I needed to see this Eighth Grade.  I was prepared to go it alone, but my wife is like, you can’t be a 40 year old man sitting in a theater seeing this solo.  So we went together!

And so I got to relive being an awkward middle school kid all over again, thru a girl (an INCREDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDIBLE Elsie Fisher) who had a 238943782382383 times more of an awkward time during that time than I did!  And today’s kids have it worse!  They have phones and all the BS and loneliness that comes along with the pressures of social media and not being present in the moment!!  OMG – this movie nails it!!  EAT IT LADY BIRD!!  You don’t know nothing Lady Bird.  Eighth Grade knows everything!! Cause Bo knows!! Bo Burnham knows!  Dude was a YouTube star, or so they tell me cause I am old and don’t know anything relevant that happened post-1999.  Whatever Bo did or does, he channeled it perfectly into a debut movie that has me thirsty for more.  BRING US NINTH GRADE!!! And more from this wondrous soundtrack music by Anna Meredith!

Verdictgo: Breast In Show

Eighth makes the Grade currently at a theater near jews and white nationalists

ps – loved the dorky kid (Jake Ryan) and how he put the McDonalds dipping sauces in ROY G BIV order (not pictured here)
