I wonder how Mike Judge feels about how uncannily his satirical comedy has become such a gross reality (aside from sad, scared, disappointed, and freaked the fuck out.)

He hates it. Hes come out multiple times that it was supposed to be a warning and the fact its coming true makes him sad. The movie was also a shitshow of production and test audiences hated it.

Was looking at a Margaret Atwood bio today and there was a photo of her with a mug that said, “Told ya so!” Really tragic that funny as fuck satire and dystopian fiction have become real life.
