Maynard James Keenan has drafted Breaking Bad actor Bob Odenkirk to ask an important question: “What is Puscifer?” To many, the answer is clear: Keenan’s side-project away from Tool and A Perfect Circle; a band that was first publicized in an episode of HBO’s Mr. Show, which starred Odenkirk; and the group behind the recently released What Is... DVD, a hybrid of concert footage and sketch comedy. But to the man also known as Saul Goodman — who appears in a just-released trailer for said DVD — the answer isn’t so obvious. “It’s part of a lady, right?” he asks in the promo, between snippets of live music. “Men have it, too? Is it something you should have checked out?”
