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.

November 10, 2021 Dune
Matthew Feeney and Caleb Watney discuss Denis Villeneuve's 2021 film adaption of Frank Herbert's Dune.

Frank Herbert’s 1965 Dune is a futuristic geopolitical allegory that was anti-corporate and pro-eco-radicalism. Villeneuve's film adaptation of the book stays pretty true to the original story, it's set in the very distant future, in which humanity has evolved in many scientific respects and mutated in a lot of spiritual ones.
