Shownotes

This week on 100 Things We Learned From Film, we’re diving into Idiocracy—the cult sci-fi comedy that somehow feels more like a documentary every year.

Chosen by Patron Josh Wilson from the Super Familiar with the Wilsons podcast, we explore the chaotic making of Mike Judge’s satirical classic: from its bizarre casting choices and ultra-low budget to the studio quietly trying to bury it on release.

It flopped in cinemas, found life on DVD, and now sits as one of the strangest “told you so” films ever made.
