Seemed less like Idiocracy (smart comedy pointing out a real issue in a funny way) and much more like Dr Strangelove - a nihilistic crazy comedy showing how the way the system is setup is dooming us all.
The main difference from both is that Don’t Look Up is completely implausible. Also, it isn’t very funny. But I guess people are eager to overlook that if it validates their political biases.
Anyway, since Idiocracy couldn’t be made today due to the PC crowd yelling "eugenics", it is in a way a modern replacement, made straight for the woke crowd with pronouns in their Twitter bio.
