Netflix Releases Trailer for Breaking Bad Movie El Camino
 

Jesse Pinkman is back. And so is Walter White? In the new trailer for Netflix’s Breaking Bad movie El Camino, we get a look at what Pinkman’s life is like following the traumatic events of the show’s final episode. Pinkman is on the run, reconnecting with a few old friends, but, most importantly, Pinkman meets with a shadowy figure that sure sounds like Walter White. Of course, Bryan Cranston’s character is presumed to be dead, but the old rule goes: If you don’t definitively see a character die on camera, they probably aren’t dead. So maybe, just maybe, White’s reign of terror isn’t done yet.

Hold Up, Did Splenda Just Make One of the Year's Funniest Ads?
 

One of the funniest ads we've seen in a while isn't for candy bars or fast food or insurance, and it's not from W+K, BBDO or Goodby Silverstein. It's for Splenda, and it's from an agency in Chattanooga.
