This episode contains spoilers for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Today Better Call Saul writer, director and executive producer Tom Schnauz joins our rare three timer club as he returns to the show to talk about the legendary Monkees. We talk about the false perception of the Monkees as a ‘fake band’, the Monkees TV show and how it introduced Tom to their music, Tom’s friendship with Micky Dolenz, the original audition notice that led to the band’s formation, how and why Tom used two deeper cut Monkees tracks for montages in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and some Monkees trivia direct from Micky himself.
