#I'll always hold inside (2021) very close to my heart because it carried me through tough times

[danithefangirlbunny]

just so y'all know inside (2021) and inside the outtakes (2022) still hits as hard as they did when they came out

#bo burnham captured the zeitgeist of 2020 like nobody else did #he doesn't say the word COVID once #and yet! #I think as the years went on watching them became worse somehow #to me at least #don't get me wrong: I regularly watch them #but bo burnham captured exactly what 2020-23 felt #especially 2020 2021 and 2022 #I don't know #I'll always hold inside (2021) very close to my heart because it carried me through tough times #and then inside the outtakes (2022) came out and it felt like inside (2021) all over again #they work very well together but even better apart #I watched inside (2021) a couple of weeks ago and am watching inside the outtakes (2022) today #they hit hard watched back to back. they hit harder watched with certain distance. and they hit the hardest as we travel further from 2020. #I don't know if I'm using zeitgeist as the true meaning of the expression so forgive me #but inside (2021) and inside the outtakes (2022) are simultaneously different and equal works #I couldn't choose one or the other because they came to me at different times to different needs #I love them very much even if differently #but I love them both #I can open my heart and say that I needed them both #and rewatching is like being hugged by bo burnham #I feel very seen and loved and adored #I love bo burham #I have loved bo burnham for almost a decade now #from all his specials none hit as hard as inside (2021) and inside the outtakes (2022) #bo burnham #inside (2021) #inside the outtakes (2022)
