Saul's meltdown, explained | Better Call Saul S5E7 "JMM" | Basement Breakdown

It’s time for another Basement Breakdown! Pop culture critic John Teti shows you how to find the layers of meaning in the TV you watch. In today’s video, John breaks down BETTER CALL SAUL season 5, episode 7 “JMM.” Here are some of the things that John talks about: - Jimmy and Kim have a “no rice!” wedding - Kevin Wachtell acts like Kim’s daddy, and Kim does not care for it one bit - Saul zaps his lightning fingertips and the memory of Chuck sparks to life - Can we call someone about that water damage on the courtroom ceiling? It looks like something’s rotting up there! Program note: There's some funkiness in the wide shot of me (i.e., John, now referring to myself in first person). I’m my own camera operator at the moment, and I forgot to switch some things and rotate certain other things. Perhaps a toggle or two was overlooked. So the weird visuals are not some secret commentary on Better Call Saul, sorry to disappoint. I do kind of enjoy the banding effect on the TV. (Also, intrepid editor Brendan cleaned up the footage a lot, thanks Brendan.) More soon, hooray!
