Episode 26: Don’t Look Up and death anxiety, aka Steph makes her psychologist proud

TRANSCRIPT HERE

In this episode, Steph gets deep on her biggest trigger of anxiety, end of life and the end of the world - as we dissect 2021's Netflix hit Don't Look Up, directed by Adam McKay. Does the film depict climate and death anxiety well, and does it do anything to help the cause? Or does it try to do too much? It's the most political we get in a while... right wingers beware! Also we disrespect Mark Rylance in the name of neurodiverse representation. Sorrynotsorry.

Please watch Adam McKay’s toddler be timelessly incredible: The Landlord [UNCENSORED]

 

Content Warning: suicide, panic attack, death, end of life, afterlife, end of the world, swearing. Steph and Michael use some ableist words at times, we apologise (the tension was high in this one)
