Listen Later

The only thing brighter than the Hollywood stars in Adam McKay's Don't Look Up (2021) is the giant comet hurtling toward Earth. In this episode, Claire and Elizabeth discuss the parallels between the apocalyptic satire and real life, talk about the scenes that gave them chills, debate the movie's split reviews and share their end-of-world dinner plans.
