The most dystopian show on TV is a workplace comedy [Ep #70]

By Jordan Zakarin
Corporate Comedy Central

If you have a job you hate (and in this economy, there's a solid chance you do), we have a new favorite show for you: Comedy Central's pitch-black workplace comedy Corporate. Generally, The Fandom Files talks to people who are obsessed with something or other, but here we speak with Jake Weisman and Matt Ingebretson, the co-creators and stars of the show, who have perfected the art of ennui.

In this new episode of The Fandom Files, Weisman and Ingebretson talk with us all about their show, the drudgery of 9-to-5 jobs, prestige dystopian TV, why improv sucks, and their own secret pleasures and fandoms (spoiler alert: it's proposal videos and animal friendship). Corporate, which focuses on two junior executives at a soul-sucking monolith of a corporation (think Amazon meets Lockheed Martin meets GE), airs on Comedy Central on Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m.

Plus, we take calls about Voltron and discuss the ins and outs of Persona 4. All this and more in this episode of The Fandom Files!
