In Idiocracy, the society was teetering on the edge of ruin, and the people found the smartest person and put him in charge. The people in the movie were smarter than us.
I rented “Idiocracy” from Netflix back when they were still sending DVDs through the mail. I was a huge fan of Mike Judge and couldn’t wait to see the movie. Some reviewer had written something about it being a dystopian black comedy, similar to Woody Allen’s “Sleeper” and that made me want to see it even more. Quiet Sunday afternoon. Bottle of beer. Kicked back on the sofa. Ready to laugh my myself silly. Nothing could prepare me for the absolute horror and utter depression of the soul that was/is “Idiocracy”.
The reason he's so cautious about being proud of the movie is that the studio shit all over while it was being made. The problem in test screenings (and in the box office release) is that a lot of dumb people didn't understand the whole thing was satire, they just thought it was an extra dumb movie. That's what he means by "difficult to market."
I was an extra for Idiocracy and it was such a fun experience! I even was able to give Mr. Judge a copy of my comic book I had self-published to him. He was an amazing man and director. Great memories! I miss Austin from time to time.
@@bengarrett4182 He is behind that sign at 23 minutes 42 seconds, the sign that says dont believe everything you read on the internet. Sorry, couldnt help myself..
Idiocracy is a genius-level movie. It doesn't get talked about nearly enough, but over the last year or so I've seen it popping up more and more, which is such a good thing! It's so good!
I think the movie makes people uncomfortable because they don't want to accept that it is a much more likely future than the Utopia they think the future will be.
Live under rocks? this movie gets mentioned monthly/weekly for the past 15 years. Feels like almost every reddit post regarding anything politics has at least one comment on it. half the top trending tags on twitter, will have at least one comment on it once u scroll through. This guy is not on joe rogan because no one ever heard about his movie or talks about his movie, he is literally there because it has become such a meme and everyone knows about it.
This is no joke: Idiocracy was MASTERFULLY put together. The casting, the script, the acting, the visuals, the production, EVERYTHING. This compliment is not lightly said.
And it was intentionally sabotaged by the studio. Terry Crews mentions in an interview that once the brands involved and the studio found out what the movie was really about, they scheduled a limited theatrical release and then wiped the film out completely.
I remember seeing Idiocracy on Showtime back in what must have been early 2007. I just remember being shocked that such a new movie was on Showtime on demand. I was the first person in my group of friends and relatives to have seen it and I was also the one who introduced it to everyone. That was the only time that I found a gem that early on and had the privilege to show it to other people that had no clue what it was. We still quote lines from it to this day, 16 years later.
I watched this movie for my first time in Iraq, then I came back to the states and realized how much he nailed it. Spend time away from modern society, when you come back you see the mass hallucination
Mike Judge should never beat himself over low-budget and this and that... The movie is a masterpiece! Couldn't done better, comedy is better & original than any contemporary comedy today and on top of that is weirdly, unexpectedly mystical and deep. You couldn't ask for more! Fantastic, top-notch entertainment!
I just wish there were better shots of the big motorbike Comacho was driving in the President’s convoy. A bit more effort in the screenplay would have been great.
He's not beating himself up for the low budget, just disappointed that he couldn't fulfill 100% of what he wanted because he had the low budget, which was entirely up to the studio, not his fault. He knows the movie could've been better if he had a proper budget, that's what I think he gets down on.
Lol i have heard that some great artists are never satisfied with their works, it's strange to see this happen with Idiocracy bc it's so fantastic. Lol the crocs
Sadly, grass lawns are a huge environmental disaster for the United States and any country that struggles with water issues, not to mention all of the idiotic toxic chemicals that homeowners spray on their water-consuming lawns.

I was 16-17 when office space played on HBO in 1999... Funniest damned thing... and my buddies said "it sounds dumb" now they show their "flair" for it ... But seriously mike judge is a pillar of modern day society. Beavis and Butthead, king of the hill, office space, Idiocracy.... 4 properties that are amazing and regardless most people could quote something from one of them... he litteraly helped shape modern american society...
I feel his pain. Idiocracy was a movie that had so potential as a premise, and it always felt like it was done with a lackluster budget. What he is saying about his test screening make sense. It was really smart and it's a universe that I would like explored more in depth
I've always wished there would be a sequel, not sure (!) what would happen in that. People often mention the story "The Marching Morons" in connection with this movie. In that story, the few smart people who run everything secretly (and they obviously exist here, what with the airplanes and other evidence of complex technical manufacture) decide to kill all the stupid people! They make a plan and do it. This doesn't come up as much as you would think. I think Joe would have to meet these people in a further adventure. They are obviously there! There is broadcasting, electricity, aircraft, shoulder-fired missiles, that hospital (it doesn't help Joe much, but if you had been stabbed or were having a baby there was a button to push, something would happen I guess)... Somewhere there are Engineers, Technicians, a professor or two and some kind of educational system. It might not be a secret, it might be something that nobody notices or cares about any more. It's hard to get people interested in books NOW!
Idiocracy is a masterpiece that gave me the same "What if" feeling that the Matrix gave me. To be honest this film ended up predicting the future in a fairly accurate manner lol.
Most movies do. That’s how the elites introduce the real things happening in the world. If they released stuff like that on the news people panic. Release stuff like that in movies that “aren’t real” people get intrigued and love it. It amazes me how well the government has trained us. Smh 🤦♂️
I didn't see it in the theatre, but when I saw it on DVD, I thought it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. You always wonder with a comedy how funny it's going to be. It was so well written, and cast, and directed, and acted. It was very well done. Definitely one of the best comedy movies I've ever seen. Feel bad that so many corporations and our government missed that it was satire, and not meant to be used as a blueprint.
I dont think it was in theaters. I remember watching it at a house party on mute. I was a drunk teenager, just sat down and it was on like idk HBO or something. I remember watching the opening evolution scene and then looking around the room at other dumb drunk teenagers and being overcome with serious sadness.
@@newfreenayshaun6651 I think it did make it to some theatres, though perhaps not a wide release. The thing is, so many movies these days, if it's not a big hit the first weekend, it's usually gone by the second.
Crocs are actually very popular here in Argentina. Doctors and people who work in the food industry use them due to the amount of hours they have to be standing, they're very comfortable and they have a long lifespan. I've had three pairs in total over the years.
Crocs are popular everywhere. It’s amazing such a self proclaimed outdoorsman acts like he’s never seen a pair. Trashing them is just fellow kids nonsense.
Comedy pays more. Same reason Dr. Ken quit medicine once the comedy career popped off. And doctors make a ton. Just like physics. But nothing compares to Hollywood money. Especially that cartoon money. If you make a cartoon that pops off, that's a never ending ATM.
Wow its crazy to see how disappointed mike is/was with that movie.. this is easily hands down top 3 funniest movies ever made bc you see elements in actual society every day. Take more pride in idiocracy mike! Its definitely considered a cult classic at this point
"making total of of something while also accurately portraying how it is at the same time." That's called "satire." You're the master of circumlocution.
@marydestefano9487 I believe they meant accurately as in authentic/genuine. It is still satire, but most satire often shys away from a more mundane portrayal opting to be more hyperbolic.
@D Legionnaire Yeah..."infinite" is sooo big, though.. However big you can imagine...the biggest enormity your 3 pound brain can fathom....isn't even a DENT in infinity. Yo', INFINITY is BIGGER than Big! Enormous.. Gargantuan...Super-Massive... Colossal...Huge... Humungous..! ...they're all miniscule next to INFINITY.

@@mightisright weellllll I saw it at MGM Grand in Conroe, TX which is an hour north of Houston. Can I even tell you how much popcorn I had for further proof?
One of my favorite movies. Even when I first watched it years ago, I remember thinking, "this is sorta a possibility the way I see things going. It's exaggerated, but not that far off the mark." And here we are a decade and a half, give or take, later. Sadly, we still seem to be heading in this direction.
I first watch movie around 2009 when I was searching for any movies to watch on Netflix, when it was both streaming and renting by in-mail DVDs. Out of all the movies I watched, this was one of the memorable movies along with The Darwin Awards and Henry Poole is Here.
Talk About a "Legacy". In 2005 this movie accurately Predicted Smartphones (post-2009), Mass Surveillance, Trash TV overtaking normal Television. All 5-10 years before those things happened.
When I was little, like 6 or 7, my mom showed me movies like Idiocracy and my stepfather showed me stuff like Alex Jones. I feel so grateful to have had a head start on understanding how shitty our world is. Love Mike Judge! King of the Hill revival coming up soon too!
I have said this so many times ... I'm always telling people that this movie was preparing us for the narrative we are now living 😱 . Literally, this and the book 1984. I've gone so far as to ponder on Orwell, being the Fabian he was, having put that book out as a narrative that was to come to fruition in the year of the coded title. Everyone thinks 1984 was projected 40 yrs earlier than it really happened (present times). I think more that we've been there since then and they laugh at us because we can't even realize it
"They cut the effects budget.... but the paid to make the movie... so I'm grateful." What a pro. They sabotaged the movie's production and buried its release, Judge says nice things about them.
Yeah I was working out. I was working on my traps doing some dumbbell snatches and shrugs. I was getting pumped. I decided to throw on your movie during my workout.

I saw it just after it was released , hilarious, everyone I mentioned it to had never heard of it. Its one of those films you never forget and numerous real life situations always made remember moments from the movie
Mike Judge is a legend and is up there with Matt Stone and Trey Parker in creating satirical comedy. I highly recommend the Cinemax Series "Mike Judge presents: Tales From the Tour Bus". It's an animated docu-series, that delves into the stories of musics greatest legends. It's a series so full of humour, tragedy, and music and I can not recommend it enough.
"Idiocracy" was a genius piece of filming. Never before and never again will a movie comedy NAIL current and future societal trends as dead on as this.
It's a great, hilarious movie, but if you look around yourself, it's really not that hard to notice a downward spiral, and it wasn't different back then either. We've been getting dumber and lazier for a long time now. Like they said, the script actually missed some of the biggest, most significant changes in society, like social media and cancel culture. At its core it basically comes down to "dumb people breed, smart people don't", which is obviously true, but it's not a mind-blowing revelation.
Devo nailed it way before and way better than Idiocracy. I love Mike Judge -- he distributed a film of mine when no one was interested -- but he screwed up a wonderful idea. If you can't tell from this interview, he knows it sucks. He should have done a Mel Gibson and paid for it with his own money. As it was, the script wasn't ready, there wasn't enough pre-production, it kind of lurched into production, and he was always behind the corporate 8-ball. The idea was brilliant and deserved way more time and care. As it is, only idiots think Idiocracy is a good film. Life imitates art. As our culture gets dumber, the more it appreciates Idiocracy. It helps morons feel smart. Devo's vision of de-evolution was spot-on and never understood or appreciated by morons.
I just finished watching it for free with ads on youtube , treat yourselves and watch this masterpiece, the smartphones was hard to predict but he was spot on the crocs , I still haven't bought one to this date 😂
I ordered this movie from Amazon and while watching it I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or get angry. I spent 31+ years in American industry and wrote a book series about the decline and fall of the American work ethic. As a luxury vehicle modifier (conversion vans) and an assembly line worker (fire trucks) I worked with people who could not read on a high school level, could not read a simple tape measure, and honestly believed that 3/8ths was more than 3/4ths! Many times I was taken aside by crew leaders and supervisors and advised to “dumb down“ my language so that many of my coworkers could better understand me. During one production meeting when asked to share my thoughts I started off by saying “Well gentlemen , not to sound presumptuous -“ a coworker immediately cut in saying “There he goes again with them $100 dollar words!” Indeed many of my coworkers asked me “Why you gotta use them bigass words?!”
I love that movie its so god damn funny, watched the other day. The part with the fucked up highway and thats collapsed and the cars that keep driving off the end. Every minute is pure genius
A while back, the Walmart near my house had the movie in the discount DVD rack. I bought 20+ copies for $3 a piece and gave them away for Xmas. Never had such positive feedback for a gift before. I did the same in later years when Way of the Gun was in the discount bin. I bought a bunch of them for $5 and gave them away for Christmas.

It’s a true prophetic story. It just all hasn’t happened yet. Like the Book of Revelation.

True! We're do I find the smart people who understand me?
Yes. This is our reality.
It's literally a fictional comedy, idiot.
Closer to a documentary than a movie

There are allot a Tards livin kickass lives….
My husband and I often say the same thing! Lol
Agree
We all need to thank Mike Judge for the amount of intelligent entertainment that he provided the world. Thanks Mike!!
I love all of his work. Extract is my favorite. What a cast.
I worked at Blockbuster when Idiocracy came out, told everyone to rent it back in 2006. Still one of the funniest movies ever!
Shout out to fellow video rental store employees! One of the BEST/MOST FUN jobs I’ve ever had! RIP
@@bentietz7617 penny for your thoughts? Nickel for a story sir? Pwwweeez
Doing God's work. Salute to you

@@le4905 thank you. I will
Gets a physics degree, becomes beloved comedy creator. What a legend.
Comedy pays more. Same reason Dr. Ken quit medicine once the comedy career popped off. And doctors make a ton. Just like physics. But nothing compares to Hollywood money. Especially that cartoon money. If you make a cartoon that pops off, that's a never ending ATM.
That will probably be me.
Mr Osamu Tezuka is the godfather of Manga, the Japanese comic books, he also pioneered Anime, and he had a medical degree
It's okay killing grass. Lot's of H20 to keep up.
I have two physics degrees and I can't get a job. Where is this money you speak of :(
Mike judge is unassuming and under rated. The guy is a hidden comic genius.
Loved it the first and 100th time. Brilliant and underrated
Wow its crazy to see how disappointed mike is/was with that movie.. this is easily hands down top 3 funniest movies ever made bc you see elements in actual society every day. Take more pride in idiocracy mike! Its definitely considered a cult classic at this point
sounds more like he just had a bad experience making it, not that he's hard on the final product
Yes, probably his best work.
I thought it was a horror? 🤷
It made 400 grand with a 2mill budget. So yeah
It’s his not his style, he’s so humble
Mike Judge is the absolute master of making total fun of something while also accurately portraying how it is at the same time.
"making total of of something while also accurately portraying how it is at the same time." That's called "satire." You're the master of circumlocution.
@marydestefano9487 I believe they meant accurately as in authentic/genuine. It is still satire, but most satire often shys away from a more mundane portrayal opting to be more hyperbolic.
Love that documentary!
Mike Judge and Crocs are the best. I wear Crocs almost all summer and sometimes in winter too if it's dry weather.
Same. Flip flops in the summer, Crocs in the winter
This man is responsible for an infinite amount of laughs
And who would've thought that he would be our very own Nostradamus!
@@coolerheadsprevail9312 Nostradummus lol
@D Legionnaire Yeah..."infinite" is sooo big, though.. However big you can imagine...the biggest enormity your 3 pound brain can fathom....isn't even a DENT in infinity.
Yo', INFINITY is BIGGER than Big!
Enormous.. Gargantuan...Super-Massive... Colossal...Huge... Humungous..!
...they're all miniscule next to INFINITY.

"Because they got electrolytes." The immortal essence of our society.
when an organism gets the gall to think they are beyond nature's mercy and they assume they can just add some magical properties to their food sources and outsmart the natural order of the universe lol
Get an untested vaccine, Pfizer ownes the fda and it's got what covid craves
It's what plants crave
Brawndo.😂
Hahaha it’s the best line of the movie.
Crocs are amazing. Those who dislike them are those who never wore em.
My favorite sequence of events!
"It just feels horrible to kill grass"
That's the Hank Hill coming out in him lol
Boy I tell you hwat
@@codyjames4058 That boy ain't right
particularly when using gasolene, CLEARLY it should be propane !
🤣
Ole Hank be keeping it cut and well manicured like a young bride but he def wouldn’t kill it.
@@taterpussy3825 bwaaaahh..
I saw this movie in theatres when it came out. Shocking how fast this movie became prophetic
Really? I think it was only released in a hundred theaters and Fox spent nothing to promote it.
It's ok Daniel, I believe you
It's intentional
@@mightisright weellllll I saw it at MGM Grand in Conroe, TX which is an hour north of Houston. Can I even tell you how much popcorn I had for further proof?
One of my favorite movies. Even when I first watched it years ago, I remember thinking, "this is sorta a possibility the way I see things going. It's exaggerated, but not that far off the mark." And here we are a decade and a half, give or take, later. Sadly, we still seem to be heading in this direction.
Idiocracy reminds me of 2023
2024
Met Judge at SXSW and proclaimed the film was way ahead of it’s time. He told me he must hear that 10 times a day.
"IT WAS MEANT TO BE A COMEDY, NOT A DOCUMENTARY"- Mike Judge
Scary thing is we are heading in the direction of the movie.
That boy ain't right
@@logan197777 everyone should watch the movie campaign. That's another one that hits pretty close to home.
A funny thing happened, mike.
1984 was supposed to be a book, not a user manual.
This movie was replayed so many times in Comedy Central and I watched it every single time 😂
I first watch movie around 2009 when I was searching for any movies to watch on Netflix, when it was both streaming and renting by in-mail DVDs. Out of all the movies I watched, this was one of the memorable movies along with The Darwin Awards and Henry Poole is Here.
I’ve watched it 2 or 3 times before. One of my teachers even played it in class once. It’s a great lesson on how society fails.
Yep it was down hill from 2000, just look at society today.
Even they knew the differences between men and women.
Russia, China and India are gonna take over and rule the world
Could just watch msm to see how society fails lol
Talk About a "Legacy". In 2005 this movie accurately Predicted Smartphones (post-2009), Mass Surveillance, Trash TV overtaking normal Television. All 5-10 years before those things happened.
Let's be Honest We knew it
ruclips.net/video/ikHtCsocdjk/видео.html
Wtf can't find any evidence that movie existed.
It also predicted the popularity of crocks.
@HOPE and PEACE okay the solar panel remark makes no sense. Think about what you said for a moment 😂
They purposefully botched the release of the movie.
I used to work in advertising agency. And this movie hit to the point. But very few ppl understood it (Moscow 2006).
He did 2 seasons of a show called Tales from the Tour Bus, don't know where you can find them but the are great.
Mike Judge is a unique version of a genius.
@D Legionnaire movie or real life scenario
he certainly is a low energy boring guest.
@@krusher74 You're a low energy boring guest.
@@krusher74 some of the funniest people in the business aren't exactly comedians. You'd be shocked.
A genius but like an ordinary dude.
I love Idiocracy. One of the greatest movies of all time. I can watch it at any time. Thanks Mike Judge.
When I was little, like 6 or 7, my mom showed me movies like Idiocracy and my stepfather showed me stuff like Alex Jones. I feel so grateful to have had a head start on understanding how shitty our world is. Love Mike Judge! King of the Hill revival coming up soon too!
you had me till you mentioned Alex Jones. yikes lmao you actually take that clown seriously?
Just recently watched it again. It's prophetic
I have been referencing this brilliant documentary since it was released. Thank you for making this information available to the public.🙏
Documentary😂
I have said this so many times ... I'm always telling people that this movie was preparing us for the narrative we are now living 😱 .
Literally, this and the book 1984. I've gone so far as to ponder on Orwell, being the Fabian he was, having put that book out as a narrative that was to come to fruition in the year of the coded title. Everyone thinks 1984 was projected 40 yrs earlier than it really happened (present times). I think more that we've been there since then and they laugh at us because we can't even realize it
Its not a documentary. Its a movie
@@forgottenmma3694 People like you are the reason why we call it a documentary.
Documentary of the future?
You never made it to the end of the movie where they found the, "time machine".
Did you?
"They cut the effects budget.... but the paid to make the movie... so I'm grateful."
What a pro. They sabotaged the movie's production and buried its release, Judge says nice things about them.
They realized the movie was about them (or at least their system) and got pissed off!
Yeah I was working out. I was working on my traps doing some dumbbell snatches and shrugs. I was getting pumped. I decided to throw on your movie during my workout.
2:02
I can tell Joe Rogan was waiting for Mike Judge to make a Brawndo reference after he asked "How do you do that?"
😆🤣😂
I think Idiocracy is a true legendary classic movie. People will talk about it forever.
Make idiocracy fiction again

Feeling bad about killing grass is one of the most hank hill things I’ve ever heard 😂
I saw it just after it was released , hilarious, everyone I mentioned it to had never heard of it. Its one of those films you never forget and numerous real life situations always made remember moments from the movie
I literally watched it yesterday again ! So Funny!!!!
Mike Judge is a legend and is up there with Matt Stone and Trey Parker in creating satirical comedy. I highly recommend the Cinemax Series "Mike Judge presents: Tales From the Tour Bus". It's an animated docu-series, that delves into the stories of musics greatest legends. It's a series so full of humour, tragedy, and music and I can not recommend it enough.
I love that show so much. Why didn't he make a 3rd season?
criminal there isn't a season 3 yet
I agree it's awesome. I'm surprised it wasn't huge. But I kinda like it this way. I can tell everybody about it.
@@BigWeavy79 a hair metal season would be my choice if I had a say
Judge fathered Stone and Parker. he's beyond legend.
"Idiocracy" was a genius piece of filming. Never before and never again will a movie comedy NAIL current and future societal trends as dead on as this.
Yeah I love it as well love how they had clothes that were plastered with company logos probably will happen at some point
Have you ever seen PCU?
It's a great, hilarious movie, but if you look around yourself, it's really not that hard to notice a downward spiral, and it wasn't different back then either. We've been getting dumber and lazier for a long time now. Like they said, the script actually missed some of the biggest, most significant changes in society, like social media and cancel culture.
At its core it basically comes down to "dumb people breed, smart people don't", which is obviously true, but it's not a mind-blowing revelation.
Devo nailed it way before and way better than Idiocracy. I love Mike Judge -- he distributed a film of mine when no one was interested -- but he screwed up a wonderful idea. If you can't tell from this interview, he knows it sucks.
He should have done a Mel Gibson and paid for it with his own money. As it was, the script wasn't ready, there wasn't enough pre-production, it kind of lurched into production, and he was always behind the corporate 8-ball.
The idea was brilliant and deserved way more time and care. As it is, only idiots think Idiocracy is a good film.
Life imitates art. As our culture gets dumber, the more it appreciates Idiocracy. It helps morons feel smart.
Devo's vision of de-evolution was spot-on and never understood or appreciated by morons.
@@carlodave9 ol no humor dave damn bro, lighten up some
I just finished watching it for free with ads on youtube , treat yourselves and watch this masterpiece, the smartphones was hard to predict but he was spot on the crocs , I still haven't bought one to this date 😂
I loved it so much I bought the DVD. Very high level Cult Classic.
I ordered this movie from Amazon and while watching it I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or get angry. I spent 31+ years in American industry and wrote a book series about the decline and fall of the American work ethic. As a luxury vehicle modifier (conversion vans) and an assembly line worker (fire trucks) I worked with people who could not read on a high school level, could not read a simple tape measure, and honestly believed that 3/8ths was more than 3/4ths! Many times I was taken aside by crew leaders and supervisors and advised to “dumb down“ my language so that many of my coworkers could better understand me. During one production meeting when asked to share my thoughts I started off by saying “Well gentlemen , not to sound presumptuous -“ a coworker immediately cut in saying “There he goes again with them $100 dollar words!” Indeed many of my coworkers asked me “Why you gotta use them bigass words?!”
Yeah try writing a book then getting normal people to read it 😂😂😂
They object to anything over five letters.
But I'm not writing for them.
Dear sweet Jesus. Now I know what my poor coworkers have to put up with in me. Ha. I ain't the smart one tho'.
@@smallbeginning2 If you're not writing for the average person, then who are you writing for?
Dude I just turned 39 yesterday and I can agree with everything you just said
@@sliceoflife4220 happy birthday
The movie we did not deserve, but it was the movie we needed.
God Bless You Mike Judge for making such a fine documentary!!!
this movie fucking sucked bro
The movie is about Mexicans lol
@@Freddy_ConfettiIt's not though, it's about all of humanity. Did you not watch it?
insanely underrated. I loved this movie since day one.
Best movie ever! I loved it. Mike Judge is awesome!
Released in 2006 as a comedy yet every passing year it comes closer to a documentary.
Well, the FDA is already horrifyingly corrupt, so we might as well rename it to Brawndo: the thirst annihilator!
One of my all time favorite films, thanks for writing it.
Two movies that I love that predicted the future pretty well: V for Vendetta and Idiocracy.
You forgot Network.
@JRG definitely...that film is the reality to come
rewatch back to the future 2 . that was supposed to be 2015 ,its almost like they were 4 or 5 years late, minus the hover boards.
99.9% of people don't know mike is a pro gun conservative. Idiocracy is about a leftist hell world.
I saw it when it came out, loved it
I love that movie its so god damn funny, watched the other day. The part with the fucked up highway and thats collapsed and the cars that keep driving off the end. Every minute is pure genius
Loved Idiocracy, Office Space, and Extract. We need a revival of great comedy films and I'd love if Mike Judge could start that with a new one.
You literally just listed my fave films..lol
Extract is such an underrated movie that most people have never heard of.
I agree - also Beavis and Butthead do America is worth it just for the 70s intro. I have all four in my keeper collection.
@@quailman8760 And what's strange is that it's loaded with big name actors. I don't know how it slipped under the radar.
Just saw Extract and damn that movie a hidden gem
"welcome to Costco, I love you" is the greatest line in a movie of all time.
i watched that movie first time a long long time ago, still love it its just so awsome
Such an awesome documentary
Welcome to Costco.....I love you.
Thanks~~~~
A while back, the Walmart near my house had the movie in the discount DVD rack. I bought 20+ copies for $3 a piece and gave them away for Xmas. Never had such positive feedback for a gift before.
I did the same in later years when Way of the Gun was in the discount bin. I bought a bunch of them for $5 and gave them away for Christmas.
My God, I need to go back and watch Way of The Gun again. Watching Sarah Silverman get punched is art in its highest form, lol.
Never seen way if the gun, I’ll give it a go
@@mattkandel2449 never seen it but I have to now. Both sides are idiots, I hated seeing the right turn into conspiracy idiots. But I will always despise the lefties and the lunacy they stand by
That's a good idea
I love how it devolved into a discussion about Crocs! So good
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite movies. Comedy turned documentary.
