Today’s show is a discussion and review of Adam McKay’s Netflix original Don’t Look Up.
We cinephiles seem to love Apocalyptic movies. Generally known as Disaster films, man made, natural, or cosmic, there’s something oddly entertaining about witnessing the fictional destruction of our civilization in the same way people gawk at flashing police lights on the side of the freeway. We love films like Armageddon, Deep Impact, Greenland, Knowing, and more.
In film as in life, we have hope that our heroes will save us, and the arduous journey to victory is the true entertainment of the story. But what if there was no hero? Or worse yet, there are heroes, but no one cares? And even worse than that, no one cares at all?
Well, the same questions were posed by Adam McKay as he was writing the script for this movie. Sparked by the climate change crisis, McKay was commenting to his friend, journalist David Sirota, on how amazing it was that the climate change crisis wasn’t headline news every day. His friend replied that it was like there was a comet headed straight to Earth that is going to destroy us all and no one cares. Immediately, McKay knew David's comet idea was the basis for his script. And the rest is cinema history.
In this show, we do more than a movie review by delving into the lives of the cast and crew, fan theories, trivia, scene breakdowns, and anything related to the film itself. Needless to say, our shows are a little longer than your average movie review show, but we can assure you that our shows are jam packed with entertaining and interesting discussions. If that sounds like your sort of bag, hang out with Kenny and Del as they get into Don't Look Up.
