This just in: Yesterday, I watched the Netflix movie “Don’t Look Up.” I was amazed by the number of A-list actors so I thought I would give it a go.

The movie is a spoof on the Trump administration and the way it handled the COVID pandemic.

The president is played by Merle Streep and her Chief of staff is the president’s idiot son.

A comet is discovered that will hit Earth with 100% certainty. When this is explained to the president, she replies with, “Let’s take some time to assess this.” She doesn’t want it to be made public because it might hurt her poll numbers.

As the truth gets out, the President starts to hold rallies. Since the comet is now visible to the naked eye, she promotes the saying, “Don’t look up.” She says things like, “They want you to be afraid. Be an American and refuse to look up.”

Polls show some Americans are afraid, some are not and a large portion don’t believe there is a comet (remember, it is visible).

As the comet nears Earth and panic sets in, a news cast (Fox) completely ignores this and runs a segment, “That all of America is talking about – topless elder care facilities.” or something like that.

To completely understand this movie, take our current “Pandemic” and substitute “Comet”. This really brings out how criminal Trump was; how negligent Fox news is and how clueless about 30% of the population is.

As I watched this had two thoughts in the following order: (1) This will show those Trump supporters how stupid they have looked to the rest of the world and (2) The Trump supporters will watch this entire movie and not know it is about them.

Alas…

Time to save the world.

Up, up and away…
