Don’t Look Up – 8

As a sucker for broad comedy (see, e.g., Monty Python), especially when it leans in my political direction, I enjoyed every minute of Adam McKay’s latest satire. Low expectations, based on word-of-mouth criticism that it was too obvious or just too much, undoubtedly helped. While it’s unfair to single out any of the star-studded cast, I loved Jennifer Lawrence. Not so much Leonardo DiCaprio, but maybe his role was  the nondescript squishy middle that the others played off of. The movie took on climate change deniers, celebrity journalism, tech giants, social media, Live with Kelly!, space billionaires, political appointees, MAGA and more! Plus, it had the snappiest ending I can remember.
