  Bo Burnham: Inside 2021

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 22 Jul 2021

  First time back to the theatre since, hmm, maybe Knives Out in December 2019?

  After having the songs of Inside in my head for a few weeks and listening to breakdowns and takedowns of the special, it was nice to see the film again in such a larger-than-life way. 

  It really is something. Definitely my favourite piece of pandemic art, visually and musically. 

  Here is a general explainer from MetaFilter.

  And here is a YouTube playlist if you are looking for an intro into Bo Burnham.
