Fall Asleep To 100 Better Call Saul Facts And Easter Eggs

This video covers 100 Better Call Saul facts and easter eggs, from the show's origins as a Breaking Bad spinoff to the conflicts and hidden details of its later seasons. The video starts with how Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould began planning a Saul Goodman series while Breaking Bad was still on the air, and how Bob Odenkirk came to accept the lead role. It then covers the casting of Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler, the hidden details in the pilot episode "Uno," and the conflict between Jimmy and Chuck McGill. It also goes back to Breaking Bad scenes that set up ideas the spinoff later developed. Each fact stands on its own, so viewers can fall asleep at any point. What's covered in this video: Gilligan asked Odenkirk about a spinoff on the set of the Breaking Bad episode "Full Measure," and Odenkirk asked that Saul be made likable. AMC and Sony Pictures Television greenlit the series from a one-sentence pitch before its creators knew what the show would be. Gilligan and Gould walked around Toluca Lake in Los Angeles, debating whether the show would be a drama or a comedy. One early idea was a half-hour comedy modeled on Dr. Katz, with guest stand-up comedians playing Saul's clients. Gould's question, "What problem does becoming Saul Goodman solve?", turned the series into the story of Jimmy McGill. Odenkirk told Howard Stern he first turned the role down because his children were too young to move to Albuquerque. Casting director Sharon Bialy championed Seehorn, then best known for the sitcom Whitney. The black and white Cinnabon opening in Omaha, Nebraska, makes a Breaking Bad line come true and nods to Odenkirk's film Nebraska. "Uno" shows Jimmy's failed defense of three teenagers, his office in a nail salon back room, and his parking booth standoff with Mike Ehrmantraut. In "Pimento," written and directed by Thomas Schnauz, Chuck uses a quarantined cell phone to call Howard Hamlin and keep Jimmy out of HHM. In "Chicanery," a hidden phone battery exposes Chuck's electromagnetic hypersensitivity claim before the New Mexico bar disciplinary panel. A Breaking Bad episode shows Walter White singing along to America's "A Horse with No Name" and getting a ticket, while Hank Schrader suspects Los Zetas in a border killing.
