In this episode the pod plunges into the depths of Adam McKay's 2021 satire Don't Look Up. Is it the contemporary equivalent to the keen and biting satire of Dr. Strangelove? Does its central analogy between a comet strike and climate change make any sense at all? Is this the most annoying movie ever made?
Plus we get into the (potential) end of a different kind of world, namely the world of the British Royal Family. What is the deal with our fascination with these people and have they finally gone too far?
As a bonus: Stu both forgets the name of Karlheinz Stockhausen AND confuses Jonah Hill with Seth Rogen. Michael, generously, refuses to call him out for these frankly fireable lapses.
Also: you can pre-order Stu's new book which touches on the theme of royal absurdity as well as the end of the world here.
