James is obsessed with the series Brigsby Bear, an educational children’s show featuring a bear. James has recorded every episode from the 80s on VHS and has decorated his room accordingly. All these would have been normal, if James wasn’t 25 years old and secluded in a bunker for his whole life. However, where the rules of confinement end, the power of creativity takes over. Michel Gondry’s universe meets the premise of Kynodontas in an unconventional film made by middle-school friends (including SNL’s Kyle Mooney).
