Idiocracy LIVE feat. Co-Screenwriter Etan Cohen
Manage episode 197988903 series 1756452
Idiocracy, an over a decade-old movie, is set in a world where corporations have taken over, the population’s IQ has declined dramatically, and the president is a reality TV star. Now a cult-classic, people on both side of the aisle are starting to wonder did this 2006 comedy predict the future?
Before you go any further, we recommend you watch the film. It’ll make this podcast way more interesting.
Thursday, February 8th, the film’s co-screenwriter Etan Cohen joined Christopher Robichaud in a screening of the movie followed by a live episode of This Week in Dystopia. Tune in to hear Cohen discuss what didn’t make it into the film, the relationship between comedy and reality, and how social media would have changed the story.
