Episode 146 - Margin Call

This week, we’re taking a look at a small, mostly overlooked film about the housing bubble crash of 2009. Why? First, because while “The Big Short” was certainly a good film, this is more about the mechanics of what sank our economy and the kinds of people who made those decisions. Second, and more importantly, right now we’re on the brink of a major economic collapse and it pays to be mentally prepared for disaster. With an all-star cast of players at the tops of their game, and a script that moves like a breeze through difficult technical economics, we three will tell you all the reasons you need to watch this film on your next Amazon Prime binge. (Which, if you’re still under quarantine, probably starts in about 10 minutes.) | 0:00 - Intros | 9:14 - Cannonball Run II (1984) | 18:00 - Speed Racer (2008) | 25:40 - Man Seeking Woman | 28:06 - The Imagineering Story (2019) | 31:09 - Star Trek: Voyager | 36:00 - Margin Call (2011) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Flying Lizards - Money | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Ray Stevens - Cannonball | Menudo - Like a Cannonball | Ali Dee and the The Deekompressors - Go Speed Racer Go | Photay - Reconstruct (feat Seafloor) | Theme from The Imagineering Story | Jerry Goldsmith - Star Trek Voyager (Main Title) | Buddy Hackett - Shipoopi | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Nathan Larson - Margin Call | Cardi B - Money
