”Don’t Look Up” Reviewed + Asteroid Mining and a Great End-of-the-World Chicken Recipe

Brandon and Stephen dig into Adam McKay's new climate-change-apocalypse parable Don't Look Up and spin out on the state of journalism, satire, and whether American comedy can handle existential threats (or even the quietly sad).

Brandon goes in search of answers about how big a business asteroid mining might really be, and Stephen shares a favorite chicken recipe for when it all falls apart.

Find a spot at the table, grab the wine, and remember that the future is somewhere else.

 

Notes

All kinds of people are getting into the heavenly-body business (or trying to), like rapper Lil Uzi Vert. Even clickbait news coverage of "impending" asteroid impacts are now slapping a price on the things. Know your rights!

Start with the Outer Space Treaty and read up on some of the other rules — including why claims to asteroids, planets, or anything else floating around up there are legally dicey.
