Interviews 2/9/2022
Adam McKay - Director
"The idea for the movie came from talking with David Sirota who's a journalist, a speechwriter that I've known for years. We've always been trying to talk about what is the way to encapsulate the looming giant threats that we're facing in this world. First of which would be the climate crisis.
We wanted to make a movie that makes you laugh out loud. We wanted people to actually laugh. After these last 2 years, we need a good laugh. So that was a big part of it.
What the movie's really about is all the f-up bizarre, strange dysfunctional ways that we now talk to each other through social media and TV."
Cate Blanchett - "Brie Evantee"
"I started talking to Adam about this over 18 months ago. He described this character about this talk
show host. When I read the script, I thought, this is so possible."
I think, "Don't Look Up" is about the inability or the refusal to deal with reality."
Dr. Amy Mainzer - Science Consultant
"I had a great time working on this movie because it was a lot of fun working with really smart people who deeply care about the role of science in society.
I spent a lot of time talking with Adam, Leo, and Jennifer about just how do we convey what scientists feel about the information that we're learning and what do we do?
The comet is about 9 kilometers across and it's first spotted by Jennifer Lawrence's character."
Hank Corwin - Editor
"I'd be thrilled if people in an audience were able to realize that you have to believe in the truth. It's really that simple."
Himesh Patel - "Phillip"
"Don't Look Up is about 2 scientists who discover that there is a massive comet headed towards earth which would cause destruction and the death of humanity.
I play Phillip Kaj, who is the boyfriend of Kate Dibiasky played by Jennifer Lawrence.
He is a journalist. He makes a choice which is to become some sort of expert on everything that's happening. He removes himself from Kate's life and kind of goes on his own weird little journey."
Jennifer Lawrence - "Kate Dibiasky"
"It's the funniest script maybe I've ever read.
Kate Dibiasky is a student in astronomy at Michigan State. She ends up discovering a comet. When she tries to tell this news to the rest of the world she is met with resistance. The film is about how people react to a scary truth."
Kevin J. Messick - Producer
"Don't Look Up is the story of 2 low-level Astronomers who make the biggest discovery of their lives. A comet is headed towards earth and nobody cares."
Leonardo DiCaprio - "Dr. Randall Mindy"
"If I were to describe, Don't Look Up in a nutshell, it would be an analogy of modern-day culture and our inability to hear and listen to scientific truth."
Dr. Randall Mindy is an astronomer from Michigan State, not necessarily a high-level astronomer, but happens to be in the right or wrong place in time. His student discovers a comet is hurtling its way towards Earth. They do the calculations together and notify the government. So they keep trying to re-articulating the issue and the government tries to negotiate the percentage of probability of what's going to happen to humanity.
It brings up anxiety and panic to him (Dr. Randall Mindy).
They understood that the administration that doesn't fundamentally believe in the facts and the truth. So they decide to go rogue and ultimately reach out to the news."
Mark Rylance - "Peter Isherwell"
"Don't Look Up is a very difficult film to describe in words, which is how every piece of art should really be. If you can do it in words, why, make it.
I don't want to really go into telling you what the story is because that would take away the great delight."
Meryl Streep - "President Janie Orlean"
"I thought the script was really great, important, and really funny. I had no idea what everybody else was doing and when I saw the movie, I thought it was the most important movie of my lifetime.
I had a lot of fun working with Jonah Hill. He was really fun to be with."
Rob Morgan - "Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe"
"Don't Look Up is a story of 2 low-level astronomers who go on this giant media tour to alert the world that the end of the world could really be approaching. But nobody cares.
Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe's job is to clean the junk in outer space."
Scott Mescudi - "DJ Chello"
"Don't Look Up is pretty much about a comet coming to destroy the earth, and no one's taking it seriously.
DJ Chello is a huge Dj you meet at the beginning of a movie who is coming out of a relationship with Riley Dina, who's a huge pop star."
Tyler Perry - "Jack Bremmer"
"Don't Look Up is about something that I hope never happens in this world as long as we're alive.
Jack Bremmer is a news anchor who works at the Daily Rip. He's is on one of those shows that people like to tune in on cable networks.
Jack is just trying to get through the day. He is just trying to make the show, get through the segments and that's what his focus is. He doesn't really care. He just wants to get out of there."

Muted Alea Media Netflix #whatonwhatgood Express Review Muted (El Silencio) is a crime-mystery-drama series. It follows Sergio Ciscar who murdered his parents and was incarcerated for 6 years. Since then, he hasn't said a word. Once he leaves jail, the authorities still want to keep an eye on him. They want to know if he is a danger to society and why he murdered his parents.

Description Sergio Ciscar is released from prison 6 years after having killed his parents when he was still underaged. During that time, Sergio hasn’t said a word nor has collaborated with the justice system, so the motivations for the crime and the intentions he has by now are a mystery.

The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world. I don't think anyone can dislike him. Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer). He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney). Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community. Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone? The series is quite amusing. Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps...

My Rating 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood Rating 52% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel are about to get married but they are suddenly threatened by pirates. Can they work together to save their family and friends? There were a few funny moments in the film. The cast is pretty decent. It was your typical rom-com movie. Nothing really special to report but if you are looking for something easy to watch you might want to check it out. Directed by Jason Moore Written by Mark Hammer Produced by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Jennifer Lopez, Benny Medina, David Hobe...
Black-ish ABC Signature/Khalabo Ink Society/Cinema Gypsy Productions/Principato-Young Entertainment (2014–18) Artists First (2018–)/Disney–ABC Domestic Television #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "Black-ish is about an upper-middle-class Black family. It includes marketing exec Andre “Dre” Johnson (Anthony Anderson), anesthesiologist and Andre's wife Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), their eldest daughter Zoey (Yara Shahidi) their nerdy son Junior (Marcus Scribner), and their twins Jack (Miles Brown) and Diane (Marsai Martin). Throughout the show, Dre is always concerned about raising his children "right" and loves to get others' opinions including his father (Laurence Fishburne), his mother (Jenifer Lewis), his boss Leslie Stevens (Peter Mackenzie), his co-workers Josh Oppenhol (Jeff Meacham) and Charlie Telphy (Deon Cole) and family members, neighbors and many more. I must say Black-ish definitely tackles topics you don't really see on te...
The Man from Toronto (2022) Columbia Pictures, Bron Creative, Escape Artists Netflix Release date June 24, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) The Man From Toronto is a decent action flick. I must say Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson work very well together in this action-comedy film. Basically in this movie, you have a case of mistaken identity. Let's just say that Teddy Jackson (Kevin Hart), an out of work gym membership salesman, walked into the wrong room and now everyone thinks he is the world’s deadliest killer, “The Man from Toronto”. (MFT) What will happen when "The Man from Toronto" (Woody Harrelson) meets Teddy? The other cast members (Kaley Cuoco, Jasmine Mathews, Lela Loren, Pierson Fode, Jencarlos Canela, and Ellen Barkin) really add some excitement to the storyline. Let's hope Hart and Harrelson can team up again on another adventure. Directed by Patrick Hughes Screenplay by Robbie Fox and Chris Bre...
