While Jesse Plemons' character Todd Alquist only makes his series debut in the final season of "Breaking Bad," he winds up becoming a major player in the final stretch of the show. Todd works for Walt and Jesse before their relationship goes completely sour, with Plemons proving to be a formidable on-screen force. He would later reprise this role with some chilling flashback sequences in the follow-up film "El Camino." 

Since then, the actor has had a handful of supporting roles in some truly great films like "The Irishman" and "Bridges of Spies." One of Plemons' standout film roles is in "I'm Thinking of Ending Things," a truly bizarre tale that follows his character of Jake, who is in a newly formed relationship with his girlfriend that's already on the rocks. Known for writing and directing works that are as surreal as they are heady, this one is director Charlie Kaufman's most recent film.

Following a grotesque story in which Jake recounts the death of his farm animals at his childhood home, the film periodically and seemingly at random shifts narratives between them and an unassuming janitor at a high school. And if that isn't weird enough, we never really get an idea of what Jake's girlfriend's name is, as it seems to change every few minutes depending on who she's speaking with. If you're a fan of films that break from the typical horror tropes and rely on building a tense atmosphere, "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" is a wholly unique spin on the genre. Just be prepared for an ending as abstract as much of Kaufman's other works, and one that merits re-watching.
