Is this movie a documentary? Maybe a horror film? Welcome back to Nerdette Recaps with Peter Sagal! Itâs the podcast where we rewatch movies from 1999 and dissect them like the intense nerds we are.
Today, itâs all about Office Space, a workplace comedy from Mike Judge that has firmly ⊠(âI believe you have my staplerâ) ... wedged itself ⊠(âHello Peter. Whatâs happening.â) ⊠into the cultural lexicon ⊠(âSomebodyâs got a case of the Mondays!â).
The film stars Ron Livingston as a corporate drone who, thanks to a surprise hypnotherapy accident, becomes gifted with the sudden ability to not give a damn. It also features Jennifer Aniston, Gary Cole, Ajay Naidu and David Herman.
Listen as Peter, Tricia and Greta revisit the film, revisit what it was like going into an office building and play some patriarchy jingles modified for William Shakespeare.
