The habitually funny Bob Odenkirk has a new Adult Swim series called Let’s Do This!, in which he plays a washed-up B-movie mogul named Cal Mackenzie-Goldberg trying to return to his former "glory" days. It’s online only, which means you can now watch the first episode setting up the show’s premise and fleshing it out with a handful of downbeat details — the low-budget productions, the questionable Ugandan financiers, the rippped off movie concepts (Ex-Terminator and Harry Podder, anyone?) and more. "We’re right between two dentists!," he proudly exclaims while showing the camera around the studio.
You might notice familiar faces like Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus, and a number of other comedians playing the various figures in and around Cal’s life. It looks to be a nifty little side project for Odenkirk, something to make people laugh while he waits for Breaking Bad to resume filming. “In Mr. Show, Larry Sanders and other cult hit shows I’ve played many a funny sleazeball, I’ve impersonated the great Robert Evans, and it’s all been building to this," he told Variety. "Cal MacKenzie-Goldberg and his come-from-behind underdog gang of sweet losers somehow find a way to succeed, even if they end up getting paid in yams.” Stay tuned for more episodes.
