Episode 062: The Big Short

MG takes some inspiration from recent events - in this case, Reddit vs. the 1% - and looks back at Adam McKay's hilarious (read: wildly depressing) stock-market-horror movie The Big Short , starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt.MG takes some inspiration from recent events - in this case, Reddit vs. the 1% - and looks back at Adam McKay's hilarious (read: wildly depressing) stock-market-horror movie The Big Short , starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt.
