Episode 29: BlackBerry

from Today's Review of Assorted Cinema · host TRAC-Cast

From Matthew Johnson comes the story of one fruity phone company that's so good, it has to be true…ish. It's a BlackBerry! Johnson and Jay Baruchel star as Doug Fregin and Mike Lazaridis, two lifelong friends who started a tech revolution along with Jim Balsillie, a man who I can only describe as a political cartoon character with the word “CAPITALISM” written on his forehead. This dramatized account of the rise and fall of the legendary mobile device puts a spotlight on the opposite ends of the workplace spectrum. Do you side with the fun-loving pop culture boss man who enjoys movie nights? Or will you side with the evil boss man who hates fun and loves only money and his precious hockey?Trevor Gregory: Host, ProducerRyan Wagner: Host, EditorAref Aboud: Host, ProducerChristian Starck: Host, WriterSocials:Gmail: [email protected]: @TRAC_CastInstagram: @trac_castLetterboxd: TheTRACcast
