Don't Look Up - Pop & Locke

What this episode covers

Inspired by Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and in the vein of his financial crisis origin story, “The Big Short”, Adam McKay’s 2021 Netflix film, “Don’t Look Up” posits a world where the sky is falling, politicians are too self absorbed to do anything, and the media is hellbent on distraction by any means necessary. Trevor Burrus, Matthew Feeney, and Natalie Dowzicky join us to parse the fact from fiction, and explain how successful it is in getting its strident hope across. Hosted on Acast.
