54 mins
Jan. 5, 2022
The new film Don’t Look Up, a climate change allegory starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, became a hit for Netflix. But why is it dividing critics so intensely? And Showtime’s Yellowjackets and HBO’s Station Eleven are the most buzzy shows out right now. They’re also really dark. Are we finally ready to have our grim reality reflected in our TV? In this week's Drop It In The Group Chat we talk bell hook's and All About Love, Betty White and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Insecure, plus, Joan Didion and Slouching Towards Bethlehem. Segments Warm Up Question (Anti-New Year's Resolutions) - 00:01:55 Don't Look Up - 00:05:00 Yellowjackets / Station Eleven - 00:25:40 Drop It In The Group Chat - 00:41:20
