I work in IT.

There can only be one:

OFFICE SPACE

The IT Crowd, too.

The Accountant, when the main character is talking to the old people in the office about claiming part of your houses expenses against your hobby, and fiddling with the numbers.

There’s only one movie about what I do, and it’s quite misleading. Most machinists actually do sleep.

I've never seen (or heard of) a movie that tries to depict what an XRay tech does.

Anyone have suggestions?

Backrooms

I don't remember any XRay techs in that

It’s a stretch but Mark Duplass’ character, Phil, is a scientist and researcher for a company that did imaging research before creating/discovering the doorway into the Backrooms. I’d like to think that at one point of his career he was an x-ray tech of some sort.

So kinda, sorta, maybe a movie about a x-ray tech as I know nothing but the bare minimum about what x-ray techs do so I’d like to believe they explore weird parallel dimensional limbo spaces.

Everything Everywhere All at Once i wouldn't say that. I never got a buttplug trophy, or any trophy.

When did you have hot dog fingers?

We dont get those until the 25 year mark. Sadly with changes made by the Trump adminiatration I might never get the honor.

Cold Storage (2026)

Laid back gig, but man some coworkers are over the top

Shin Godzilla. The atmosphere in the scientists' room and their attitudes when one of them makes a breakthrough are almost identical to the most intense days at my job.

Quality Assurance

Least accurate? Grandma’s Boy

Most accurate? Westworld (the show)

Hear me out. West World is a qa environment to test if a robot is actually a copy of a person. Grandma’s Boy is Sandler-slop set in a world without version control.
