As he plays a dodgy sheriff in Ben Wheatley’s Normal, Odenkirk will be here to answer your inquiries about a remarkable career that has taken him from Wayne’s World to Saturday Night Live and The Bear
Bob Odenkirk has achieved one of the more improbable small-to-big screen transitions in recent years. He was only meant to stick around for four episodes as shady lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad. Instead, creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould liked what they saw and he became a series regular – and, after that, the unlikely centre of Better Call Saul, widely regarded as one of the finest spin-offs ever made.
In 2021, he then popped up as a mild-mannered family man turned bone-crunching action hero in Nobody, a role for which he buffed up for two years. Released during Covid, Nobody was unexpectedly successful, leading to a sequel. Now he’s testing his knack for making deeply questionable characters oddly endearing by playing a dodgy small-town sheriff in Ben Wheatley’s new film, Normal, alongside Henry Winkler as the town mayor.

Verity Nevitt was just 21, a student living away from home for the first time, when she learned she and her twin sister, Lucy, were going to be sued in the high court. Someone knocked on the door of her London house share with a big bundle of papers and asked her to sign for them.
A year earlier, the sisters had reported a man to the police, accusing him of sexually assaulting Verity and then, after she had left the house, raping Lucy. When the case was dropped by police, they decided to name him on social media, in order to warn others. The man responded by suing them for misuse of private information, harassment and eventually defamation.

Er waart een spook door Europa! En het is Marion Koopmans. Nee hoor grapje, het is een ander spook, namelijk het hantavirus. Bekend van een 'verwaarloosbaar kleine kans' op besmetting van mens op mens en tevens bekend van 'ga lekker naar de kinderopvang met je hantavirusinfectie', zoals we ons een paar jaar terug volgens het RIVM ook 'geen zorgen' hoefden te maken over het coronavirus, en voor we het wisten konden we alleen nog maar uit eten met #QRCode en bekpamper (dat hoefde alleen niet bij In de Klaver te Niebert, zie foto). Welnu, die stewardess die 'lichte klachten' had na contact met die hantadode heeft inmiddels NEGATIEF getest. Waar het hantavirus wél positief op test is klimaatverandering: tropischer, meer regen, meer pestbeesten, meer overdracht van het virus tussen de beesten, meer virus richting mensen. Dus omdat ze in India alles in de Ganges flikkeren ligt oma hier op bed met de Argentijnse rattengriep. De klootzakken! En nu horen we Keulemans niet he!
