Welcome back to our podcast What’s the Obsession With…? Hosts Adri and Brie take a deep dive into what makes us (you know…humans) get fixated on everything from Star Wars to ghosts. With some research, personal stories, and wildly speculative theories on all the topics people have been obsessed with since the dawn of civilization. In this episode, we discuss Bo Burnham’s latest (Emmy Award-winning) Netflix special, Inside.
“…Bo Burnham’s Inside?”
In this episode, Adri and Brie try to get to the bottom of WHY everyone has lost their collective minds about Inside. Is it just because it’s really good? Why are we emotionally invested in him as a person (cough parasocial relationships cough)? And why can’t we get these freaking songs out of our heads?
We dive into the Bo Burnham Expanded Universe to discuss the idea of Schrödinger’s Mental Breakdown, some spicy Bo and Hozier parallels, the artistic cicada lifestyle, “Bo Burnham coming out of the well to shame mankind,” and have a good ole authenticity-in-art debate.
