Jo and Adam discuss Send Help!, Sam Raimi's new satirical horror in which a woman escapes her toxic workplace only to find herself stranded on a desert island with her awful boss. From there, they explore the long history of satirical workplaces, from The Office and The Office to Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, asking why terrible managers have become such enduring comic figures.

The conversation also turns to the satirical response to the resignation of Keir Starmer and the accession of Andy Burnham. Adam also reports back from a Humour conference at Oxford and Jo pitches an idea for a brand-new podcast spin-off.
