Janie Orlean is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Peter Isherwell) in 2021 Netflix satirical black comedy film Don't Look Up.

She was portrayed by Meryl Streep.

What Makes Her a Hate Sink?[]

  • She treats the main protagonists with apathy, refusing to take their warnings about the incoming comet seriously.
  • Although she takes action by ordering the comet to be destroyed, she later agrees with Isherwellā€™s plan to mine the comet rather than destroy it.
  • She starts a smear campaign called "Don't Look Up" against Kate and Randall in response to their ā€œJust Look Upā€ movement.
  • She is shown to have a callous disregard for rules and responsibilities.
  • She cuts China, India and Russia off from the deflection mission.
  • When the drone mission failed, she and Isherwell left with the excuse to "go the toilet" while in reality, they cowardly ran away to the escape pod, leaving the rest of humanity to die.
    • In the process, she inadvertently leaves her own son Jason behind.
  • Overall, her actions all led to humanity's extinction when the comet strikes the Earth.
