Why this pairing works
Start with the bright, fast workplace revolt of 9 to 5. Then let The Matrix turn the office cubicle into an existential trapdoor. One attacks the boss; the other attacks reality.
Play them in this order
9 to 5 first. The Matrix after the snack break.
Intermission assignment
Serve bad office coffee and ask everyone which fictional boss they would rather confront.
