‘White Noise’ (Netflix)
Based on the 1985 novel by Don DeLillo, White Noise is an apocalypse tale with a healthy dose of black comedy.

Jack Gladney (Adam Driver), professor of Hitler studies at the College-on-the-Hill, husband to Babette (Greta Gerwig) and father to four children/stepchildren, is torn asunder by “the Airborne Toxic Event,” a cataclysmic train accident that casts chemical waste over his town.
