Description

MG takes some inspiration from recent events - in this case, Reddit vs. the 1% - and looks back at Adam McKay's hilarious (read: wildly depressing) stock-market-horror movie The Big Short, starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt. Part documentary, part slick comedy, this incredibly inventive film is the rare example of a mainstream movie tackling an important and complex subject without dumbing it down or making it boring - and even more importantly, making it fun and rewatchable. Should we have expected this from the director of Anchorman?
