Written & directed by Kk Apple, The Launch is a parody of the Microsoft team getting ready to launch Windows 95 at a big tech event in 1995.

In each episode, two contestants share with host and creator Okatsuka something they love and something they fear, which she uses in comic scenarios to humiliate them and test their “wokeness.”

The project is the latest in a series of steps to aggressively relaunch the iconic brand over the past year under President Evan Shapiro, who said he’s in the process of trying to close a deal with another Ott platform for a second show.
