January 10, 2022: Damon vs. DiCaprio and "Don't Look Up"
Listen to this show:
Pop-up player!
Tonight: Damon vs. DiCaprio and Don't Look Up: While Matt Damon shills for crypto-bro fantasies, DiCaprio and the new movie Don't Look Up give a realistic view of our moment. Today, praising dystopian truth-tellers.

• Elizabeth Holmes is found guilty of four counts of fraud (Jan 3, 2022)
• Cryptoland video, which apparently is not a parody (?!)... see in particular these comments by Molly White.
• Don't Look Up trailer - featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, and Mark Rylance
• Matt Damon's crypto-shilling commercial
• Mark Zuckerberg Is TNR’s 2021 Scoundrel of the Year (by David Roth in The New Republic, Dec 22, 2021): “There are many things to abhor about Mark Zuckerberg and his works, but the fundamental mediocrity of it all - the lack of vision, the absence of any moral sense or shame, the inability and unwillingness not just to fix but even reckon with the dangerous and ungovernable thing he’s made - is what feels both most egregious and most of this moment. It is embarrassing and not a little enraging to realize that you are subject to the whims of an amoral and incurious capitalist posing as a visionary optimist. It is especially humiliating when the all-bestriding and inevitable figure in question is such a dim, dull nullity. . . . The nitwit founder of Facebook has created the worst, most damaging website in the world. And we’re just supposed to accept it.”
