We’re nearing the home stretch. Just one episode left to cover after this, and then the season re-cap. But there is plenty of machinations left to unravel. Frank uses national security, the death of a mother-in-law, and the inexperience and ambition of his political rival for his own gain, aided and abetted by his right hand woman, Claire. Can frank defeat both political parties, a skilled and savvy reporter with a lot of axe to grind, as well as the terrorist organization ICO in just one more hour of television? We’ll find ou
It’s fair to say that neither Jim nor A.Ron was under or overwhelmed by this episode, number 613, “The Same Boat”. Thus properly whelmed, we discuss the themes of the episode, including Carol’s sudden (?) change of heart with regards to her ruthlessness and apparent callous disregard for life, Maggie’s maternal nature, how we feel about the Saviors now that we’ve seen a slightly softer side, and Carol and Maggie’s innovating combination of slaughterhouse and barbecue. All this, tons of feedback, and a healthy spoiler section at the very end of the episode await your listening pleasure.

It’s all out political war as Frank and Claire fight on all fronts, Islamic terror organizations, search engine snooping, the vice presidential nomination, Republican opposition, gun control, Supreme Court nominations, domestic surveillance… it’s like the Underwoods want to touch every third rail in politics simultaneously. What’s next, taking on Social Security? Are they insane? We’ll check back in with you next week on Tuesday to see how they manage to escape from the various predicaments they find themselves, then we’ll wrap things up with the finale and wrap up podcast Friday!
We’ve watch the trailers (see number one and number two), read the press, and are appropriately hyped for season two of Netflix’s man without fear, Daredevil. How long will the confrontation with the Punisher last, how does Elektra and the mysterious Hand organization fit in, and has everybody forgotten about Kingpin already? Next Friday, March 18th, our coverage begins! We’ll have new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday out until we run out of them to podcast on. Can’t wait, see you then!
Jim and A.Ron are loving the latest episode of Better Call Saul, number 204, “Gloves Off”. Lots of great background and historical details to give our Breaking Bad side the warm fuzzies, and lots of present day action and character intrigue to satisfy our inner Sauls. We discuss our increasingly nuanced positions on Chuck and Jimmy as characters, what a raw deal Kim got, the cool background details we got on the enigmatic Mike, plow through tons of feedback, and more Law Talk!
