Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

"you're 20 minutes away"
"Five if you use the helicopter"

That was funny

The CDO manager did great acting.

"I assume no risk for these products myself, Mark".

The look on his face. Solid-gold lawful evil assholery. Dude should be cast in more things.

"His face is starting to boil, he looks like the bad guy from DUNE."

I lost it at that line.

"you know what i hate about banking... it reduces people to numbers." damn thats such a good quote

Brad PItt played his character so damn good in this movie.

I love how Steve Carell's character's hair gets more and more unkept as the scene continues.

Love this movie, I love how these conversations never happened they just invented them so stupid people like me can understand what’s going on 🤣 they way they talk to each other is like they are talking to idiots but really they are talking to the audience. Never felt so (rightly) patronised in my life, great movie.

Funny to think that the 2008-2009 crisis was some serious stuff and here we are now 15+ years later with people thinking that real estate and the stock market only goes up....

One thing the film doesn't touch on is the effect all this had on the Repo market which was even more devastating.
Banks loan each other money in exchange for "security" and the banks used these CDO's as security.
When it turned out they were all useless it left banks owning billions. It's how banks all across the world got hit by a US housing market collapse.

The best summary of this movie I've ever seen was something like this:

What's your favorite comedy movie? "The Big Short"
What's your favorite horror movie? Also "The Big Short"

That ending scene is one of my favorites "short everthing that guy has touched, I want half a billion more in swaps" "The collateral alone could bankrupt you" 😂😂😂

"Whoa, I just got really scared" is THE line in this movie.

The more this scene progresses, the more Steve starts to look exactly like Felonious Gru

"and i know what youre thinking : what the fuck IS a synthetic CDO" This movie is pure gold, one of its kind.

One thing I loved about this movie was the well done way they depicted the mid 00s zeitgeist. It was kinda the last pre social media era (the financial collapse happening nearly the exact same time modern era social media started)

Tyler Durden working from the inside now

Steve carrel did amazing

I am just glad Kendall Roy was able to pivot and jump to a career in finance after losing out on running his father's empire
