Idiocracy is a 2006 satirical comedy movie, directed by Mike Judge and starring Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph. We have to talk about it not just because this year it reached its 20th anniversary but also because of how relevant it has become. I wish, given the month we are in, that this last statement…
Year: 2026
