Could this really have been filmed before Inside made its huge impact? Maybe it was.
(The original special was not, after all, entirely pure in the claims it made for itself.) One funny skit finds the creative team of Inside (eight different Bo Burnhams) interviewed by, er, Bo Burnham about the success of the special. And yet, there are moments when one can’t help but doubt the claim that all this material was generated between March 2020 and May 2021. It’s a measure of the quality of Inside 1.0 that this stuff could end up on the cutting-room floor. Healing the world with comedy … Bo Burnham’s 2021 special, Inside.
