BTTB Presents: Deep Dives - “Boiler Room”

from Back To The Blockbuster · host Back To The Blockbuster

This week, we're cracking open the vault and dissecting Ben Younger's groundbreaking film, “Boiler Room,” on its 25th anniversary. More than just a flashy depiction of Wall Street greed, “Boiler Room” offered a starkly realistic look at the pressure-cooker environment of a pump-and-dump brokerage. We'll analyze Younger's directorial choices, Giovanni Ribisi's electrifying performance, and Vin Diesel's memorable supporting role. We'll also discuss the film's impact on the careers of Nia Long, Ben Affleck, Nicky Katt, Scott Caan, Tom Everett Scott, Ron Rifkin, and more! Joining us for his discussion is Paul of The Review Review Podcast who is on board to offer up some compelling insight on a film that he chose for us to deep dive as the film crosses this major milestone. Join us as we explore the film and why we think it should be allowed to stand up proudly alongside similar films of the genre that are much more well known. From its commentary on ambition, ethics, and the pursuit of the American Dream, “Boiler Room” is a film everyone should get familiar with.Links For Guests: The Review Review PodcastWhere To Watch Boiler Room
