'Better Call Saul' Boss Peter Gould Almost Made a Clinton-Lewinsky Movie With Puppets

08/28/18 • 56 min

This week we're joined by Peter Gould, one of our favorite writers. The co-creator of "Better Call Saul" talks about a project he almost made with HBO years before he joined the "Breaking Bad" writer's room.

If you're enjoying Season 2 of "Slow Burn," we're pretty sure you'll love his idea to retell the Clinton-Lewinsky saga... with shadow puppets. We also talk about a great Pam Grier idea, what's up with Saul and Kim, and how to be a good writer and editor.
