Splash Magazines had a short interview with Mike Judge:
Yenis Monterrey.– Do you enjoyed the experience of your film “Office Space” in Paramount?
Mike Judge.– It has been 20 years since it came out. It didn’t do so well when it came out, so it’s really nice to have all of this at the AFS, I can’t believe it, I wouldn’t have even thought. Last night was so nice to interact with audience and experience the enjoyment of the audience, it was very satisfying.
Yenis Monterrey.- Is there any new project programed for you?
Mike Judge.- I have another season of “ Silicon Valley” season 6 and I another show that hasn’t been announced yet.
