In this week's London Calling the talking points are Neil Parish's fall from grace, the coming global famine, Scary Poppins, the difference between Ozarks and Breaking Bad, and Tony Blair's resurrection.

-by NoahHow’s that for allegory? As soon as news came that President Crazy Pants, aka big orange traitor, aka Putin’s Butt Boy, had fired the man who he feared was getting too close to the truth, speculation as to what name would be issued forth from the bunker as a nominee to replace former FBI Director Comey ran wild.The first two names I thought of, of course, were Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie, but, my mind didn’t stop there.
Look who's back! In case you were wondering, no, in the future, which is to say in Breaking Bad times, Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) and "Tio" (Mark Margolis) never did meet -- or never do meet? (It's hard to get the verb tenses right.)by KenOkay, I'm reminded in the interview we're going to get to with that great character actor Mark Margolis that in Breaking Bad we actually did see Hector "Tio" Salamanca, the onetime cartel-kingpin uncle of the terrifying Tuco Salamanca, talk: in flashback.
It's kind of a shame that we already knew that Jimmy McGill going to tangle with this familiar-to-us face, but the producers had to give us something in the name of -- gasp -- publicity, if only to guard the important secrets."You also realize that it wasn’t the drug that made him that way. Deep down inside, he just has anger issues."-- Raymond Cruz, on playing Tuco Salamanca again,but now six years before Breaking Badby KenYou know how I always say I'd like to know as little as possible about a TV show or movie I'm going to watch? Case in point: the premier episode of Better Call Saul.
Better Call Saul showrunners Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan"The character of Jimmy McGill has taken us places we never expected. Jimmy's not yet Saul Goodman: he's his own man, and he's messy and struggling and still finding himself."-- from the open letter from Vince and Peterby KenI realize that I'm risking becoming a PR shill for Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad prequel that AMC is unveiling in a two-part premiere Sunday and Monday, February 8 and 9, at 10pm/9pm CT.
"Money is not 'beside the point.' Money is the point."-- Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), aka Saul Goodman,in AMC's Better Call Saulby KenThanks for clarifying that, Saul . . . er, Jimmy. Note that as we edge closer to the two-night premiere of Better Call Saul, February 8 and 9, AMC has released this "extended trailer."Which still leaves the matter of a second possible Breaking Bad prequel that has been discussed, The Rise of Gus. While rummaging around online, I found this interview with Giancarlo Esposito which was posted in May 2014.
AMC is running a complete Breaking Bad marathon.by KenIf you're reading this now, chances are pretty good that you're not in at the start of AMC's complete-series segmented marathon of Breaking Bad, which began this morning at 10am ET/PT, 9am CT, and 8am MT (as best I can tell -- if ever there was a time to consult your local listings, this is it), but you've still got oodles of time to join in.
Updated, with the actual clip embeddedLatest tidings from the Better Call Saul set in Albuquerqueby KenBe still, my heart! I know the above picture is crap [UPDATE: all fixed! see the explanation below -- Ed.], but yes, that really is our very own Saul Goodman -- or rather, I gather, some yokel named Jimmy McGill. And Better Call Saul is apparently on target for a February rollout. And the 2:27 tease is authentically worth the trouble for anyone who's looking forward to the series as much as I am.
