The Idiots - Being Mediocre, Riding Our Privilege, and Playing Dumb (feat. Jonah Matranga)

Published: Aug. 31, 2021, 10 a.m.

This week, singer-songwriter Jonah Matranga helps Don and Chuck tackle their first truly art-house film with Lars von Trier's The Idiots. An engaging though often uncomfortable film, the Idiots tells the story of a commune of mostly young, emotionally lost, well-to-do people who expose society's true feelings for those they feel are below them. How do they do this? By pretending to be differently-abled. Jonah helps guide Don and Chuck through the film's themes of rebelliousness, the damage wealth and privilege can bring, and personal freedom.
