Out of Touch
I appreciate this podcast, but after recently listening to the hosts analysis of Office Space I had to play it for several friends.I don’t thinkI’ve ever heard a more out of touch understanding of white collar versus blue collar work. Clearly you do not understand where Mike Judge comes from or why this movie is so popular amongst regular people like myself. Exhibit A: The hosts claim that Peter makes significantly more money than his neighbor, simply because he is a construction worker. This might be true in New York City for a computer programmer in the late 90s, but even in the film theater and his neighbor live in the exact same apartment complex. How is that not landing with the hosts? God I don’t even know where to start. I know my point is probably going to fail in the short review, but I will try to summit up. These hosts are clearly out of touch with the working class.
