking Goodman S01E07: Cocobolo
This episode of Breaking Goodman covers the Season One Episode 7 of Better Call Saul entitled “Bingo”. This show just keeps getting better. I thought last week’s Mike-centric episode would be tough to beat, but this just about does it. This week on the podcast is Mike Marbach, Mike Henley and Brian Craig. Rate and review on iTunes!
Apologies: The guy who plays Craig Kettleman, People who haven’t seen Breaking Bad, but listen to this podcast, The Simpsons, and Chewbacca.

Breaking Goodman S01E06: The Juan Valdez Bump & Dump
This show just keeps getting better. As Brian says on the podcast, this was an episode every fan of Breaking Bad was waiting for. We know Mike’s character, but seeing what it was that got him to where he was when we met up with him on BB was fantastic. We saw several sides of Mike in this episode and each one was nailed by Banks. He’ll probably be nominated for a supporting actor Emmy when the time comes. I’ve already said Odenkirk will be up for Lead Actor and I stand by that. If he doesn’t win I lose nothing anyway. If you watch this show, listen to this podcast, but haven’t watched Breaking Bad… first sorry for all the spoilers. You probably shouldn’t listen to the show. Second, write in and let us know how this episode played for you. Was it still good? Boring? Did it suck for someone that hasn’t seen Breaking Bad? SRMPodcast@gmail.com. Write us!

Breaking Goodman S01E05: The Man in the Booth
In this episode of Breaking Goodman we cover Episode 5 of Better Call Saul titled “Alpine Shepherd Boy”. It’s just Mike Henley and me on this one, so we kind of go through things pretty quick. Not too much happened in the episode anyway. Still a solid episode though. Many seemed to have problems with the pacing of this episode. Mike and I thought it was fine and in fact kind of applaud the show taking the long way around some things. If you enjoy this then rate and review us on iTunes!

Breaking Goodman S01E04: Hamlindigo
This episode of Breaking Goodman covers season one episode four of Better Call Saul titled “Hero”. I continue to love this show. This episode was not as action packed or tension filled, but it was entertaining from start to finish. I think there’s some bigger trouble brewing with Hamlin and Jimmy and that’s not gonna be good for anybody. Joining the podcast this week is Samantha Russell Craig, Brian Craig, and Michael Henley. Apologies to Rand Paul, Bakers, Chris Carter, Chris Carter, and The Bible.
