How It Ends (2021)

Indie filmmaking fave Zoe Lister-Jones, the writer, director and star of Band-Aid (2017), is back with her follow-up film How It Ends (2021), co-written and co-directed with her now ex-spouse Daryl Wein. Described as a feel-good apocalyptic comedy, the film centers around an imminent disaster as a meteorite hurtling toward the Earth is currently on track to bring an end to life as we know it. Liza (Lister-Jones) gets an invitation to a final end of the world party across town, sending her on a journey to the party accompanied by the embodiment of her younger self—played by Mare of Easttown's Cailee Spaeny—as she encounters an increasingly eclectic cast of characters from her past and present including such familiar faces as Olivia Wilde, Helen Hunt, Fred Armisen, Nick Kroll, Bradley Whitford, and Paul Scheer. Our personal fave is when she runs across funny lady Whitney Cummings who is riding a bike in a barely-there bikini that shows off most of her breasts except for her nipples! Talk about going out on a high note!
