Bo Burnham: Inside - Zero One Why

Before Wide Flank, there was a podcast called Zero One Why. It was a show where Teddy, Danny and Aleah reviewed movies and gave them a One (watch it) or a Zero (don’t watch it) and talked about why. We reunited to review and react to Bo Burnham’s Netflix special “Inside”. We had an amazing time recording together again and did our best to add some unique takes on the widely lauded and over-reviewed comedy special.

Zero One Why is making a return on the Wide Flank channel. Expect to see one of these coming out a month! If you love movies and TV, this is a great series for you. If not, we’ll see you for the next Gameclub!
