in honor of the hell world we currently live in, we're kicking off a 2 month retrospective celebrating one of hollywood's favorite sub-genres: the disaster movie. we're kicking things off with the recent oscar nominated liberal fever dream "don't look up" starring one of the biggest ensembles of proud white folks ever assembled, led by leonardo di caprio and jennifer lawrence as scientists who discover a giant meteor will collide with earth in six months and nobody really gives a fuck.

actor morgan maher joins us to weigh in on the oscar-approved satire to see where the division lies between critics, audiences and the academy. is the move just preaching to the choir while further alienating the americans it *might* be attempting to reach? is anyone in the ensemble even acting in the same movie? was adam mckay a better satirist when he was making broad studio comedies for the masses? is hollywood even capable of making an honest to god satire anymore? is mark rylance's controversial portrayal of a tech billionaire as problematic as it's been made out to be? has any actress ever been cast as the concerned wife as much as melanie lynskey? and most importantly is "don't look up" based on a true story??? there's only one place to find out.
