Join your host Maura McAndrew for another installment of Sunday Scaries, Resonator’s monthly dive into cult cinema.
This month’s offering is the 1999 Mike Judge classic Office Space.
The film follows Peter (Ron Livingston), a low-level worker at Texas software company Initech. After an encounter with a hypnotherapist, Peter takes a new approach to work, becoming a star employee while simultaneously plotting to take down the company. Featuring memorable performances by Jennifer Aniston as chain restaurant waitress Joanna, Gary Cole as detestable boss Lumbergh, and Stephen Root as … Milton.
From the AV Club: “Office Space became its era’s definitive workplace comedy, making a specific, once-overlooked class of white-collar workers feel like their lives were worthy of the silver screen, giving voice and shape that they had once felt alone in noticing… What set Office Space apart then and now is its elevation of the mundane.
Screening starts with production notes and cultural context from Maura at 7:00.
