Our longtime Better Call Saul correspondent Will Leitch returns along with BCS to discuss the first episodes of the show's final season. Which moments made us think, "Ah yes, our show is back"? How have we revised our predictions on what happens to Kim Wexler? When and where will we see Walter White and Jesse Pinkman as the story comes to a close? And can we please get Lalo Babies to happen? After a quick gold-potty break, we went Around The Dial with Russian Doll, The First Lady, Just One Kiss, Severance, Winning Time, The Tournament (ACK!), and When Calls The Heart, before Mike S. asked us to assign aughts TV characters their own podcasts for Extra Credit. Will got real meta with his Canon presentation of the third-season Mr. Show finale, celebrity real estate won and Tyra lost, and we all had to reverse course for a Twin Peaks-ian Game Time. Before you throw that life-size cut-out of yourself in the pool, listen to this all-new episode of Extra Hot Great!
