FILMMAKER REACTS to BETTER CALL SAUL Episode 3: Nacho

[@brettbaumler754]

They did briefly mention that Mike was an officer in Philly when Hank was interrogating him in Season 5 of Breaking Bad.

[@ZenShroud1]

Hank: Well, here's the thing Mike. Michael? Mike: Mr. Ehrmantraut.

[@dustingrimmmagic1067]

@@ZenShroud1"so anyways Mike..."

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I'm sorry, but Jimmy's "Here's Johnny!" scene still makes me fall on my ass laughing

[@RanDoM5469]

It’s TREMENDOUS (Joey Diaz voice)

[@oliverhughes610]

The relationships in this show are so incredibly complex and detailed. Jimmy and Kim, Jimmy and Chuck, even Jimmy and Howard is a fascinating relationship. The nuance and depth to each character and the way their motivations become more and more apparent, the better they are to watch interacting together.

[@slackstarfish8133]

There isn’t a single relationship in this entire show that is “simple.” It’s what makes it so good

[@MamadNobari]

You forgot Kid and Finger.

[@transformersrevenge9]

Interesting thing. Even though this is a prequel, they can't do anything about actors aging. So there is an unspoken agreement between the viewers and the directors, that we ignore that MIke looks 5 years older than he did at the end of BB. Personally it never bothered me, but I see how such a thing annoyed some people. But the interesting part is that Saul's actor was a bit rounder and more balding for BB. For this show, he had lost weight for another role, and he has a full head of hair, instead of a comb over. So it worked out really really well, that the main character of the prequel, actually looks younger.

[@ryanmcdonald1836]

Never noticed mike tbh he just old asf for me in both series

[@SteveNathn]

@@ryanmcdonald1836 Yeah if you compare how he looks in season 6 of this show to season 2 of breaking bad you can tell he’s a lot older

[@weirdguy1495]

If it helps, I feel like Mike is in a lot more stressful situations through most of BCS so it makes sense that he looks older here from an in-story viewpoint.

[@elbruces]

Look, if we got past Todd in El Camino, we can get past anything.

[@transformersrevenge9]

@@elbruces yeah that was rough.

[@MamadNobari]

Kim Sexler is hands down the best female character in TV history.

[@atidiaX]

My favorite moment was when she went “It’s Kiming time!” and sexled all over the place

[@aquiler3959]

I am glad you are already starting to refere to him as Jimmy and not Saul. He is a very different person in BCS cmpared to Saul in Breaking Bad. Also, as somebody who has watched the show already, yes you are going to love it. Sure its "slower" but in my opinion the emotional moments hit way harder

[@Anto_Skum]

I love Kim, she's one of my favorite characters in the franchise. The characters in these two shows are amazing.

[@Yora21]

Kim and Nacho are the best of the new characters introduced in the show. There are many great ones, but they stand high above everyone else.

[@Anto_Skum]

@@Yora21 Absolutely, like James I knew of Mando first from Far Cry and he blew me away here.

[@mcgfn]

@@Yora21absolutely agreed Kim and Nacho are some of the best performances I've ever seen

[@krazykylelapointe2710]

Hey man, I just wanted to say you’re my favourite reaction channel. I really get a genuine kick out of your videos. I love how perceptive you are and how you get many of the little hidden gems hidden in video art. Keep it up, and I’d love to see something you film, sometime, if you ever feel comfortable enough to share something like that on KZbin.

[@JamesVSCinema]

That’s love seriously thank you. Happy these come off as a vibe 🤘🏽

[@dsembr]

The titles are absolutely worth calling attention to. They pull a lot of chicanery with how the episodes are titled.

[@1deron1]

LMAO

[@botz77]

Nacho is a great character. I think I was more invested in him than any of the other secondary characters in the series.

[@Jared_Wignall]

I really like the dynamic Jimmy and Mike have, it’s always entertaining. I can’t wait to see your reaction to Five-O. This is a great reaction James. Keep up the great work and have a great day. Take care!

[@noteliassmith]

Love the Kettlemans as characters - at the beginning of the show they're so much more despicable than Jimmy lmao

[@seanyoung9014]

Kim has to be one of my all time favorite characters from any television show. Is this actually a better show than BB? Man, I don't know but the fact that it's even debatable is very impressive.

[@TheDemonicPenguin]

I know you're way ahead, so you saying you love the Jimmy + Kim dynamic makes me very excited for you to react to the rest of the show.

[@j.prt.979]

Episode titles are definitely important

[@Telthar]

The scene with Jimmy in jail with Chuck asking him if he cried on the phone to his mom reminded me of Chappelle's show for some reason: the Rick James story "I mean, what am I going to do? Just start grinding my feet on his couch?.... Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch"

[@Gabagool4Christ]

James thank you! I’m making my friend who loved Breaking Bad watch this show. We are in season 5 and now he can’t stop talking about it. It gets just as good if not better than BB. I can’t wait to be on the journey with you man

[@JamesVSCinema]

That’s awesome to hear! I’ve been enjoying this show so much already!

[@Scott_Forsell]

There is ad for some snack chip called Pop Corners, or something close to that, that re-unites Walter, Jesse, and Tuco in the NM desert with the RV. It closes with Tuco trying said chips and shouting "Tight! Tight, tight!" The first time I saw it I nearly died laughing.

[@JamesVSCinema]

That’s actually incredible and why haven’t I seen this!?

[@SleepParty30]

I need to pick this show up again. I stopped watching somewhere around season 3 because I got real busy with some projects of mine, but holy shit, I love this story so much.

[@martinr3039]

I'll have to rewatch cause I can't remember if they've covered any directly, but it's neat to see the path that Walt later walks starting to be carved out even in Better Call Saul's first season. Still love these reactions, by far my favorite reactor.

[@BrandonLeeTalks]

Man your going to love this show. I honestly love better call Saul better then breaking bad by the end. You’re in for another treat my friend

[@JamesVSCinema]

The “filmmaking” is such a clear elevation. Not to say Breaking Bad was any less, it was excellent, but the story telling within that show was such an element. I feel like Better Call Saul (so far) has been proving that their element, is the filmmaking. I’m excited to see the story being shown through that lens!!

[@jculver1674]

Seriously, I envy James for the ride he's going on. I would so love to be able to go back and see this show again for the first time.

[@ritarene2965]

Dontcha love the trope where the cop car barges in out of nowhere - BWOOWOOP! - just to announce its arrival. Once you notice it, you'll never unsee it.

[@KyleBaran90]

I wouldn't call it a spoiler, but I think one of the themes is that in BB, Walter starts off as one person and becomes another (Heisenberg). With BCS, it feels like the opposite: Jimmy was always Slippin' Jimmy, and he created Saul to become someone else; but over time he realizes its who he always was

[@onepureturtle]

Did you clock that after hearing Mike's advice, Jimmy found them in the same woods where Mike will eventually get shot by Walter?

[@JamesVSCinema]

I didn’t!

"GTA SIDE MISSION" hahahaha dude that's totally why this felt familiar. It really feels like a silly GTA mission storyline and characters. This storyline is my least favorite of Better Call Saul. Thankfully the show moves on and gets a lot better but this 1st season slows down quick. Thankfully, it's still Gould and Gilligan. They are masters and they make it work well enough in it's worst episodes. I wish this first season was better because a lot of my friends fell off and missed a terrific show.

Howard is god

[@amacuro]

Bettet Call Saul is Better Call Saul for the first couple of seasons. Then it starts to shape into Breaking Bad slowly, but towards the last couple of seasons it is just full blown Breaking Bad. By the time Better Call Saul ended, most of us were thinking that it was even better than Breaking Bad.

[@megatron4466]

what? no. Better call saul is Better caul saul, the most Breaking bad Better call saul gets is episode 2. It is its own show If you mean it gets AS good as breaking bad then I 100% agree

[@amacuro]

@@megatron4466 what I meant was that BCS is more about lawyers that the drug business. And it's more action that doesn't imply risking lives, but more about financial situations and professional development. BB is more action related to risking lives, more gang business, drugs, that kind of thing. I think James noticed this difference pretty quickly, hence why I made the comment.
