Popcorn Culture -  Review: Don't Look Up

Director Adam McKay's ability to curate an unbelievably stacked cast for his movies is something else. His latest offering, Don't Look Up, brings together heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Timothée Chalamet, and Meryl Streep (among others!) in a story about a comet that's about to destroy planet Earth. In this episode, we talk about what we loved (or hated) about Don't Look Up, the deeply satirical and sarcastic nature of Adam McKay's work, and the performances from the stellar cast involved.
