The Welcome to Media Roots Radio. This is Abby Martin.

This is Robbie Martin. Welcome to Media Roots Radio. How's everybody doing today? How's everybody feeling out there? We ended the last

0:43.0

episode kind of quickly trying to wrap up about the boys TV show. We are going to talk a lot

0:50.3

more about Roe versus Wade, the overturning of it on this episode.

0:54.9

But right before we started recording, Abby, we were talking about how even shows like

0:59.6

the boys, even though we like them, it feels like they are generally designed to stretch

1:05.8

things out indefinitely to the point where even when you think consequential things are going to happen on the show,

1:12.5

major characters being killed or anything major happening, it always seems to kind of get

1:18.6

resolved to the point where it doesn't fundamentally change anything too much so that the next

1:23.8

season can happen, essentially on pretty much any show. You go to even a show like

1:28.8

1:51.5

Better Call Saul is maybe even a better show than Breaking Bad, which I never would have thought I would

1:58.5

feel, you know, in the first season. It always seemed to me

2:01.2

like it was living in the shadow of it. But I almost find it more interesting and more rewatchable

2:07.0

than Breaking Bad was. Like I rewatched all of season five in preparation for season six, and I

2:13.4

loved it even more. Like, it's one of the only TV shows that I have been able to rewatch like that.

2:20.8

So, yeah, I know that you have it.

You kind of have gone off of it, Abby.
