“In early 2020, Adam McKay started making a comedy,” says the podcast logline. “The purpose was to ridicule and point out the forces that are preventing us from surviving climate change. In 2020, of course, he had other plans. “This happened when a cast and crew came together to make a disaster comedy, while living through a series of very non-comic disasters.”
Following a limited movie release that began on December 10, “Don’t Look Up” became available for streaming on Netflix on December 24. The film met with mixed reactions, though it still looks ready as a formidable contender for this year’s awards competition, with some calling it “too funny to lose”.
