Episode 56 - Office Space *Listener's Choice*

  Peter doesn't like his job.  He works as a pencil pusher at a computer company called Initech.  After making a particularly egregious error, he decides that he needs to undergo hypnosis to cure him of his spiritual dyspepsia.  A mishap involving his treatment sets the stage for this classic comedy. Writer/director Mike Judge depicts the bleak rat race so many of us find ourselves caught up in, despite our intelligence and capacity to dream.  Corporate culture is skewered in "Office Space", and yet it all seems perfectly realistic and within the realm of possibility.  One of the best American comedies of the '90's and an all-time high portrait of white collar drudgery, Judge's comedy manages to win over the common man with it's underdog portrayal of average people who deserve better but due to a poor economy, are stuck with a soul-crushing job that demeans them.  Kristy, a frequent contributor to our listener requests, joins the conversation for this episode.
