Yes, someone added that after the show, as expected they made up a vulgar sex thing. LOL
But I’m wondering what the writers were really referring too, they probably invented the term but it might refer to a real con/scam, which is what it must be, not a sex act.
I haven’t seen the show, so I can’t really say. :-P
Did you watch “Breaking Bad”?
Nope. I know it was popular with some FReepers, but I never got around to seeing it.
I would recommend it.
I don’t think one needs to be a “Breaking Bad” fan to get into this show though.
I saw a few previews of Breaking Bad, and/or while flipping the channels. It always seemed to dark for me, so I never watched it.
From the commercials, this Saul show seemed lighter. I’ve watched the first two episodes and found them VERY enjoyable. After the first show I found a quick review on-line that explains things a bit. (The beginning of the show is in black and white, and shows “Saul” being a recluse after the conclusion of the breaking bad show - he’s on the run or hiding from the law, drug cartels, etc. or something.
Then the color is the flashback to how the guy (Jimmy, a down on his luck lawyer/scammer/ambulance chaser) progresses to become Saul. (I’m guessing he is “Saul”, seeing as he is the main guy).
Quirky, very funny, some non-graphic violence in episode 2 - although I saw a photo up-thread and that may change. I hope that it doesn’t get too dark and violent. No over the top swearing or sex. Yet.
“...and by then VHS had pretty much been left by the wayside.”
I have no idea when or how Jimmy does those recordings. Although if it is early on, while he’s running back into the court to save a dollar on his parking, the VHS might have a story.
“Hey Jimmy - thanks for getting me off. I can’t pay you. But here’s an old VCR I “borrowed” from a friend. Take it - or I can have Tuco ‘pay you back’”
Odenkirk has been comic gold thus far. I wondered if an hour of his wisecrack quips would work , and so far it has been great.
It starts in 2002 when VHS was still big. DVD didn't surpass it until about 2004/2005.
I’ll check it out.
Stay away from Cinnabon
