Episode 24: Inside/Vice Principals

Episode 24 of What’s Your Damage?  returns to the COVID Pandemic as AJ and AJ reflect on the isolation, uncertainty, and strange rhythms of the pandemic years. "A" talks about feeling cut off from her artistic community while desperately trying to stay connected through the internet, and how Bo Burnham’s Inside — widely acclaimed and award-winning — perfectly captured that moment in time: the fear, loneliness, and absurdity of lockdown. Through the special, Bo Burnham perfectly holds a mirror back to society, showing us the truth about ourselves — the good, bad, and ugly."J" reflects on how fortunate she was to have job security and no children to care for during lockdown, allowing her to spend an unexpectedly idyllic stretch of time with her husband. Together, they dove deep into comfort viewing, including Vice Principals, which sparked a full appreciation for the wonderfully chaotic world of Danny McBride’s entire catalog.
