TV Sessions

July 11th can’t come soon enough so in the meantime we figured it was worth recording a new Better Call Saul episode to get extra excited! Join Gabe and a fan of both the TV Sessions podcast and Better Call Saul...Omar! We decided to invite one of our listeners on and we had a blast going in-depth on our favourite show. As is TV Sessions tradition, we shared some nerdy lists including: a top 10 favourite episodes of the show, ranking every episode of Season 6A and listing our favourite scenes from the season so far. We end off by looking ahead to these last 6 and getting hyped for the imminent conclusion of this masterpiece! And of course Gabe and Luke will be back for episode by episode breakdowns as usual starting next week!

After a month off, TV Sessions is back with a new episode! While we await the back half of Better Call Saul’s final season, Gabe and Luke return with a discussion of a new season for another stellar show, Season 3 of HBO's Barry! For the first half of the pod we share our rankings of every show we’ve watched this year before breaking down this bold and ambitious season of TV orchestrated by Bill Hader. As always we go in-depth by getting into our favourite characters, episodes and scenes and we are very much looking forward to Season 4!

Gabe and Luke are back to talk about the mid-season finale of Better Call Saul’s final season! Wow, it is hard to put into words how phenomenal this episode was but we did our best by breaking down as much as we could. We ended up with our longest episode reaction yet but we really felt this one deserved it. This masterful episode titled “Plan and Execution” written and directed by Tom Schnauz will go down as one of TV’s greatest episodes. So many emotions, so much payoff and an ending scene that may go down as one of the most shocking things we’ve ever seen. The Saul team left us with so much to think about and we can’t wait until July 11th! This is as good as TV ever gets! 

Gabe and Luke are back to talk about another new Better Call Saul episode, this week’s instalment is titled “Axe and Grind” and was directed by Giancarlo Esposito! With the first half of the season winding down, we had some drinks to celebrate and the passion is at an all time high! We ended up with a discussion over double the length of our previous live reaction episodes! There was so much to talk about here, especially the complexity of Kim Wexler, and of course we had tons of fun rambling on the greatness of this show yet again!

Luke is back for the second week in a row to talk with Gabe about another new episode of Better Call Saul! This week’s episode titled “Black and Blue” was another classic Saul slow burner. Turns out there were some slight disagreements on the quality of this one but we still had a great time breaking it all down, especially the return of a favourite character!

Gabe is joined by Luke for the first time in many months to talk about the newest episode of Better Call Saul! We start off catching up with Luke’s thoughts on the season so far before getting into detail on this week’s episode titled “Hit and Run.” What a great episode! Tune in to hear our praise for Rhea Seehorn in her directorial debut and more genuine excitement and fan-boying over how masterful this show is!

Gabe and Kat are back to talk about the newest episode of Better Call Saul and boy oh boy are we sad and crushed. This week’s episode titled “Rock and Hard Place” was absolutely monumental. Tune in to hear about our praise for Michael Mando, Gordon Smith and more!

The best show on TV is back and it hasn’t missed a beat! Join Gabe and Kat as they break down the double premiere of Better Call Saul’s final season, there was just so much good stuff to talk about here. The Lalo-Gus chess match continues, the clock is ticking on Nacho’s fate and the Kim and Jimmy dynamic is as intriguing as ever. Oh how we’ve missed these characters!

It’s been a few months but TV Sessions is back to cover one of TV’s all time great dramas as it reaches it’s conclusion...Better Call Saul! Join Gabe and Kat as they're back to talk about all things Better Call Saul to get hyped for tomorrow’s premiere for the final season. This one is a bit disorganized with thoughts all over the place but the passion is definitely there, this show is something special and we can’t wait for new episodes! We’ll be covering the final season of Better Call Saul just as we covered Succession Season 3, so tune in week to week as we cover each new Season 6 episode!
