    Random, I know, but there’s actually a weirdly perfect jab at this in the new Fincher movie “The Killer.”

    One of the protagonist’s sniper nest positions is literally in an old “WeWork” office that has basically become abandoned / derelict. Fincher made sure to have the logo visible on a door in an establishing shot.

      They make the same joke in the Corner Gas animated series iirc.

        Holy shit, they’re still making corner gas? Also, a sniper plotline seems pretty dark for that show

          Not any more, unfortunately, but they did create 4 seasons of an animated series that only ended recently.

          While I don’t think there was a sniper plot specifically, the animated series does get a lot more “risque” than the live action show (at least, relatively speaking). I honestly recommend checking it out of you liked the original.

      WeWork would have paid for that placement. No brand would get through the studio and editing without ponying up.
