A man emerging from years of isolation notices bizarre coincidences throughout recent US history and begins to think they explain why his long-term relationship didn't work out. When none of his friends will listen to his rants, he finds an outlet for his conspiracy theories by making a documentary following the trajectory of the United States from Y2K to the pandemic shutdowns. Man Goes on Rant is a wild genre blend of drama, comedy and documentary melding different film formats and styles. The film is an immersive look into the shared experience of the last five years.
