Show Notes
ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Idiocracy: "It's got what plants crave!"
Continuing the theme of October time travel, ACOFAE jumps into the future with the satirical classic "Idiocracy." 500 years into the future and society has kind of fallen apart. Plants aren't growing, healthcare is somehow worse than it is currently, and it's up to Joe and Rita to solve the problems for everyone. Once the most average people of their time and now the smartest on the planet, Joe and Rita have one week to turn things around or else..Filled with sight gags and astronomical performances, "Idiocracy" might seem a bit too on the nose now but when it came out this was comedy. We promise.
"The thirst mutilator."
