Judd Apatow's "The Bubble" Is The Pandemic Comedy We Were Waiting For

5 min read

Netflix's new film, The Bubble, is a satirical comedy about the pandemic. It fields a battery of redoubtable comedy actors and sneaks in some funny cameos from other megastars (like Benedict Cumberbatch and Daisy Ridley).

Iris Apatow, Keegan-Michael Key, Pedro Pascal, and Fred Armisen are sitting for an interview

Allegedly inspired by the troubles that dogged the production of Jurassic World: Dominion, this Judd Apatow-directed movie follows the actors and production team of a dinosaur movie who are trapped within the COVID-19 bubble that their luxury hotel is. Totally cut off from the outside world and sometimes forced to isolate for two weeks in their respective rooms, the cast and crew start going crazy and adopt desperate and foolhardy ways to escape the shoot.
