ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE AND ART HOUSE CONVERGENCE GOT WHAT AMERICA CRAVES.

Flash forward to today. We are approaching the end of the most bizarre, absurdist presidential race in U.S. history. Over the past months, thousands have questioned in social media whether IDIOCRACY was actually a documentary. Mike Judge's sadly prescient film has transcended its cult classic status to become a vibrant and essential facet of this election conversation. T
