Birthed from a spark of insanity, it's amazing that Bo Burnham's "Inside" was able to connect with so many people. Crazier still that he managed to assemble an even more out there version and convinced us to watch him go through it all over again.
It wastes no time pointing out how absurd it is to have behind the scenes footage when the cast and crew are only one man. It takes the opportunity to bring things in an even stranger and more meta direction. Like the kaleidoscope of bad takes, or the time he gets distracted and looks at his phone, forgetting to make the very media you are in the process of consuming.
It still includes a surprising amount of A grade material that didn't make the cut the first time around, and some of the more fleshed out moments rank among his best bits. He just has such a unique talent for digesting pop culture and spewing it back at you. It began to dawn on me that this probably won't age particularly well as it's very reflective of the times. However, a lot of comedy is made for the moment, and it's kind of refreshing to realize how far in the rear-view mirror the lock-down is starting to seem.
