Don't Look Up. (mini-spoiler) This movie broke me. [View all]

Of course, I was high AF, but the scene where Leo was screaming on live TV...oh man. It was so cathartic, he screamed out everything I've been feeling and despairing since tfg was elected. Every moment over these last 5 years when I've felt like I was going mad because no one in charge could, or would, see that tfg and his entire administration had lost their fucking minds, and reality was an acid trip in a carnival funhouse. And now with the magats continuing the stupid with the anti-vax bullshit, I just want to take them by the lapels and shake them til their brains rattle! I cried so hard. And then at the end again, too.

This was a brilliant satire, unsubtle and harsh, and so perfectly on point it borders on becoming a tragedy. It IS tragic.

Required viewing for all humans.
