Great movie. The section on synthetic CDOs was worth the price of the ticket.

I saw it too. It was like reliving 2008 when I started SIV0.com, now DerivativesCollapse.com (http://www.siv0.com) (largely abandoned at this time).

On this episode, we cover the 2015 Biographical Comedy/Drama 'The Big Short'. The film chronicles the lives and experiences of several key stock traders on Wall Street during the 2008 financial crash. Like numerous other films and documentaries on this particular subject; the film provides audiences with a humorous and hallowing insight into 'Wall St culture' and the events leading up to the crash, whilst inciting a strong sense of outrage and indignation over the injustices perpetrated upon the general public - both then and now.
