07/05/23 • 60 min
Sound the alarm! It's July and Debaser is entering FINANCIAL CRISIS MONTH! Will and Jared begin by covering what is perhaps the most appropriate film for the theme: Adam McKay's The Big Short.
Can the guys adequately explain the cause of the 2007/2008 Financial Crisis? Are the protagonists of this film anti-heroes? Do the fourth-wall breaking celebrity cameos succeed in explaining difficult concepts? All these and more answered in this episode of Debaser!

Next Episode
99 Homes (2014)
Will & Jared tackle a more personal and moralistic film for the second entry in Financial Crisis Month: 99 Homes. Michael Shannon, Andrew Garfield, and Laura Dern star in a drama depicting the personal toll the Financial Crisis took on the working class people that lost their homes. Does Garfield have the range to play a Floridian construction worker? Is Michael Shannon convincingly evil? How accurate is the eviction process as shown in the film? Will Jared's specific knowledge of the Orange County Clerk of Courts come into play? All these questions and more will be answered in this episode of Debaser!
Our outro for this episode is the track Progress Isnt Linear by Purrfect.
