Don't Look Up (or how not to save the world)

A special episode this week where Cian gets to sit down with Meg Morrigan and Kiran Emrich to discuss and debate the Netflix sensation Don't Look Up. The panel debate if this is this an excellent film, inspired by Bertolt Brecht and dialectical materialism? Or is it just an overly-long, over-the-top, hard to watch non-comedy? 

Meg is a socialist activist with a background in film and theatre and wrote a positive review of the film for 'Reform & Revolution', a US sister publication to Rupture. However Kiran, PBP activist from Galway, is not so convinced by the film, leading to some interesting exchanges.
