From Spotify, this is Dissect, long-form musical analysis broken into short digestible episodes.

This is part two of our seven-part series on Inside, a music comedy special shot and performed by

Bo Burnham over the course of a very unusual year. I'm your host Cole Kishna. Oh, So, you're not creative and you have to go in search of your creative spark again.

Maybe this is catching up with creative friends, experimenting with a new look or trying out a new recipe.

And thanks to the Sims Sims inspiration is just one game and one

spark away. Ready to spark something download the Sims 4 and play for free. Last time on dissect, we examined the opening four minutes of inside, which began with

Bo walking into the same room he walked out of at the end of his last comedy special make happy

symbolizing the end of what became a five-year hiatus from performance.

Bo's return began with the song content, performed in his room in front of a

camera, the stage of the 21st century.

It was here that he subtly acknowledged the circumstances of 2020 and his hiatus from performing.

We then saw a montage of both setting up his lighting and recording equipment establishing the film as a poiomenon, a film in part about the creation of the film itself.

We also saw what will become a recurring shot of Bo's camera and threw a slow zoom into itself by way of an

unseen mirror. We were brought inside the camera's lens until the screen went

completely dark. There's a subtle transition from this black screen to the blackness of Bo's room.

We then hear footsteps as Bo makes his way to the piano in the center of the room and sits down.

He flips on a spotlight that shines on him as if he's performing on an actual stage in front of a live audience.

He then begins singing inside's next song, the subject of our episode today, comedy.

The world is changing.

The planets heaten up.

What the fuck is going on?

Rearranging.
