Ep. 74 - The Big Short
from From Under The Rock Hosted by Ben Wessels
This week, in the hopes of finding some light in the current darkness, Ben had the bright idea for us to watch a movie about a previous crisis, because I guess that would make us... feel better? Something about "things have been bad and we made it through before" or some nonsense like that. Anyways, this led to us watching "The Big Short," the 2015 film starring Christian Bale, Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt that chronicles the housing market bubble of the mid-2000s and its subsequent devastating crash in 2008. I feel like we learned a lot about how some of the shadier stuff in economics works, but feeling better? Yeah, that was very much not the result. Join us anyways though!
