For this week’s main podcast review, I am joined by Lauren Cohen, Josh Parham & Dan Bayer to discuss the latest film from Craig Gillespie, “Dumb Money” starring Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley & Seth Rogen. Telling the 2021 story of the Gamestop short squeeze, which rocked Wall Street and made a lot of people fifty rich in the process, the film had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews but what did we think of it? Tune in as we discuss the performances, Gillespie’s direction, how well the film explains its complex financial premise, and how it compares to other films such as “The Social Network,” “Moneyball,” “The Big Short” and more. Thank you, and enjoy!
