<p><i>[ 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.] <br>

<p><i><b>Adam McKay on How to Be Funny About the End of the World</b><br>
</i>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.<i><br>
</i></p>
<p><i>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.</i></p>
