Instead of a live performance, he's recorded himself in isolation over the course of a year. The result, a special titled "Inside," shows all of Burnham's brilliant instincts of parody and meta-commentary on the role of white, male entertainers in the world and of poisons found in internet culture - that digital space that gave him a career and fostered a damaging anxiety disorder that led him to quit performing live comedy after 2015.īut now Burnham is back.

The parts with Steve-O are the best, aside from the ending.
Anyone saying this movie is really incredibly bad has been REALLY spoiled by hollywood, though.
The best part about this movie is actually the ending, but I won't spoil it. The director did a good job on this film, actually, in my opinion - it doesn't seem overly cheap and actually has a couple good special effects. This movie isn't anything new, but does meet my criteria for a not-bad-pothead-film (it teaches something, has a few funny jokes, the acting is actually believable, has hot girls, etc.).
That being said, it's actually fairly entertaining to watch, especially if you've ran out of good content like me (HBO and all the premium channels literally won't have even one OK movie I haven't seen, unless I missed something years ago before content was so readily available, which does happen from time to time). It is a *little* on the cheap side, and isn't that funny at some points. When you've seen a lot of bad content, you realize this isn't it. First, if you don't like Pauly Shore, you may not like this movie.
