“Don’t Look Up” has become the second most-watched film on Netflix.
However, the climate change parody has received mixed reviews.
Creator Adam McKay said that he had anticipated some of the controversy.
“You’re never going to make a movie to appeal to everyone,” he said.
“Comedy is always subjective,” he added.
He said that the main point was to “get this urgency out there.”
He says that science says climate change is “far worse than we thought.”
He added that he wanted people to laugh to give them “some perspective.”
“Don’t Look Up” is currently available to stream on Netflix.
