The film has a long-term fan in Shepard Fairey, the street artist who created the famous Hope poster in support of Barack Obama’s candidacy in 2008.
Fairey moderated a discussion with Judge (who also co-created HBO’s Silicon Valley), Crews and Dax Shepard, who plays Frito, Joe’s Costco-trained lawyer.
“I love the way humor is used in Idiocracy to make the social critique more digestible,” Fairey says.
Or as Etan Cohen, one of the screenwriters, tweeted in February: “I never expected #Idiocracy to become a documentary.”
