We’ve previewed and profiled this movie in our ep 88 p2 “More Oscar Contender Trailers” episode. It’s also a film we’ve profiled in our Oscar Race Update (ep 81). So you’ve been thoroughly primed for this massive review, and if you have yet to see this film, we give you your money’s worth with this non-spoiler section. The Cast & Crew section has fun with the viral video stardom of Bo Burnham, and we wax poetic on his stand-up comedy career. Then it’s a Bo Burnham quote fest in Also Mike’s production profile. Then the movie’s specs showcase some huge critics scores, and we break down the potential for an Oscars campaign by A24. The non-spoiler review bumps up our usual Oscar Lens throughout our review of the production values and performances. We both see some serious potential for this film to gain momentum with the Academy, and we do make some bold predictions. Then we have way too much fun asking a question brought to us by the Casual Cinecast, where we try to pinpoint what other film(s) this movie reminds us of. The spoiler music plays, and we break down the plot in all its awkward glory. We cannot ignore the dramatic weight of this substantive script as we try to get you to jump onto this bandwagon with us. It’s only August, but we’re getting legitimate Oscars contenders. Go back and listen to our other OSPs including Black Panther, A Quiet Place, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Hereditary, The Incredibles 2, Sorry to Bother You, and Mission: Impossible - Fallout.
