Hello, I'm Olivia here with Shauna.
And for PCJ Pop this week,
I'm bringing back a true HBO masterpiece, Silicon Valley.
Shauna, have you ever seen it?
No, but it's one of those things.
It's like, you know, been such a,
it's floated through my atmosphere
and so I know I should.
I know I should.
Tell me why, tell me why.
Okay, it is so truly funny.
It is created by Mike Judge.
It has Thomas Middleditch, TJ Miller, Josh Brennan.
And it is truly so incredibly funny.
Also good mentions, Martin Star.
It has Kamal, a non-Johnny in it.
And I wanna say this is like one of his breakout roles.
It's really where he became super famous.
It is truly hilarious.
It came out in 2014.
It really captures this time and zeitgeist
of Silicon Valley, drop out of college, start a startup
and just quintessential tech bro.
It is one of the funniest pieces of poverty.
Ever though, it's just like so quirky.
And really like captures that time of like girl boss,
go get it, you know, this internet startup.
Yeah.
And it really is just so funny the way that it makes fun
of, you know, this culture in San Francisco, Palo Alto,
San Jose.
Do you feel like now that you live in San Francisco,
you're like, yes, yes, totally yes.
Oh my gosh, I think that I, I mean,
I've always worked in tech startups since I graduate college.
There are ton and Phoenix.
I like kind of saw a piece of that in companies,
but oh my god, it is very, very true.
The engineers, the like awkwardness.
I love it.
And like every other lion is hilarious.
TJ Miller is Erlich Bachman in this.
One of the funniest characters of the world.
It's TJ Miller, we don't stand, but you know,
this is his earlier work, obviously,
and it was before everything.
Yeah.
But Kumail Nonjani is fine as hell.
Yeah, he, yeah, very much your type.
It is just such a masterpiece.
It is such a time capsule, but still so timeless.
And so, yeah, I am going to pop Silicon Valley for this week.
You can find it on HBO.
And that's it for your PCJ Pop.
