Better Call Saul is an American television crime drama series created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. It is a spin-off prequel of Gilligan's prior series Breaking Bad.[3] Set in the early 2000s, Better Call Saul follows the story of small-time lawyer James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill (Bob Odenkirk), six years before his appearance on Breaking Bad as Saul Goodman; events after the original series are briefly explored as well.[4]
The first season, which premiered on AMC on February 8, 2015,[5] consists of 10 episodes. The show's 10-episode second season premiered on February 15, 2016.[6] The series was renewed for a 10-episode third season,[7] which premiered April 10, 2017.[8] On June 27, 2017, the series was renewed by AMC for a 10-episode fourth season that is planned to premiere in 2018.[9]
Like its predecessor, Better Call Saul has received critical acclaim, particularly for its acting, writing, and directing with many critics calling it a worthy successor to Breaking Bad. It has garnered several nominations, including a Peabody Award, 23 Primetime Emmy Awards, seven Writers Guild of America Awards, five Critics' Choice Television Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and two Golden Globe Awards. The series premiere held the record for the highest-rated scripted series premiere in basic cable history at the time of its airing.

Premise
Better Call Saul follows the life of the character Saul Goodman some years prior to the events of Breaking Bad. Goodman, born as James "Jimmy" McGill, is a former con artist now trying to follow a more lawful career as an aspiring lawyer in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He seeks to become a partner in the law firm which his older brother Charles "Chuck" McGill is a senior partner. However, Jimmy's work is frequently overshadowed by Chuck's past reputation, and he struggles to find a way to prove himself, even with the help of another associate in the firm, Kim Wexler, with whom he also becomes romantically involved. At the same time, Jimmy frequently takes care of Chuck, who claims to have electromagnetic hypersensitivity, a condition that makes him physically ill in the presence of anything with an electronic component and has caused him to take an extended leave from his firm and regular law work. Interspersed among Jimmy's activities are the prior histories of other Breaking Bad characters, including Mike Ehrmantraut, a former police officer who becomes involved in illegal drug trafficking schemes, and drug kingpins Hector Salamanca and Gus Fring, who help distribute drugs illegally brought to the area from Mexico.
The series also provides brief glimpses of Saul's fate after the events of Breaking Bad: he has taken on a new identity in Omaha, Nebraska as a Cinnabon manager.
Production
Conception
In July 2012, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan hinted at a possible spin-off about Saul Goodman.[10] In a July 2012 interview, Gilligan said he liked "the idea of a lawyer show in which the main lawyer will do anything it takes to stay out of a court of law", including settling on the courthouse steps.[11]
In April 2013, the series was confirmed to be in development by Gilligan and Gould; the latter wrote the Breaking Bad episode that introduced the character.[12]
Casting
Bob Odenkirk stars as lawyer Jimmy McGill (known as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad). In January 2014, it was announced that Jonathan Banks would reprise his Breaking Bad role as Mike Ehrmantraut and be a series regular.[13] Aaron Paul announced having had "serious talks" with Gilligan for possible guest appearances,[14] but later told The Huffington Post it was not going to happen.[15] Dean Norris, another Breaking Bad alumnus, announced that he would not be appearing, partly due to his involvement in the CBS series Under the Dome.[16] Anna Gunn also mentioned a "talk" with Gilligan over possible guest appearances.[17]
Michael McKean was cast as McGill's elder brother Chuck, having previously guest-starred in an episode of Odenkirk's Mr. Show and Gilligan's X-Files episode "Dreamland".[18][19] The cast also includes Patrick Fabian as Howard Hamlin, Rhea Seehorn as Kimberly "Kim" Wexler, and Michael Mando as Ignacio "Nacho" Varga.[20] In October 2014, Kerry Condon was cast[21] as Stacey Ehrmantraut, Mike's daughter-in-law. In November 2014, it was announced that Julie Ann Emery and Jeremy Shamos had been cast as Betsy and Craig Kettleman, described as "the world's squarest outlaws."[22]
Development history
By July 2013, the series had yet to be green-lighted.[23] Netflix was one of many interested distributors, but ultimately a deal was made between AMC and Breaking Bad production company Sony Pictures Television.[24] Gilligan and Gould serve as co-showrunners and Gilligan directed the pilot.[25] Former Breaking Bad writers Thomas Schnauz and Gennifer Hutchison joined the writing staff, with Schnauz serving as co-executive producer and Hutchison as supervising producer.[26] Also on the writing staff are Bradley Paul, and Gordon Smith, who was a writer's assistant on Breaking Bad.[25]
In developing the series, the producers considered making the show a half-hour comedy,[12] but ultimately chose an hour-long format more typical of a drama.[11] In October 2014, Odenkirk called the show "85 percent drama, 15 percent comedy."[27] During his appearance on Talking Bad, Odenkirk noted that Saul was one of the most popular characters on the show, speculating that the audience likes the character because he is the program's least hypocritical figure, and is good at his job.[28] Better Call Saul also employs Breaking Bad's signature time jumps.[29]
As filming began on June 2, 2014,[30] Gilligan expressed some concern regarding the possible disappointment from the series' turnout, in terms of audience reception.[31][32]
On June 19, 2014, AMC announced it had renewed the series for a second season of 13 episodes to premiere in early 2016;[25] however, it was later reduced to 10 episodes.[33] The first teaser trailer debuted on AMC on August 10, 2014, and confirmed its premiere date of February 2015.[34] In November 2014, AMC announced the series would have a two-night premiere; the first episode aired on Sunday, February 8, 2015, at 10:00 pm (ET), and then moved into its regular time slot the following night, airing Mondays at 10:00 pm.[5] In May 2015, Gilligan confirmed that more of the prominent characters from Breaking Bad would be making guest appearances in season 2, but remained vague on which characters were likely to be seen.[35]
In March 2016, AMC announced that Better Call Saul was renewed for a 10-episode third season.[7] In June 2017, AMC renewed the series for a 10-episode fourth season to air in 2018.[9]
Like its predecessor, Better Call Saul is set and filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[36]

Season 1 (2015)
Main article: Better Call Saul (season 1)
Jimmy, serving as a public defender, inadvertently becomes entangled in an embezzlement case involving the Kettleman family, currently being represented by Chuck's firm Hamlin Hamlin & McGill. Jimmy schemes to become the Kettleman's lawyer, which causes Kim, the associate at HHM overseeing the case, to be demoted. Jimmy gains attention from the case, finding himself taking up several elder law cases, and discovers that Sandpiper Retirement Homes have been mishandling their residents' funds, leading to a potential multi-million class action lawsuit. Jimmy tries to offer this suit to HHM and to hire him, but Chuck secretly blocks this. Jimmy discovers Chuck's involvement and instead ends up turning the case over to HHM for counsel's fees and requiring Howard Hamlin to take over caring for Chuck. Later, Jimmy learns that the Sandpiper case has gotten too big and HHM is portioning part of the work to a second firm, Davis & Main, who want to hire Jimmy due to his knowledge of the case.
Season 2 (2016)
Main article: Better Call Saul (season 2)
Jimmy is put in charge of outreach for the Sandpiper case, but there are very few responses from potential class members from traditional mailings. Jimmy does improper face-to-face solicitation to draw in class members, but Chuck points out this runs afoul of state law. Instead, Jimmy creates his own ad targeted to seniors and airs it without getting its approval by his senior partners. While the ad draws in many clients, Jimmy is reprimanded, and Kim, who was aware Jimmy was making the ad, is further shunned and demoted down to document review at HHM. To try to regain her position, Kim runs through her old contacts, and eventually is able to arrange a meeting between HHM and Mesa Verde, a large regional bank. Though HHM secures the deal, Howard denies Kim any of the credit. Jimmy, who has quit out of Davis & Main, leads Kim to quit HHM and establish her own firm co-located with his as to share the overhead costs. She nearly resecures the Mesa Verde deal herself but Chuck interjects to block her. In revenge, Jimmy makes falsified copies of all the deal papers with an incorrect address, which, when HHM and Mesa Verde present to the government, are forced to put the deal on hold; Chuck becomes paranoid and is convinced Jimmy fakes it, while Kim is able to come in and take back Mesa Verde for herself. When Jimmy next visits Chuck, Chuck feigns illness to bring Jimmy to confess falsifying the documents, which he records on tape.
Season 3 (2017)
Main article: Better Call Saul (season 3)
Chuck plots for Jimmy to learn of the existence of the taped conversation through Kim. Jimmy breaks open Chuck's door and breaks the tape, but Chuck has Howard and a private investigator hiding nearby to witness this, allowing him to issue a criminal offence against Jimmy, which can include having his license to practice law pulled. At the hearing, Jimmy creates a situation where Chuck's electromagnetic hypersensitivity was tested, putting his sanity into question; Jimmy is only blocked from practicing law for a year. To try to cover his part of the shared office, Jimmy turns to producing commercials for local businesses under the name "Saul Goodman", but Kim still is forced to take on extra clients to fully cover expenses, leading to sleep deprivation and causing her to crash her car and break her arm. HHM's insurance learns of Chuck's condition from the trial and threatens to raise their rates as a result, and while Chuck tries to work with a doctor to avoid his hypersensitivity symptoms, Howard ultimately buys Chuck out of his share of HHM, terminating him from the firm. Jimmy tries to make amends, but Chuck refuses to listen, and his hypersensitivity symptoms return. After a fit of tearing out the wiring from his home, Chuck purposely knocks a gas lantern over and starts a fire.

Guardians of the Galaxy (soundtrack)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album for the Marvel Studios film of the same name. Featuring the songs present on Peter Quill's mixtape in the film,[1] the album was released by Hollywood Records on July 29, 2014. A separate film score album, Guardians of the Galaxy (Original Score), composed by Tyler Bates, was also released by Hollywood Records on the same date, along with a deluxe version featuring both albums.[1] The soundtrack album reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming the first soundtrack album in history consisting entirely of previously released songs to top the chart.
The album topped the Billboard Top Soundtracks for 11 consecutive weeks[2] and 16 weeks in total.[3] As of April 2017, it has sold over 1.75 million copies in the United States alone, and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA.[4] The album was the US's second best-selling soundtrack album of 2014, behind only the soundtrack to Frozen.[5]

Background[edit]
In August 2013 the film's director, James Gunn, posted on his Facebook page that Tyler Bates would be composing the film's score. Gunn stated that Bates will write some of the score first so that he can film to the music, as opposed to scoring to the film.[6] In February 2014, Gunn revealed that the film would incorporate songs from the 1970s and 1980s, such as "Hooked on a Feeling", on a mixtape in Quill's Walkman, which acts as a way for him to stay connected to the Earth, home and family he lost.[7] In May 2014, Gunn added that using the songs from the 70s and 80s were "cultural reference points", saying, "It's striking the balance throughout the whole movie, through something that is very unique, but also something that is easily accessible to people at the same time. The music and the Earth stuff is one of those touchstones that we have to remind us that, yeah, [Quill] is a real person from planet Earth who's just like you and me. Except that he's in this big outer space adventure."[8]

Track listing[edit]
All songs—with the exception of "Spirit in the Sky", which is played in the trailer—are featured in the film.[10] "Never Been to Spain" by Three Dog Night, "Magic" by Pilot, and "Livin' Thing" by Electric Light Orchestra were also used during filming; however, the scenes in which they were featured were cut from the final version of the film.[11][12] "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell and "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" by Three Dog Night were originally considered for the film instead of "Moonage Daydream".[12] "Fox on the Run" by Sweet and "Surrender" by Cheap Trick were also considered for the film.[13] Both would be used for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2's Awesome Mix Vol. 2.[14]
