I’ve seen several video essays about The Room and I get a lot of the references. I know the plot. But I can’t omagine slogging through it from start to finish.
I want to watch Disaster Artist, but friends tell me I won’t get the full experience.
Thoughts?

No, seeing
The Room beforehand is not mandatory by any means, but I do think I enjoyed watching
Disaster Artist more having seen it. I literally watched them back to back in an afternoon, and enjoyed it that way.
There are a few low-key references and easter eggs in the
Disaster Artist that might not be fully appreciated w/o viewing
The Room, like a light-hearted "let's play football" when they first start hanging out.
And like he said above me,
The Room was really not a slog at all. There is enough absurdity in it all to really make it entertaining. And you seem to like to analyze the creative aspects of how certain things come to be.
The Room is analytical viewing at it's finest, ha.
