Oh, sweet merciful carp! 🎣 Another Bob Odenkirk flick? Seriously? Is this guy contractually obligated to be in EVERYTHING? Someone needs to check his agent’s basement; probably filled with compromising photos. Anyway, this cinematic masterpiece – I use the term loosely – is brought to you by the twisted minds behind JOHN WICK (yay, more senseless violence! 🥳) and NOBODY (because one Odenkirk action movie was clearly not enough). This time, he’s a substitute sheriff. A SUBSTITUTE sheriff! As if that’s not the most thrilling premise you’ve ever heard. 😴
So, apparently, Odenkirk plays this dude named Ulysses – yes, ULYSSES! 🙄 As if naming him after a legendary hero will somehow make this film epic. He’s hiding from his “marital woes” and “moral injuries.” Oh, boo-hoo! 😭 Like we haven’t seen that trope a million times. He ends up in a town called…wait for it…NORMAL. *Gasp!* How original! 🤯 But guess what? It’s not normal! 😲 A bank robbery happens (because small-town life is just too darn boring), and Ulysses, our not-so-intrepid hero, stumbles upon a dark secret. Cue dramatic music! 🎶 I bet it involves aliens 👽, or maybe a government conspiracy 🤫, or perhaps even worse… a sequel! 😨
And hold on to your hats folks, because the legendary Henry Winkler and Lena Headey are also in this dumpster fire! 🔥 Winkler, bless his heart, probably needed the paycheck. And Lena? Well, Cersei Lannister probably needed a break from all that incest and wine. 🍷 What a waste of talent! 😫
Ben Wheatley, the genius behind FREE FIRE (which was okay, I guess 🤔) and HIGH RISE (which was just…weird 🥴), is directing this train wreck. Derek Kolstad, the JOHN WICK guy, wrote it, because apparently, he’s incapable of writing anything else. ✍️ Bob Odenkirk himself co-wrote the story, because, you know, he’s got so many brilliant ideas just bursting to get out. 🙄 Marc Provissiero, who produced NOBODY, is also involved. Birds of a feather, I suppose. 🤷♀️
We have a whole army of Executive Producers too. Molly C. Quinn, Matthew M. Welty, Elan Gale, Josh Adler, Rhonda Baker, Carrie Wilkins, Glenn Feig, Matthew J. Anderson, Jared D. Underwood, Andrew C. Robinson, and Ellen Rutter. I bet they all fought to get their names on this thing. 🤔 (I am kidding! Who would fight for this?)
Odenkirk is repped by, like, a million agencies. WME, OPE Partners, Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole and The Lede Company. Seriously? Does one person need that much representation? 🤨 Probably to negotiate better deals for his next cinematic abortion. 🤮
Magnolia Pictures, bless their cotton socks, is releasing this cinematic gem 💎 (more like a cinematic turd 💩) in US cinemas on April 17, 2026. Mark your calendars, folks! 🗓️ You won’t want to miss this opportunity to waste two hours of your life! ⏳ I am sure there are better things to do, like watching paint dry 🎨, or counting ceiling tiles. 🧮
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
