Before there was Inside... before there was Eighth Grade... there was...

Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous.

Easily Bo Burnham's most underrated work, this one-season series tells the story of Zach Stone, a pre-celebrity who uses his college savings to instead make a documentary about his rise to fame. It aired on MTV in 2013 and was quickly canceled, but not before becoming perhaps my favorite thing Bo has ever made.

It's possible you only just heard about this show over the last few weeks because it's been making the rounds on social media in the wake of Bo's latest special's massive success. It's more likely you still haven't heard about it. It is criminally under watched and it feels like it may have a second life now that folks are finding out about it, so consider this our attempt to give it an extra push toward the notoriety it deserves.

I am joined by one of the other biggest Bo fans I know, Mr. Miles Bon!

Sincerely hope you love this series as much as we do!!! ❤️

First off I was so surprised at the Swell Entertainment mention, I'm also a Patreon sub to her and would LOVE to see her on an episode of PMI when it's safe to do so I wanna hear her commentary on a movie so bad. Second, I saw an episode or two of this show on MTV back in 2013 and liked them but didn't find what. until a few years later and at the time didn't realize Bo was Zach Stone. Thanks for doing the commentary and giving me a reason to finally go back and watch the whole show, it's absolutely phenomenal, funny yet deep and emotional. Would love to see Bo make more shows / movies in the future, especially after Inside.
