Episode 68 – Idiocracy
Manage episode 444448957 series 2134081
Bill and Ted discuss Mike Judge’s 2006 film “Idiocracy,” the Rip Van Winkle style comedy about an exceptionally average man, Corporal Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson), left to awaken to a future so stupid and idiotic that it boggles the mind five hundred years after a botched one year top-secret military hibernation experiment. The average Joe and his fellow experimental subject Rita (Maya Rudolph) are stunned to discover that he’s easily become the smartest man in America. This alarmingly cutting and prescient cautionary thought experiment satirically delves into the dangers of unchecked consumerism and coperatocracy, the degradation of medicine and law and order, and the dumbing down of politics, popular culture and reportage; Judge provides a politically incorrect, weird, crass, over the top, painfully funny and horrifying film which has now become something of a cult hit.
