It’ll be really interesting to see how it’s aged. I haven’t revisited the special in a while, but I still listen to songs from the soundtrack now and then. Mostly it just makes me realize I’m in a profoundly more healthy and spiritually alive state now than I was when I first encountered Inside.
Thanks for revisiting Inside. Like a lot of metamodernity, it’s not able to be pinned down as one thing or another, and often pinballs around across a wide spectrum. There’s some dark fatalism to All Eyes On Me that still haunts me a bit, that I’m still metabolizing.
Good stuff once again, Geoffe! I loved Burnham's show, and your piece has inspired me to revisit it. This is such a good pointer article. Keep going.

So glad to hear this.

I recommend taking a drive, cranking it up and sobbing for 5-6 plays in a row. Very metabolic!
I LOVED INSIDE! Was one of the most exciting and greatest things I’ve ever seen. I watched and listened to it many times and know all the words.
I’m with you! I didn’t use the word “masterpiece” lightly in the title. It truly is incredible.
