The Office: E20 White Trash Bushido
Manage episode 357705869 series 3364835
This week, the Remember Shuffle returns to the world of the sitcom to discuss everyone’s favo[u]rite show about a mid-level paper company, The Office. They discuss the show’s unforgettable characters including Michael Scott, the well-intentioned moron with a heart of gold, Dwight, the “white trash bushido” paper salesman, and Andy, the downwardly mobile failson.
En route, they discuss the changing setting of the sitcom from the domestic space to the workplace, the phenomenon of the Bullshit Job and how The Office identified it before it was common knowledge, and how small victories can turn even a boring office into a kind of utopian pastoral arcadia. They also discuss the decline of the show from one critical of meaningless work and office culture to one that embraced finding meaning in the workplace.
Our guest this week, Del Maticic, can be found on Twitter @maticiceronian. He’s the co-editor of a forthcoming book on work called “Working Lives in Ancient Rome,” co-edited with Jordan Rogers.
