The film follows "Ben Manalowitz," created and portrayed by B J Novak, who departs from his New York residence after receiving a phone call, journeying to an isolated desert town to investigate the disappearance of someone he previously had a relationship with. He quickly recognizes the potential for a substantial podcast project and begins searching for her killer – prompted by her brother "Ty" (Boyd Holbrook) – while also intending to examine the lifestyle of the community, which stands in stark contrast to his familiar urban existence and proves valuable content for his producer, "Eloise" (Issa Rae). The narrative unfolds along fairly conventional lines, but there’s a noticeable amount of humor throughout, particularly evident in the opening conversation between the characters that doesn't portray either one favorably. Later on, occasional amusing appearances by Ashton Kutcher contribute to the film’s progression, evoking elements of film noir. The unusual nature of the townspeople’s everyday lives – largely revolving around a burger joint; their distinct personalities and an appropriately fitting score composed by Finneas O'Connell all work together to create a reasonably swift and fairly absorbing mystery that held my attention more than I anticipated. Novak isn't particularly convincing as an actor, but the script—which ultimately provides a chance to assess his character’s shortcomings alongside everyone else; the unfolding events and the general sense of playfulness—carry much of the weight, enabling enjoyment of the premise without needing to be impressed by every performance. I genuinely appreciated the conclusion as well.
