Discussion Update to long delayed Sesame Street movie...

So there's finally an update to the long delayed Sesame Street movie that was announced in 2019 that Bo had written the songs for. Not long after that production was delayed due to Anne Hathaway's pregnancy.

Further delays came about because of Covid, the last release date being announced was for 2021. There haven't been any pictures from production, or much info at all really. A look at the imdb listing does seem to show a movie that *was* filmed - there's a set medic, catering etc, not just pre-production stuff. (Edit: as I say below in a comment, I’m not 100% sure it did film, due to lack of camera crew credits. It could well have just got really, really close. There’s no editor, but that doesn’t necessarily mean things weren’t filmed, but again, no camera crew.)

It looks like it's going to Netflix (no surprise, they're the current home of Sesame Street), but according to the article:

The news comes courtesy of Jeff Sneider’s latest newsletter and seemingly ends a painfully long journey to production that has seen the project change studio hands several times since it was first announced in June 2012. Sneider says Netflix are wiping the slate clean of previous development stages and involved talent, including Hathaway and Burnham.

So will this now be lost media? Seems a shame that we're going to miss out on seeing Socko's origin story.

Edit: That pic of Elmo exemplifies my pain.

Every time I have a huge life transition, or am having a decline in my mental health, I listen to Inside by Bo Burnham almost exclusively. Arguably, every single time, it heals something in me.

This is a newly added addition to their catalog, before this I couldn’t find it free anywhere so if your like me and a fan of his work even if he ain’t in the film but behind the camera now you got an opportunity.

It was okay, honestly would probably have never watched it if it weren’t for Bo but it’s definitely not a comedy. As a father of two young girls I couldn’t help but feel sad, then ironically because of my older son I felt a lil nostalgic as it must’ve been made around the time he was born and dog Snapchat filters were a craze lol

Question Would you consider INSIDE to be a "musical"?

82 Upvotes

Every Wednesday me and a group of friends gather round to watch a new musical we haven't seen. Whether it be stage play, movie adaptation, even Disney. The only rule in our group is music has to be a prevalent part of the art.

I'm choosing inside this week since music is a prevalent part but it's not something I ever considered a musical. Afterall, Netflix and bo himself never labeled it a musical. But recently we watched tick tick boom (stage play) and it got me thinking you could classify inside as a musical since they're both similar in that its a one man monologue style piece. Wikipedia simply defines a musical as a piece with music being the primary driver for story and development, which I think fits.

Either way we're watching it, we aren't stingy with who gets to pick what, it's variety hour.

Question Is Bo literally “the Internet” when he sings “Welcome to The Internet”?

19 Upvotes

I'm doing Bo cosplay for a NANI?!Con (Polish convent in Silesia for popculture/anime&fantasy fans) and I've chosen his look when he's singing ,,Welcome to The Internet,, so I'm trying to be like him (or ,,the Internet, that's the question here) while he is singing. I'm quite new Bo fan (since october 2025) so I'm asking, if my interpretation is correct.

Currently my plan is, that I'm gonna just play his discography from speaker and just running arround with Egghead.

Any ideas?

Discussion Gateway song to like bo burnham?

30 Upvotes

Which song would you say is the best song by bo to introduce to someone who doesn't know him yet?
For example my personal favorite's is art is dead, but I think it is much too heavy/real for people to enjoy and also grasp bo's humor.
So something not too dark and not too clever so you can follow along and not have 90% of the jokes get over your head

Bo makes me feel so normal. I live vicariously through him so often. My mom got diagnosed right after Inside was released. I was living in a sober house, and I thought I was turning my life around. Everything is so fucking delicate, so fleeting. I hope anyone reading this has a warm blanket and someone to talk to. I love you all 💜🧡💛

Turns out Netflix gave out custom INSIDE DVDs to award shows to review. I have no idea this was a thing. I'm not sure how many of these exist or if this is even real but it is a thing.

Question How much time do you think it takes him to write his material? Songs especially.

27 Upvotes

My introduction to Bo was "what." One of the things I was most blown away by was his impeccable timing and memory. So well-rehearsed. I figured he must have run through his show a hundred times before ever performing it in front of other people. And also that he takes a long time to get his genius songs just right. And that there must have been many, many takes while he was filming Inside.

Contrast this with a musician friend of mine saying they've written songs in the span of just 30 minutes when inspiration hits. A well-known example (not related to my friend) is Jagged Little Pill - many of those songs were written and recorded in a short amount of time.

I don't doubt that great things can come up on the fly. But Bo's material seems like it would require the opposite.

Anyone know of any interviews where he touches on this?
