Inside
A one-man extravaganza
of music and comedy
from the living room of
comedian Bo Burnham:
unhinged, frenzied,
claustrophobic, with
skits on “white woman’s
Instagram” and ditties
about life on the internet
(“Could I interest you
in everything all of thetime?”). Like being stuck
in your own head, if your
head was a disco ball. TSFILMS OF 2021Watch now at: Netflix
