If you ever need a Valentines Day card, you better call Saul.
Bob Odenkirk, also known as Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, has finally released his new movieGirlfriends Day, which is now available on Netflix. Odenkirk says the film has been in the works for around 15 years.
The movie was waiting around for Netflix to be invented, Odenkirk told The Huffington Post. It needs a place like Netflix to exist to connect people up who like Mr. Show,who like Arrested Development, who like Chinatown.
At the heart of the quirky comedy about a down-on-his-luck romance card writer is a mystery along the lines of Whats in the brief case? in Pulp Fiction.
In the movie, theres a competition to see who can write the best card for a new Valentines-like holiday called Girlfriends Day. (Spoiler alert!) A card is written, but we may never know what it actually says.
Odenkirk told HuffPost he wrote the card himself, but he explains why they kept it a secret.
We thought about Lost in Translation, of course, and that great moment where you dont know what Bill Murray says to [Scarlett Johansson] although I think someone on the internet figured that out and how well that works, said Odenkirk.
As the actor points out, tons of internet sleuths have broken down the Lost in Translation footage and have come up with possible phrases Murray said. But unlikeLost in Translation, theres no easy way to decipher whats on the card.
Odenkirk revealed that he actually wrote a couple different Girlfriends Day cards, but they remain with directorMichael Paul Stephenson.
Even if youre not into the mystery, Girlfriends Day has enough to keep you occupied.
Theres a heart to it, Odenkirk added. Its got a bitterness all throughout for the men who are bitter and dont feel feelings of love anymore, and its got a sweetness for the ladies who dont want to hear that shit.
Theres also a murder and a guy named Shitfoot, who Odenkirk describes as sort of a spirit guide for his character, greeting card writer Ray once known as the Bill Shakespeare of romance cards.
[Shitfoot] is there as a place for Ray to check in on himself, said the actor.
So if you are trying to watch the context of the movie to guess what Odenkirk wrote on the card, just look to Shitfoot. Hell be your guide.
Girlfriends Day is now on Netflix.
