Oh now we're cooking.

Rio Mendoza

Oh this is a great film. I’m gonna watch right now. Thank you guys so much.

KG

This is one of the few movies I will watch whenever, wherever. It's fantastic. Another one is Moneyball. Both movies are based on books by Michael Lewis

N M

Wow. We’re starting to watch some more sophisticated material… could this be a by-product of enjoying Better Call Saul? I like it!

Stacey

FANTASTIC MOVIE - I worked in automotive and was laid off from 2 different companies in 2007 and 2008. I researched the roots of the financial crisis for my graduate final paper. It's such a tangled web, and it's a bit of history repeating 1930's. Laws put in place after the Great Depression were repealed.

Marco

Can y’all react to fruitvale station directed by Ryan Coogler? It’s about Oscar Grant who was murdered by Bay Area rapid transit police on New Year’s Day 2009.

Evil Pear

SAME, both movies, anytime.

Shaun Ellis

Michael Lynch

Darth Brooks

Justtired

Wonderful reaction. Definitely check out Moneyball. Also have a look at Spotlight. Very different subject matter but incredibly powerful

David Cansler

Love these kind of movies. The kind that'll stress u out just watching. Too Big to Fail is another movie about the 2008 crisis. It's a good one.

Andreas

I thought it´s scarytober where are all the horror movies?

Darth Brooks

VIP request overtakes their normal uploads. Plenty of scary movie uploads in the past week though in case you missed them.

asiaandbj

If you would like to see all the Horror movies tap on collections and look under the horror collection :)

Don

Great movie, Too big to fail is another one

Kyle Baker

Seems like a horror movie to me.

Marco

Please react to “pursuit of happyness” with will smith

JennaB

It's messed up that I wouldn't have my home if not for that 2008 collapse. There was a lot of mixed feelings when I moved in.

Rio Mendoza

That was a little rude. Anyway I hope you have a more enjoyable rest of the month. These two never disappoint us fans.

Stacey

Same. I lost 2 jobs bc of the collapse, but was able to get a better paying job in a different field. The additional incentives for first time home buyers and builders allowed me to build my home.

Stacey

🎯 . very scary time, especially for those of us who lived through it, lost jobs, retirement, etc.

Stacey

Thanks CalixYukon for this request 🥰

Dan Gershgol

I watched this when it came out. I forgot how well made it was.

Rose Dallman

Great movie. Asia made some salient comments at around 1:30. What she says is true. When someone wins, someone else loses. Pardon the soap boxing, but as someone who lived through the 70s and 80s, I felt compelled to make a comment. In the 70s, retirement funds like Valic and Fidelity made money hand over fist. Why? They were funded by bonds, bonds financed by the housing market that boomed like crazy. In the 80s those bonds were devalued significantly by the actions explained in the movie. Those people bet against the US economy, with the vision that the housing market had a beginning, a middle, and an end. It had to fail at some point, when there were no more houses to build, no more mortgages to finance. Those folks who had their retirement funds in housing bonds lost a lot of money. In April of 2022, Warren Buffet said: “Wall Street makes money, one way or another, catching the crumbs that fall off the table of capitalism. They don’t make money unless people do things, and they get a piece of them. They make a lot more money when people are gambling than when they are investing.” The stock market is not a casino. “If you start trading believing the market is a casino, you are likely to make bad "bets" and lose money - but if you trade in a disciplined, objective manner that follows a sound strategy, your investments are likely to pay off over time.”

Baron Imhoof

They did a great job in describing the entire 2008 crash in a few hours, and I really enjoyed watching people with more expertise in this area than I have react to it. In fact, wish I could ask your thoughts on one very key aspect they barely touched on, and that’s the income of the homeowners who had to make that monthly mortgage payment. Christian Bale’s character, the guy who first saw it coming, talked about how flat incomes would make it harder to pay the mortgages with variable rates, and the scenes in Florida concentrated on variable rates. But what wasn’t talked about was that every mortgage borrower, regardless of the rates, was having to pay a lot more just to get back and forth to work in order to earn that income. I looked it up, and the cost of a gallon of gas doubled from the year this movie started in 2005 to a few months before the crash in 2008. That meant less and less money every month to pay the mortgage while driving up the cost of anything that had to be shipped anywhere, be it food or clothes or durable goods: the inflation rate also doubled in that time. In my view, this was the key failure on the part of anyone not driven by nothing more than profit. When practically the entire economic system is based on people paying their debts coupled with wages that had already stagnated for years, and you double what they have to spend to earn those wages in the first place… it seems to me that was what really put our financial Titanic’s engines into warp speed. Apologies for the length. I'm full of coffee, and this film is a favorite.

Randy Ripley

Love this movie and loved the reaction! I've probably seen this 20 times. Full of lessons. A Bronx Tale is full of lessons too.

Jerry

The one thing the movie doesn't tell you - it's all thanks to Barney Frank (D) senator from MA. Congress pushed through laws to FORCE banks to offer and APPROVE sub-prime lending in the late 1990s.

Stacey

Lots of bad actions were taken by a hosts of people. Barney Frank was just one of them. Some could say that it started in 1999 when Clinton (and many other Dems & Reps) repealed the Glass Steagall Act without ensuring proper oversight was prepared and in place.

CALIXYUKON

Thanks guys!! ❤️👍

James Forrest

Just watched your superb review of this most excellent movie, and whilst I agree with Winston that Margin Call is a better movie, I think this one killed, I think it owned. The book on which it is based, written Michael Lewis, is even more amazing. He also wrote Moneyball and a book called The Fifth Risk, that's well worth a read. Really enjoyed watching this with you guys. It's a comedy, for sure, but so pitch black you don't want to laugh as much as you otherwise would have. A complex movie but you guys had it clocked from start to finish, and you watched with rapt fascination. Glad to see your reaction on this. Good work again good y'all.

Oscar Ortega

A great film. I love Steve Carell character. Another great film I think you should check out is Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Dustin Duvall

He didn't create nor force the banks to do CDOs.
