The gonzo-style satire follows a social media obsessed rideshare driver played by Joe Keery who, in an attempt to become a viral trash-streamer, livestreams himself murdering passengers.
Kurt finds work as a driver for a rideshare app called Spree, then fits out his car with cameras and begins a new Livestream titled "The Lesson", where he instructs viewers on how to become famous on social media.
While waiting for Kurt to get her some food from the truck, uNo discovers Bobby's gun and poses with it on a Livestream before drinking some of the poisoned water and passing out.
Jessie begins her show, by performing a bit about her encounter with Kurt and how disgusted she is by people's desperation for social media fame before concluding her set by destroying her phone on stage, followed by a mic drop.
While Jessie tells the livestream comment that she needs help and tries to convince them this is real, Kris arrives as well and is shocked to find the house destroyed with Kurt's mother dead on the floor.
She's forced to finish the job by smashing his head with his phone while a flashback to a few minutes earlier shows Kurt feeling like a champion because he had 50000 people watching.
Jessie ends up more famous than ever as a multi-media queen, and though Kurt is despised by all reporters, he is seen as a hero by some of the scummier parts of the net like 4chan and Reddit.
As these forums fill with adoration for Kurt, one user reveals they're making a real-time shootout taxi app share movie about him called Spree.
[4] Keery worked closely with Kotlyarenko to understand his character, and the pair filmed in-character social media posts such as unboxing videos, shopping trips and vape reviews.
The website's critics consensus reads: "Joe Keery's magnetic screen presence can't disguise Spree's shallow critique of social media culture -- although that lack of depth may be precisely the point.
"[11] Dan Jackson of Thrillist also praised Keery's performance, writing: "One of the best parts of Keery's performance is the way he plays the strange combination of naive earnestness and calculated cynicism that drives a person like Kurt to act in such a desperate manner, begging for followers and turning every awkward interaction into an opportunity to hawk his cringe-inducing brand.
"[12] Jessica Kiang of Variety gave the film a negative review, saying: "If you are in need of more reminders of the most extreme of the potential evils of internet interaction than you get every time you fire up an app, by all means, smash the like button on Spree.
