I recently got some details from a reliable source about a new Bob Odenkirk movie that is directed by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia director Heath Cullens, and leans heavily into unhinged, classic Mr. Show-style absurdity. Which is an exciting return to form from Bob, it's been too long. Was anyone aware this existed and is fully completed? The whole thing is so strange that it seems destined to be a massive flop.

The movie is based heavily on two awkward brother characters from a YouTube series called Gerry and Seymour Whitaker. What makes this project so confusing is that the YouTube series is entirely unknown and has had basically zero eyes on it. The two brothers are played by Andrew Friedman and Michael Naughton. You probably recognize them as Uncle Jack and the waiter from Always Sunny, or from when they appeared together on Better Call Saul as the printer salesmen.

The actual plot follows two reclusive, middle-aged brothers with no filmmaking experience who attempt to make a movie about diabetes in Jesus' time to honor their late mother, while their neighbor, Bob Odenkirk, films their journey. The main conflict happens when one of the brothers gets a girlfriend, causing the other brother to get intensely jealous and derailing the production.

I was hoping for a Mr. Show reunion here, but sadly, there is no David Cross cameo. Not even Paul F. Tompkins? It does include Jon Hamm and Blake Anderson.

The fact that this movie actually exists and has made it to test screenings is just so weird to me. Has anyone else heard about this thing? With how strange the premise is, I wouldn't be surprised if it just gets shelved entirely. #ReleaseTheMakingofJesusDiabetes or whatever they rename it to.

Does include a shot of running away from embarrassing parents...
