e co-writer of the cult sci-fi comedy Idiocracy confirmed what many of the films fans probably felt about the current political climate, The Hill reported.
I never expected Idiocracy to become a documentary, Etan Cohen posted on Twitter on Wednesday. The 2006 film centered around two people who awaken from a cryogenic sleep to learn that the country is awash in anti-intellectualism.
I thought the worst thing that would come true was everyone wearing Crocs, Cohen added.
The movie, which Cohen co-wrote with director Mike Judge, garnered critical praise and a cult following despite being under-promoted by 20th Century Fox during its US theatrical release.
People will email and post stuff on my Twitter thats like, Hey, you predicted it right! So thats always nice. But its not always nice because you want the world to become a better place, Judge told The Verge in 2014, adding, Yep, were doomed. Might as well make jokes about it.
