A little reminder of LCA, a really great climate / film discussion pod - the only reason I struggle to keep up is bc I can't find time to watch the actual films before listening lol
Great stuff
Thanks, Ketan! 🙏

ICYMI: Our latest episode is about Flow - an animation following the story of an adorable black cat 🐈⬛ surviving a devastating flood. 🏆 It's an Oscar winner for a reason, but is it really a climate film? 🎧: shows.acast.com/lights-clima...

🌪️ Would you want to watch a climate disaster unfold in 4DX? That’s a question we asked in our latest episode of Lights, Climate, Action. In our episode all about Twisters, we discuss what it means for a modern-day disaster movie to *not* mention climate change.

A meme depicting Jon Hamm's character in Landman lying on his death bed in hospital with fossil fuel logos placed on top. It reads 'fossil fuel companies' climate targets in 2025:'
A meme depicting Paulina Chavez' character crying in Landman which reads 'Landman: *mentions misinformation about renewable energy* me:'
The car swerving meme which reads 'seriously address climate and renewable energy' and a car heading towards text that reads 'make tommy talk to his daughter about sex, again'
🥵 Tommy Norris and his daughter have made it quite clear that the planet isn’t the only thing getting drilled in Landman 🫠 tap for more memes 👇 tap for the podcast 👉 shows.acast.com/lights-clima...
