Office Space: The Hilarious Workplace Comedy That's Still Painfully Relatable Today | Movie Review

In this episode of "Six of One and Bill of the Other", hosts The Mercurial Number Six and Bill dive into the 1999 comedy classic Office Space. Bill, a longtime fan of the movie, introduces Six to the film for the first time. They discuss the hilarious and biting satire of office life, covering everything from traffic jams and malfunctioning printers to soulless corporate policies and consultants brought in to downsize.
The hosts analyze memorable characters like the insufferable boss Bill Lumbergh, disgruntled employee Peter Gibbons, and eccentric Milton with his cherished red Stapler. They laugh about classic scenes and quotes while also examining the very real frustrations the comedy exposes about day-to-day office drudgery and loss of dignity.
Six and Bill debate whether the film sticks the landing in the second half as the plot comes to a head, but agree that the stellar cast and pitch-perfect lampooning of white-collar work make Office Space an endlessly re-watchable gem with insights that still resonate over 20 years later. Join the hosts for a fun and thoughtful look back at this iconic workplace comedy.
