In the middle of the Obama era, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim made a comedy about how our world is a dystopia. America was not ready for TIM AND ERIC'S BILLION DOLLAR MOVIE (2012), but seven years later, it's starting to look like one of the key films of the decade. We discuss shopping-mall culture, irony, and horrifying tales from working in a call centre.
