On our weekly Callin show, Lever Live, David Sirota was joined by special guest Adam McKay, the Academy Award-winning writer and director of Don’t Look Up, Vice, and The Big Short. They also took questions from the audience LIVE on-air.
David and Adam took questions from the audience about living through the past year of U.S. politics, which at times has felt eerily similar to the Oscar-nominated disaster movie they co-wrote, Don’t Look Up:
• How did the two take all the pushback they recently received for criticizing the Inflation Reduction Act?
• What do they think of the BBC news clip which went viral for echoing their movie?
• What do they believe the role of modern satire should be?
