Alice Oliver and Josh Hallam (Just Films & That podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Alice’s choice The Big Short.

The Big Short (2015) is based on the true story of the 2007-2008 financial crash. Based on the book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis and directed by Adam (Step Brothers) McKay.

The Big Short tells the story of the financial crash from three separate experiences. Michael (Christian Bale) Burry, a hedge fund manager with a love of drumming and Metallica, discovers that the housing market is extremely unstable and he makes a bet against the market. Jared (Ryan Gosling) Vennett, a Deutsche Bank salesman, finds out about Burry’s analysis and uses this information to profit off the crash. An accidental phone call brings in Mark (Steve Carell) Baum and his team who expose that mortgage brokers are selling bad mortgages and use this to their advantage and profit as well.

Watching The Big Short may leave you with more questions that answers, like why do they all have bad wigs, why is Margot Robbie in a bath and what exactly is a short?

Recommendation scores for The Big Short were very high, due to its dense subject matter and runtime it received lower repeat viewing scores to give an overall rating of 4.51.
