Listened to you guys identify a ton of good things about 'Don't Look Up' and then you gave it 3 thumbs down! Sure, it wasn't a great movie, but it was a satire - it's supposed to be stupid, imbecilic, and overacted.

Listened to you guys identify a ton of good things about 'Don't Look Up' and then you gave it 3 thumbs down! Sure, it wasn't a great movie, but it was a satire - it's supposed to be stupid, imbecilic, and overacted.

The concept of successfully escaping earth, landing on a goldilocks planet 22,000 years later, and immediately getting eaten was a hilarious ending (I hope Elon has seen the movie). Anyway, crack team, another great review on your part!

Imagine if all those funny things were condensed into 100 minutes! It'd be a real winner!
