    The Falslev Bros are joined by special guest Cole to provide you with a quick fix for a case of the Mondays. With our external consultant in tow we interview Mike Judge's Office Space (1999) to see how an ensemble cast can strengthen a comedy, the importance of respecting characters, and how relatability and juxtaposition lead to big laughs.  Music by Chan Walrus.
