type that is somehow even more punchable than Hill’s preening self-parody in This Is The End. Jonah Hill plays Orlean’s lackey son and Chief of Staff, a Donald Trump Jr. But when the pair finally do make meaningful contact with the bureaucratic oaf, her administration isn’t concerned with how the researchers’ outer space expertise could save the planet - only how it could impact their interests. The scientists struggle to be heard at first. Panicked by their findings, the scientists call in the hapless United States government, helmed by a clearly Trump-inspired Meryl Streep as chain-smoking President Janie Orlean. Randall Mindy and PhD candidate Kate Dibiasky, who open the film by discovering a massive meteoroid on a collision course with Earth. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence star as astronmers, Dr. But is enlightening the already enlightened productive or pointless? If you know even a fraction of how fucked we really are, then it’ll land with you. Yet it's the sense that nothing in McKay's outrageous satire is all that distorted from "the real thing" that makes watching it so agonizing. Like a funhouse mirror, Don't Look Up stretches and shrinks real elements from our world to the point of searing mockery.
