This week, we’re offering a bit of respite from the bleak dystopian worlds we’ve been exploring by adding a dose of comedy into the mix.

Join us as we discuss Sleeper (1973), Woody Allen's sci-fi comedy where a man wakes up 200 years in the future to a bizarre, totalitarian world, and Idiocracy (2006), Mike Judge's satirical take on a future where society has devolved into absurdity.

Both films use humor to critique and explore dystopian themes, providing a unique and lighter perspective on what the future could hold.
