With only two episodes left to go, we are soon approaching the end of We Own This City. We hear the title of the show said in this episode and it’s as infuriating as it should be. The show asks the question, when the bully cops go too far even by the other bully cops standards, why do those people who could do something, still do nothing? When this corruption and violence is the input, then this unrest is the logical output. Have some feedback? Send it in to corners@baldmove.com. Hey there! Chec...

Thank you Joey for commissioning this ...
May 16, 2022•1 hr 29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Another setup episode has us tapping our foot like a prostitute-loving lawyer on cocaine wondering when we'll get to the good stuff. And it's not that the episode isn't good, it's just that anticipation of Howard's downfall is killing us. But while the Kim and Jimmy plot taketh away, the Lalo plot finally arrives to giveth, with a forehead-slappingly obvious continuation that somehow managed to be a complete surprise.

Apr 22, 2022•17 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's a good thing they released these first two episodes of Better Call Saul season 6 on the same night because Nacho's story really needed it.

Mike pulls some Mike stuff to scrub any evidence that might link Gus to the Lalo problem, while leaving a whopper of a question for us to ponder. And it's the return of the Kettlemans ...
