In this episode of our ongoing Mike Nichols Marathon, we are touching base with our man as he's on a career rebound with his featherlight-yet-nuanced rom-com Working Girl. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Nichols at the tail end of the 1980s, how it fits in the landscape of escapist comedy and how it subverts the 80s yuppie excess with its cutting commentary on class, workplace culture and feminism. We also talk about finding value in re-enacting Cinderella, the indomitable hair of Joan Cusack and the ins and outs of vacuuming in the nude.
