Mike Judge has a new movie out, “Idiocracy,” and no one seems to know about it. Apparently it has slipped under the radar due to issues with poor early screening ratings, delays and civil suits. Can’t find a trailer anywhere.

A perfectly cast Luke Wilson stars as a quintessential everyman who hibernates for centuries and wakes up in a society so degraded by insipid popular culture, crass consumerism, and rampant anti-intellectualism that he qualifies as the smartest man in the world. Corporations cater even more unashamedly to the primal needs of the lowest common denominator—Starbucks now traffics in handjobs as well as lattes—and the English language has devolved into a hilarious patois of hillbilly, Ebonics, and slang.
