We always try to find our own way into a conspiracy theory, the classic ones. “There needs to be an asterisk in this day and age because there are lots of things we’d never like to promote being true. “Despite being somewhat misanthropic, Reagan really wants to help humanity, make a difference in the world and bring order to the chaos.”ĭespite her optimism, Reagan faces constant hurdles on the way to her dream promotion including her unhinged, tin foil hat-wearing father (Slater) and irresponsible coworkers.Īlthough the show plays with popular conspiracy theories, its creators were careful to point out that it’s all in fun, leaving often polemical actual theories to the internet. “The people behind it are a bunch of dumbass goofballs like any other office,” Takeuchi described. “Inside Job” unspools in the offices of Cognito Inc., an organization within the shadow government, and follows anti-social tech genius Reagan Ridley (Caplen) who, with her partner Brett Hand (Duke), works to uncover the infinite secrets of the world hidden in the shadows.
