Description

I have listened to Coast to Coast AM for many years, and one of the repeating guests I have not yet talked about on this show is James McCanney. His ideas can broadly be classified as falling into the Electric Universe model, and he is best known for his ideas about comets. It is these cometary ideas that are the focus of this Part 1 episode.

Don't Look Up: Adam McKay’s disaster satire is many things at once: a parable of our distracted society, a primal scream of a warning, and a comedy from the writer/director of Anchorman.
