5. DON'T LOOK UP (2021) dir. Adam McKay

from The Movies · host Daniel Berrios

Today, I review Adam McKay's satirical black comedy "Don't Look Up" as the first entry in a series covering this year's Best Picture nominees for the 94th Academy Awards. When two astronomers (Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio) discover a planet-killing comet hurtling towards Earth, they scramble to warn everyone. Some believe them. A lot don't. Some want to wait for more information and others couldn't care less. As world leaders squabble, the comet moves ever closer.---Follow The Movies on ⁠Instagram ⁠& ⁠Letterboxd⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠tip jar!
