Michael Cera stars in this unique and darkly comedic episode of JASH Presents. Titled "Gregory Go Boom," the episode follows the path of a wheel-chair bound man named Gregory (played by Cera) as he navigates the small town he calls home. The town is filled with quirky characters, including Gregory's online love interest, played by the talented and hilarious Brett Gelman.

Throughout the episode, we see Gregory's struggles with his daily life, which is further complicated by his lack of mobility. He manages to maintain a sense of humor, however, as he navigates the mundanity and isolation of his day-to-day existence. He spends much of his time online, where he connects with others and attempts to find some sort of connection.

Despite his intelligence and wit, Gregory's life is far from easy. He is frequently bullied and mistreated by others in his town, including his own family members. As the episode progresses, we see Gregory's struggles reach a boiling point, culminating in a shocking climax that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Throughout the episode, Cera shines in his role as Gregory. He brings depth and nuance to the character, expertly capturing the spirit of a man who is simultaneously intelligent, funny, and deeply vulnerable.

The episode is directed by none other than Janicza Bravo, who brings her unique vision and sensibility to the project. Her direction is fluid and assured, perfectly capturing the tone and mood of the story. Her use of vibrant colors and interesting camera angles adds an extra layer of visual interest to the proceedings.

Overall, "Gregory Go Boom" is a captivating and masterfully-crafted episode of JASH Presents.
