The Evolving American Dream: Discontent and Expectations

This week Paul and Amy are breaking out their staplers and adding cover letters to their TPS reports. That’s right, they’re breaking down the 1999 dark comedy Office Space, starring Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston. Paul and Amy discuss the similarities between Office Space and The Matrix, the origins of Milton, and Amy's Lumbergh Sex Theory. Next week we'll be discussing The Jerk. You can rent Office Space on your platform of choice or stream it on on Hulu but don't forget to check your local library or apps like Hoopla and Kanopy!
