In the finale of our The Office series and of our regular season, we look at the show's ties to popular media that came both before and after.
Erin did a deep dive into the history of the mockumentary, and you won't believe what the first one was!
We also discuss some well-known mockumentary films, like This is Spinal Tap and Best in Show, and works that use mockumentary elements, such as When Harry Met Sally and Arrested Development.
Then we explore the stylistic impact of The Office on subsequent American comedy, touching on shows like Parks and Recreation, Superstore, Abbott Elementary, and, somehow, Game of Thrones.
This episode also contains our final Finer Things Club meeting discussing Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, plus what we are currently watching/reading/listening to. For Rhonda, it was lots of Hunger Games.
Come back in May for a bonus episode and a couple rereleases of our Summer Theatre Program from 2021!
