E79: "Westworld" vs. "Better Call Saul" & What Makes a Show 'Good'

"Westworld" season 4 ended a night before the "Better Call Saul" series finale. I have been a long-time supporter of both shows. It\'s pretty likely that both could make my top 5 at the end of the year, and yet they both took such drastically different approaches and paths towards a finale, that it warranted comparing them within the same episode.

\\n

If you\'ve watched both already, come on in, the water is warm.

\\n

If you haven\'t watched one or the other, have no fear, we follow the same format we always do when reviewing new things:

\\n

1st part = NO spoilers at all

\\n

2nd part = spoilers, but this time, the 2nd part is split in half: a "Westworld" section, and a "Better Call Saul" section, so anyone who has only seen one is still welcome too.

\\n

Then we close it out with some nonsense as always. Come for the breakdowns, stay for the nonsense, leave the gun, take the connoli.

For more thoughts on each of these shows, and the landscape of TV and movies in general, gives us a follow @thelink_podcast on Twitter and Instagram, and look forward to another big episode next week when we shift our focus from the small screen, to the big screen...or silver screen. Do they use silver? Does silver ward off vampires? Because that would link up nicely to this episode. Or is that werewolves? There was a Harry Potter 3 reference in this ep...

\\n

More of this rambling coming at you weekly.

\\n

Until then...
