Published: Aug. 14, 2018, 11 a.m.

This episode we're discussing the controversial mid-2000s movie directed by Mike Judge, Idiocracy! Starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, and Terry Crews, this movie provides exaggerated commentary about American society and the dangerous path we might very possibly be walking. We discuss the parallels to "Trump's America", the predictions the movie potentially got right, and the technology it didn't quite predict. We also take a dive into it's controversial (super limited) release and why 20th Century Fox wanted to hide this satirical comedy from the public.
