Welcome to Mockumonthary! For the whole month of May, MSPC is side-stepping The Office to break down other iconic mockumentary format TV shows. Up first, we are covering Parks and Recreation, the beloved cousin of The Office. Given it's shared DNA through showrunners Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, it's simply the natural place for us to start. We discuss first impressions we had upon its debut in 2009, how it's similar yet completely different from The Office, Michael Scott vs. Leslie Knope, favorite characters and moments, and so much more! Then we head to the conference room to react to the casting announcements regarding the new show set in the Office universe. NOTE: Our 250th live episode is coming up this Sunday May 5th!

But it turns out that Jim is also his own worst enemy. And the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So, Jim is actually my friend.

This week we're joined by dear friend of the pod Alison Wisneski of Lady Justice Brewing to hit the bars with Dunder Mifflin crew! Going out for drinks with co-workers is such a universal experience, and the show is often at its best when reflecting these situations.

"I never touch another juggler's instruments." This week, with Edwin still overseas, Sean and Alex get together to discuss Season 7's The Inner Circle.
