Andrew Heaton and Andrew Young join us to discuss how the satire Idiocracy is becoming increasingly _too real_.

## Summary:

Idiocracy centers an extremely average Army librarian who wakes up from a centuries-long cryogenic sleep to find that America has gone to seed, with all intelligence bred out of society and the most loudmouth and insipid elements ‎now dominating. A former pro wrestler with rage issues and particularly inane tendencies is now the president. Originally released in 2006, this film is perhaps more politically timely today than it was 15 years ago.
