The film hits hardest when it satirizes the influencer economy. Sasheer Zamata plays Jessie Adams, a successful stand-up comedian who serves as Kurt’s foil. While Jessie has the "fame" Kurt craves, she is equally exhausted by the performance required to maintain it. The movie asks a biting question: In a world where "if it isn't filmed, it didn't happen," where does the performance end and the person begin? He portrays Kurt with a terrifying "nice guy"

Spree is a cautionary tale that suggests the only thing more dangerous than a killer is a killer who needs you to "hit the bell and subscribe."
