December is the month we take stock. It’s the time when we gather with our loved ones, reflect on the year that’s past, and look forward to the year to come. Because of that, it makes it the perfect time to watch movies about the end of the world. Last year, Netflix took advantage of this with Don’t Look Up, the apocalyptic satire from Adam McKay that secured four Oscar noms including Best Picture. (See also: Bird Box and White Noise.)
