This week we're joined by Emily Heller, Recommendations Editor at Vulture, to talk about Bo Burnham's 2018 debut, Eighth Grade. We talk about tracing his growth as a performer and human from his specials to this film, the ways Anna Meredith's score resemble a John Carpenter film, and being nice to our parents - among other things.

On Top Five this week, we break down our Top Five Non-Linear Narratives.

Follow the show on Twitter @beautspod, and check out what Jack is watching on Letterboxd @ jkradb. Enjoying the show? Buy Jack a coffee. We're also on iTunes, and ratings and reviews are always appreciated - and, of course, subscriptions on whatever platforms you use go a long way.

Our highlighted charity this week is Abortion Access Front, a team of comedians, writers, and producers that uses humor to destigmatize abortion and expose the extremist anti-choice forces working to destroy access to reproductive rights in all 50 states. Support them directly here!

Thanks as always to Ross Kroeber for the show name, Aaron Taylor-Johnson for the show art, and to Podbean for hosting us.

Have a Beaut-iful week, and Happy New Year!
