LIVE EVENT: This Monday 8/22 at 7pm ET (4pm PT) on our weekly Callin show Lever Live, David Sirota will be joined by special guest Adam McKay, the Academy Award-winning writer and director of The Big Short and Vice. David and Adam will be answering questions from the audience live on-air about living through the past year of U.S. politics, which has felt eerily similar to the Oscar-nominated disaster movie they co-wrote, Don’t Look Up.
