The Michael Scott Podcast Company - An Office Podcast

Get in the skiff, museum space pod, or 737–this week we're talking about The Last of Us and The Rehearsal! It's an HBO double feature where we cover two different season 2s with high production costs and unique depictions of humanity.  We start by highlighting our favorite and then less favorite parts of The Last of Us (7:05) before diving into what the future could hold for season 3 and beyond in the verdant green hellscape that is this version of Seattle.  And then we pivot to The Rehearsal (39:53), Nathan Fielder's truly one-of-a-kind production that looks at both human nature and aviation safety. We discuss the whole season (all well as we can), covering all of the aviation singing contests, cloned dogs, and Evanescence songs along the way.

It wasn't your choice. Yet you spend more time with them than you do friends or family.But probably all you've got in common is that you walk on the same bit of carpet for eight hours a day. And so, obviously, when someone comes in who you have a connection with…Yeah. Dawn was a ray of sunshine in my life and it meant a lot. But if I'm really being honest, I never thought it would have a happy ending. I don't know what a happy ending is.
