Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Mad Men-centric debut, DVR Club continues today with a look at the Better Call Saul season finale, “Marco.” If you missed it yesterday, DVR Club is our new recap/commentary show, designed to spark conversation while an episode is still fresh in our minds. In today’s installment, John Teti and Josh Modell reflect on “Marco” and the Better Call Saul season as a whole. We talk about the abrupt choice Jimmy makes at the end of the episode, the importance of the number three throughout the season, and that wonderful game show microphone Jimmy uses to share the finer points of a “Chicago sunroof” with old folks. Plus much more.

And if you haven’t already, be sure to read Donna Bowman’s review of “Marco.” “The tragedy of Oedipus is that he acted like he was free when he was actually living out a script written by the fates,” Donna writes. “So it is for Jimmy.”
