Ep 16 - Idiocracy

This week’s episode has got what plants crave, Mike Judge’s 2006 crystal ball of satire, IDIOCRACY. A 1st time watch for Raquel - and she loves the simplistic, yet thoughtful, premise. Raphael would vote for President Camacho a 3rd time, if he could. Brand culture & late-stage capitalism get discussed. Raquel appreciates that it’s juvenile but still entertaining. Raphael wonders about why Fox buried this movie’s release when Judge was making them millions with King of the Hill. Raquel likens the film to THE WIZARD OF OZ. Take a wild guess which Martinez likes, and which one hates, Beavis & Butthead. Another fun, light episode! Thank you for listening, we love you.

Every week one host picks a film for the two of them to dissect and see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of the movies. Feel free to write to us!
