In this episode of Film Talk, host Sarah delves deep into Don’t Look Up, the darkly satirical film that critiques society’s and democracy’s responses to global crises. Joined by a distinguished panel including the film’s director Adam McKay, political science expert Julie, film critic Celine, and Republican politician Theodor, they explore the film's depiction of leadership, political polarization, and the role of the media in shaping public perception. Together, they examine the ways in which democracy can falter in the face of major global threats and how Don’t Look Up uses satire to mirror these real-world struggles.
