147. 9 to 5
Description
Today on episode #147 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we made Marvin watch 9 to 5 (1980) for the first time, the workplace comedy that was “woke before woke was cool.” With Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin leading the charge, the film blends sharp humor with biting social satire, and we dig into why it still resonates decades later.
We also talk about Wellington Paranormal as a hidden gem in comedy, the debate around Andor at the Emmys, Netflix considering a buyout of Warner Bros. and Jimmy Kimmel's controversial removal from television.
