Dumb Money (released 9/15/23)

If this movie taught me anything, it’s hindsight is 20/20. If only I had invested in Gamestop when this all happened. The retelling of the meme stock of Gamestop was a rather enjoyable one. They got a bunch of huge name actors in this thing. Dane Dehaan is a fantastic actor and all he played was a freaking Gamestop manager. The Riddler himself played our stock leader. The movie is super funny and never takes itself too seriously. The story moved along at a great pace. Seeing the executives sweat was mmm chefs kiss. This is a really fun way of seeing how the debacle went down. I highly recommend watching it at some point.
