Off-kilter, unhinged, and painfully hilarious — HBO’s The Chair Company is everything we hoped it would be. In Episode 1, “Life Goes By Too F**king Fast, It Really Does,” we meet Ron Trosper, a fragile project manager whose life starts to spiral after a chair collapses mid-presentation. But what starts as slapstick embarrassment quickly turns into a full-blown corporate thriller — or maybe just a mental breakdown in real-time.Brandon & Chanel dive into:Ron’s anxiety-riddled descent from mall project lead to potential whistleblowerThe weirdly intense investigation into chair manufacturer TeccaA brutal necklace-ripping HR incidentAccidental upskirting, hiding in offices, and a wheelbarrow subplot for the agesThe show’s surprisingly sharp satire of masculinity, stress culture, and internalized shameIs there a conspiracy? Or is Ron just unwell? Either way, The Chair Company blends Tim Robinson’s sketch-comedy energy with serialized storytelling and Enemy of the State visual cues. It's off the rails in the best way — and Brandon & Chanel are here for every awkward, chaotic, HR-violating moment.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCylyV4QUrDQWJOFyb?si=4df72d17cc5d4fae🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-was-watching-podcast/id1640612856📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatching?sub_confirmation=1
