Episode 71: Idiocracy




Pioneers Podcast show

Summary: <br> Mike Judge (Office Space, Beavis and Butthead) made a film which was released in 2006 about a dystopian future future where everyone is stupid. 20th Century Fox subsequently squashed its release primarily because they didn’t know how to market a very intelligent satire that was posing as a very dumb comedy. I feel gross when I watch this movie, primarily because it makes me feel disturbed about the actual state of our world. Good art produces a response…even if the response isn’t pleasant. This segment is a review of the film where I can’t stop laughing. In the bonus content I cover modern parallels and answer the question, “Is humanity getting stupider?” <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thepioneerspodcast">Subscribe on Patreon</a> and receive up to 75 hours of bonus content, a call to say thanks, and more. <br>
