Episode Details

This week we discuss the 2011 movie, Margin Call, which gives a glimpse into the early signs of the economic collapse of 2008. The movie stars Jeremy Irons, Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci, Paul Bettany, Demi Moore, Zachary Quinto, and Sam Baker. We discuss the climate of 2008 during the economic crisis, the ideas of “fair play” in the banking industry, how good villains are memorable in movies, whether people should have any loyalty to companies that fire them and if there is really anything that money can’t buy.
