Can Peter Gould hook 'Breaking Bad' fans on 'Better Call Saul'?
Rachel speaks with Peter Gould, Breaking Bad writer and co-creator of the new prequel Better Call Saul, about appeasing a rabid Breaking Bad fan base and overcoming the pressures of a creating a spin-off.
How does a writer go about appeasing a fan base in serious withdrawal? Breaking Bad writer Peter Gould joins guest host Rachel Giese to discuss the new prequel Better Call Saul, starring Bob Odenkirk.
Gould speaks to the pressure of pulling a new thread out from the wildly popular series, and how his own skepticism about spin-offs gave way to his passion for the project. He also reflects on why charming and corrupt lawyer Saul Goodman -- a.k.a. James "Jimmy" Morgan McGill -- is enough of a character to carry his own show, even if you've never watched Breaking Bad.
