LISTEN NOW: Adam McKay On “Office Space”

Here’s a great listen for your weekend: On this week’s episode of the Movies vs. Capitalism podcast, Rivka and Frank sit down with their first Academy Award-winning writer and director, Adam McKay. Adam joins the hosts to discuss the movie Office Space, Mike Judge’s comedic meditation on the modern office.

The group breaks down the film’s stark portrayal of worker alienation, the brutality of corporate consultants, and how this movie has become even more relevant almost 25 years after its release.

Rivka and Frank also dig into this past weekend’s Academy Awards ceremony, the historic win for Everything Everywhere All At Once, and the contradictions of the “follow your dream” acceptance speech.

A rough transcript of the episode is available here.
