Description

Of the 18 movies that made our first two rounds, Office Space was far and away the most abject failure.
Released in the frigid box office month of February and featuring an advertising and marketing campaign that was so bad classes should be taught about it, Office Space went on to become the year's 134th-highest grossing movie, falling short of the box office hauls for beloved, critically-acclaimed classics like Chill Factor and Wing Commander. 
The live-action feature debut of Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge deserved so much better, and it would soon get it. Office Space caught on when Comedy Central began airing it (on heavy rotation) shortly after its release on home video, in August of 1999, and the movie began to develop the audience it always deserved.
It was very funny then. But does it still work now? Or is its satirizing of late-90s office life lost on the audiences of 2022. We pose this question to podcaster, comedian, writer, and all-around spooktacular person Jenn Tisdale, cohost of Too Many Jennifers.

Was 1999 the best year in movie history? We think it might be! John Brooks and Joey Lewandowski will work their way through all the year has to offer, one movie at a time, and we’ll ask special guests to share their memories of this amazing year and the movies that made it unforgettable. Unfortunately, nobody can be told what 1999: The Podcast is… you have to hear it for yourself!
