/[  There are a dozen great phrases in this discussion.   McKay says it 
is important enough for everyone to call the President, for everyone to 
realize this is a time we need to "pull the ripcord" because "we're 
seeing a world that is coming apart, The New Yorker, by requiring this 
for $ubscribers only, suggests this is not important enough to freely 
share with the world. Disappointment for the magazine.  Positive for the 
movie.  And it adds to the discussion that we need economic changes.]

/*Adam McKay on How to Be Funny About the End of the World*
/The director of “The Big Short,” “Vice,” and “Anchorman” sits down with 
the New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz to discuss his latest film, 
the sci-fi satire “Don’t Look Up,” in which Leonardo DiCaprio and 
Jennifer Lawrence play astronomers attempting to warn the world of its 
impending doom. (Meryl Streep co-stars as a corrupt, Sarah Palin-esque 
American President; Jonah Hill plays her inept chief of staff, who is 
also her son.) McKay, an Oscar winner for his screenplay for “The Big 
Short,” will answer questions from subscribers as part of an extended Q. 
& A. The film, which also stars Timothée Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, 
Ariana Grande, and Tyler Perry, opens in theatres on December 10th, and 
will stream on Netflix starting on December 24th./

/Adam McKay is an Oscar-winning writer, director, and producer. His 
latest movie comedy, “Don’t Look Up,” follows a pair of astronomers 
attempting to raise the alarm about an oncoming comet. Some of McKay’s 
previous films include “Vice,” which received eight Academy Award 
nominations, and “The Big Short,” which earned McKay an Academy Award 
for best adapted screenplay. His producing credits include “Succession,” 
“Hustlers,” and an upcoming limited-series HBO adaptation of “Parasite,” 
the Oscar-winning film by Bong-Joon Ho./
