  Bo Burnham: Inside 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 May 2021

  This is the best "comedy special" of all time, purely because it's in a unique place by itself. If you think it's not, it's at least up there with the greats.

Not to mention 'Oujia' is one of the lowest rated films to come out this past month. I felt bad for them at times when…
