Idiocracy

Mike Judge’s delayed and controversial silver screen followup to Office Space stars Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph as subjects of a military time-travel experiment who wake up 500 years into the future to discover the average human IQ has plummeted and morons are ruling the planet. 2006 would have been a bizarre year for Hollywood cinema even without Idiocracy, which strives to be an equal-opportunity offender comedy. Today it’s hard to ignore the soft-eugenicist bent of Judge’s big joke, making for a gnarly and fascinating rewatch at a time when many conservatives are embracing an unabashed natalist agenda.
