As far as I know it’s only legally available on Netflix so I don’t have a link, but if you have access to it I highly recommend it. I’m rewatching it right now because I’m on a break from job hunting and, though I try to get outside at least once a day, I frequently fail at that goal because there’s not a lot of extrinsic reason to go outside. It’s not the same as the pandemic but it definitely has parallels and a lot of “Inside” feels relevant right now.
He’s an engaging performer. Great writing and delivery, good physical comedy and performances, and I think he’s a really interesting visual designer. I love the lighting and editing of Inside as much as I like the writing and performance.
What do you think of Inside? of Bo? I know some of his earlier stuff is… rough. I think he had a bad case of “becoming famous as a child” but I think he matured gracefully as an artist.
Side casual conversation: is there an active comm for standup comedy / whatever kind of comedy Inside is? I guess it’s internet comedy but I don’t think that’s a standard genre.
That line doesn’t hit me quite as hard because I’m an “Oregon Trail” millennial: my first computer ran DOS (which means I was definitely old enough to read, because I had to be to use it) and I didn’t get the Internet (AOL, LOL) until I was a preteen. Luckily for me, I matured at the same rate as mature content proliferated, so I was never really exposed to anything I wasn’t equipped to handle.
(My computer illiterate parents had absolutely no clue what I had access to and got damn lucky I didn’t have a personality inclined to go seek weird shit out, because it could’ve easily gone the other way.)
My own kids, of course, get Linux PCs, not tablets, and don’t get unsupervised access to the Internet at all.
But yeah, for a lot of people outside of my very narrow age range and tech-exposure circumstances, it’s been an absolute disaster.
Thats exactly how my childhood experience was as well
