In this special, patron-exclusive bonus episode, Tracie brings her deep thoughts about Mike Judge’s 1999 film, Office Space. There’s a reason this film about bullshit work has remained so beloved for a quarter century. Judge accurately reflects–and lampoons–a lot about what it feels like to work to live. There’s also quite a bit about 1990s culture that this film reflects without lampooning it at all, including casual sexism, casual racism, and, once Tracie and Emily recognized Milton as neurodivergent, casual ableism. Still, with a great soundtrack and that iconic and satisfying destruction-of-the-copy-machine scene, Office Space remains deeply entertaining–if we can hold it as documenting 90s culture, rather than a sort of role model.
