“Outside Bones,” a Mini Masterpiece 🦷

Happy Friday! From Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a tiny masterpiece of defamiliarisation and characterisation by writers Tina Fey, Robert Carlock and Azie Mira Dungey, triple-threat acting/singing/dancing brilliance by Tituss Burgess as a very ill Titus Andromedon (with a virtuosa comedic foil moment from Judy Gold), and first-class jingle work by Jeff Richmond (also on the piano, also Fey’s husband)… not to mention the killer cho(m)ps of director Beth McCarthy-Miller and the rest of the crew. Genius takes a village, plus.

Try(dent) not to get it stuck in your head! 🦷
