Chicago’s 26th Annual Festival, put together by the minds behind The Onion, The AV Club, Clickhole, and TruTV, will be in its 4th year at the end of May/beginning of June and has a pretty fantastic line-up that includes a sneak peek of Nathan For You, Patton Oswalt, 35mm screening of Idiocracy with Mike Judge, Aparna Nancherla, and more.
Individual tickets are on sale now or, if you’d prefer, you can buy a festival pass for $310 here.
It’s the 10 year anniversary of the film, but there also has never been a better time for American citizens to see this movie than now.
On October 4th, Alamo Drafthouse will be doing a special one-night only engagement screening of Mike Judge’s Idiocracy complete with a Q&A with Judge and the cast to be live streamed from the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica.
The drafthouse has theaters across the country and you can find where they are and get your tickets at the link above.

Terry Crews is also on board to reprise his role as President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
Since Donald Trump’s rise in this presidential election, plenty of people have made plenty of references to 2006′s Idiocracy from Mike Judge, who you probably now know from Silicon Valley on HBO, and Etan Cohen.
In case you forgot how much of a satirical cautionary tale that movie was, both Judge and Cohen, pending permission from Fox who owns the rights to the original movie, are ready to make new ads with President Camacho that will stick it to Donald Trump.
If they got to do it, it would be probably be another great piece of attire of this 2016 election. We just hope that it would be a bit of comedy that both those against Trump would enjoy as well as shutting up Trump supporters instead of making them dig their heels in deeper.
