DOUBLE BILL! A Mike Judge-directed double feature including the Melbourne theatrical premiere of his criminally underseen 2006 sci-fi comedy IDIOCRACY, followed by cult favourite OFFICE SPACE (1999).

Buried by the studio (owned at the time by one Rupert Murdoch) and barely released globally, Judge's prophetic comedy sees Private Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson) - judged by the US military as being perfectly average in intelligence and physicality - recruited to participate in a top-secret cryogenics program. When the experiment is defunded and the cryochamber junked with Bauers still asleep inside, he wakes up five hundred years later in a future where he’s become the most intelligent man in the country. Brilliantly funny and incredibly prescient (if a few centuries off the mark), IDIOCRACY might be the funniest post-apocalyptic film ever made. Co-starring Maya Rudolph, Terry Crews and Dax Shepard.

Peter (Ron Livingston), Samir (Ajay Naidu) and Michael Bolton (David Herman) are office drones who hate their jobs in OFFICE SPACE. Pushed to the limit by a pass-agg boss (Gary Cole) and an increasingly frustrating workplace environment, a hypnotherapy accident causes Peter to wake up with a new lease on life and refusal to kowtow to management. Inspiring waitress Joanna (Jennifer Aniston) to take a similar approach to her themed-restaurant superiors, Peter and his colleagues decide to take revenge on their employers with a scheme that quickly spirals out of control. Inspired by Judge's own cartoon series Milton (and featuring a hilarious Stephen Root in the role of the workplace misfit), OFFICE SPACE was the filmmaker's first foray into live action filmmaker following the hit success of animated feature Bevis And Butt-Head Do America.
