Beach Bunny Receive a Broadcast from Bob Odenkirk in New “Karaoke” Video: Watch
Beach Bunny are gearing up to share their sophomore album Emotional Creature. But before it’s out July 22nd, the Chicago power-pop quartet have unveiled the record’s third single “Karaoke” today, as well as its galactic music video that features an out-of-this-world cameo from a longtime fan of the band: Bob Odenkirk. “Karaoke” is a sun-soaked guitar pop jam and an instant earworm. Its lyrics navigate the sweet nuances of a crush in its early stages, where you understand just enough about someone to feel that sense of overwhelming attraction while still maintaining a sense of playful mystery. “I learn all the words to your daydreams/ Like I’m trying to sing karaoke,” bandleader Lili Trifilio sings, before ushering in a ba-ba-ba chorus that immediately encourages you to sing along. “[‘...
Bob Odenkirk Joins Beach Bunny in Their Star Wars-Inspired Video
May the fourth be with you. Beach Bunny travels far, far away in their latest video for “Karaoke,” featuring none other than lawyer-turned-space-commander Saul Goodman. That’s right: Bob Odenkirk makes an appearance in the clip. [embedded content][embedded content] In the video, Trifilio and her space squad are fitted up in Star Wars-inspired cloaks. They watch a vintage band (which is really themselves) perform on a retro TV set, while the track’s spacey, innocent flow renders through raindrop guitar picks and casual alt-rock drums. “‘Karaoke’ is a song about having a crush,” Beach Bunny said in a statement. “It’s about infatuation, fleeting feelings, and the bittersweet nature of uncertainty. It’s about learning pieces of who someone is and liking them before even knowing the whole story...
Bob Odenkirk to Star in New AMC Series Straight Man
The final season of Better Call Saul hasn’t even premiered yet, but AMC and Bob Odenkirk have already set their sights on the actor’s next project. Titled Straight Man, the series is being fast-track developed with a targeted premiere in 2023. Straight Man centers around the mid-life crisis of William Henry Devereaux, Jr. (Odenkirk), the unlikely chairman of the English department at the badly underfunded Railton College in the Pennsylvania rust belt. Showrunners Aaron Zelman (Damages) and Paul Lieberstein (The Office) are adapting the series from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo’s novel of the same name, with Peter Farrelly attached to direct. Zelman and Lieberstein will also executive produce with Odenkirk, Farrelly, Russo, Naomi Odenkirk, and Marc Provissiero. ...
Better Call Saul Season 6 Review: The Beginning of the End Is As Exquisitely Stressful As Ever
The Pitch: “Meticulous.” “Chilling.” “Engrossing.” There are so many words that come to mind when sitting down with a new installment of Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad spin-off which has somehow soared to a whole new tier of quality over the years. No spoilers (for fear of the Salamancas knocking at the door), but it can be said that the first two episodes of Season 6 keep this proud tradition going. As the show gears up for its last hurrah (the first seven episodes of the final season debut starting Monday, April 18th, with the second half of the season returning in July), every element of one of TV’s best-made shows is working hard to invest us in so many of the show’s biggest questions, including the most important one of all: How’s it going to end? Where Were We? Season 5 of Saul e...

Nobody Is the Premier Dad Film of 2021: Review
The Pitch: Hutch Mansell’s the name, and accounting is his game. Bob Odenkirk is Mansell, a five o’clock shadow of a human being, working in a warehouse as the back-office calculator. He drones day in and day out, running the numbers for louder and more macho men. His son hates him. His wife sleeps with a pillow between them. His life is the very model of suburban repression and depression, but beneath the pale exterior lies a sleeping giant. Prior to accountancy, Hutch was a homicidal “accountant” for “all the places with acronym names”, as he puts it. He was once a veritable James Bond, with an affinity for swift completions and anonymity. Now, no more. It’s all Restoration Hardware décor and vinyl collections for lame old Hutch. But where most men spend their midlife crises on cars, boa...

If you’ve missed any part of our Annual Report, you can check out all the coverage here. It feels strange to say, but television has never felt more important than it did in 2020. With the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic all but trapping us in our homes, the medium has served as an essential, if not comprehensive, escape for viewers worldwide. This notion became clear with Tiger King, a show that nabbed record eyes (or so Netflix says) in the budding days of lockdown. The world became so scary, we looked to a bizarre tale of over-the-top zoo owners and assassination attempts for comfort. With...

David Cross, Bryan Cranston, Jack Black, and Many More Team Up to Sing Weird Al’s ‘Eat It’
Who said good things can’t come from celebrities joining together in song?
