The creative brainchild of Bo Burnham, ‘Inside’ offered the true depiction of life for the musical stand-up comedian during the lockdown due to Covid-19. As Burnham could not meet other people or go out himself, all the roles of the movie have been played by him. The movie touches on various notes of the deteriorating mental health of Burnham, and he undertakes the activities to pass the time and his audience interaction.
The movie switches themes from depicting his activities to him addressing his audience, talking straight into the camera. This Netflix special stands out as the entire film is shot on one location, Burnham’s home in Los Angeles, by him. Being a musical stand-up, he performs various songs throughout the special that depict the highlights of Burnham’s lockdown. These musical performances acted as the highlights of the special itself and earned Burnham the top spot on the US Billboard Top Comedy Albums.
