Don’t Look Up the Answers (with Adam McKay)

Greg Olear talks to filmmaker Adam McKay, writer/director of THE BIG SHORT, VICE, and DON’T LOOK UP, and executive producer of SUCCESSION and WINNING TIME, about the state of the Democratic party, why populist movements can be good, how Biden’s doing, the difference between satire and comedy, IDIOCRACY, his career including his latest films and shows, the Lakers then and now, the sad travails of being a Knicks fan, and the all-time greatest acting performance by a pro athlete. Plus: a new parlor game for the GOP.
