Netflix subscribers often find diamonds in the rough - films that illustrate history & reality - but aren't marketed or organized such that you can easily find what's valuable. 'Navigating Netflix' from Media Monarchy & Tragedy and Hope - the show designed to prioritize your time for movies that feed your mind!
In this episode of Navigating Netflix, the team looks at the brilliant comedic satire "Idiocracy" and examine its plot of a future humanity that has been dumbed down to the point of near-uselessness. A sardonic commentary on our Health systems, Military systems, Prison systems, Justice system, Media systems, Corporate Consumer Culture and more, Mike Judge takes his characters through the gauntlet of ridiculous culture gone awry in Idiocracy. Rated R for language and sex-related humor.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the pilot episode of 'Navigating Netflix' - appropriately titled 'The Experiment'. Our first film is a 2010 dramatization of the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment - the 1971 study that was funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research and conducted by Philip Zimbardo at Stanford University in which volunteers took on "the roles of guards and inmates in a mock prison as part of a controversial psychological experiment." Rated R for strong disturbing violence.
