If the comet were on its way, what’s the last thing you would do? <\/p>\n

\nAdam McKay is not afraid of comedy or drama. If you look at his movies like Step Brothers, Vice, The Big Short<\/em>, you’ll find a wide array of tones, actors, styles, and distinct points of view.\n<\/p>\n

\nMcKay has never shied away from challenges, so when he wanted to make a dark satirical comedy about the end of the world, he leaned into what he’s good at: making people laugh and cringe at the same time.\n<\/p>\n

\nEditor’s note: Some spoilers for <\/strong><\/em>Don’t Look Up<\/strong> follow. <\/strong><\/em>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\nIn his new movie, Don’t Look Up<\/em>, we follow two scientists from Michigan State who discover a comet is headed toward Earth. When confronting the president and her son, played by Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill, they’re dismissed and pushed aside as leaders bring in Mark Rylance’s tech billionaire to solve their problems. The movie takes its cue from climate change and capitalism and leans strongly into the selfishness of humanity.\n<\/p>\n
