This article contains spoilers for Better Call Saul season 6.
There are cons and then there are long cons.
Ever since Jimmy McGill a.k.a. Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) and Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) resolved to frame their rival Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian) for “something unforgivable” in the Better Call Saul season 5 finale, fans have eagerly awaited the arrival of that plan. As it turns out, however, revenge is a dish best served slowly and deliberately.
Throughout the first six episodes of the show’s sixth and final season, Jimmy and Kim have laid the groundwork for something major to happen to Howard. In the season’s first few episodes, the married couple successfully got Howard’s business partner Cliff Main (Ed Begley Jr.) to suspect that the hotshot lawyer may be abusing cocaine. But that’s just a soupçon of what’s really to come. In “Axe and Grind,...

Ah! There’s the cork. The tour through Chez Goodman that began Season 6 rounded out with a lingering shot of a wayward Zafiro Añejo bottle topper, tantalizingly vague about how that hunk of metal tied into the fates of Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) and Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn). In “Axe and Grind,” we get a tiny hint about whether that cork was one already kept in triumph or one kept as a reminder of a massive regret. While Jimmy’s purchase of celebratory tequila is undoubtedly premature, it is a nice full-circle moment as we head toward next week’s midseason finale. Kim and Jimmy aren’t the only ones who’ve been working to lay the groundwork for a big day.

Stand-up comedian Bill Burr isn’t a fan of cancel culture, and he’s made that known before, most recently during his Saturday Night Live monologue in October.
On a recent episode of his The Bill Bert Podcast podcast with Bert Kreischer (watch it above), the subject of his Mandalorian co-star Gina Carano was brought up, and how she was fired by Disney over her social media statements comparing being conservative in Hollywood to being Jewish in Nazi Germany. On the Disney+ series, Burr plays a Migs Mayfield, a rogue bounty hunter.
“She was an absolute sweetheart. Super nice f*cking person. And you know, whatever, somehow someone will take this video and f*cking make me say something else and try to get rid of my bald action figure!” the Massachusetts native defended, referring to how Hasbro also canceled Carano’s Cara Dune action figure. The toymaker hasn’t made any Mayfield figures yet.

A Kickstarter was launched for the Hollywood Horror Museum which will preserve the history of the genre we all love so dearly. Also in this round-up: details on the Goosebumps screening at Mile High Horror Film Festival, horror survival game Romero's Aftermath, and distribution details for Crabs!
Hollywood Horror Museum: Press Release: "The Nsf just announced the launch of their Kickstarter for the Hollywood Horror Museum.

Austin - This is a story about finger-banging to Kid Rock and marijuana gummi candies. Or, rather, it's a game about it. SXSW and St. Patrick's Day -- which both landed this week -- are in and of themselves drinking prompts, and a classic round of Two Truths And A Lie is how I found my way into an interview with comedians Ari Shaffir and Big Jay Oakerson. Both were on hand for a night of Comedy Central stardom in Austin. Shaffir hosted a live version of his popular web series-turned-tv show "This Is Not Happening," which is just finishing its first season run this week. “What’s Your F@!?#ng Deal” boasted Oakerson's miracle crowd work, along with features from Nate Bargatze, Joe DeRosa, Todd Glass and Liza Treyger. Put them together for telling facts and lies? A lot of naked truths. Watch our video above and play along.

Eight months after Denis Leary and Jim Serpico's New York-based film and TV production company Apostle launched a management division with the hire of veteran New York-based comedy representative Conan Smith, Apostle Management is opening a West Coast office in Los Angeles with the appointment of lit manager George Heller from Principato-Young. Apostle Management was created to work with writer/director/stand-up comedians out of New York.
