Werking 9 to 5 (with Louis Virtel)

HBO Max Movie Club

Satire-comedy, “9 to 5,” stars the iconic trio, Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda), Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin), and Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton), as exhausted secretaries navigating their toxic workplace. While under the heavy thumb of their sexist boss, they find their wildest revenge fantasies coming true, while of course, hilarity ensues. To recall the classic, Matt is joined by writer and friend of the show, Louis Virtel, to reflect on Jane Fonda’s imprint on the film, and gush over favorite scenes and BTS gems. Establishing Dolly as more than a country singer and entertainer, but truly as a star, “9 to 5” started life-long friendships for the leading ladies and cemented a home for acrylics in the workplace. Never forgetting the song of the same name, “9 to 5” was a Billboard Hit and Grammy winner, and simultaneously immortalized the legacy of the film.

Watch on HBO via HBO Max: “9 to 5” until March 31, 2023
