The GameStop stock event isn't just a meme for our times, but a reflection of what we're doing about inequality. Our Dumb Money review:
. That film had to explain to audiences how the 2007-2008 financial crisis caused the housing market bubble to burst, using a bunch of investor characters who needed to unpack it while not leaving us in immediate comas.The Big Short
because screenwriters Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo broaden the circle of impact to include people from all walks of life. There’s in-the-trenches GameStop retail associate Marcus who actively suffers the company’s binder full of mandatory sales goals. Or the college girlfriends looking to tackle their loan debt, and maybe an anarchic cause. Arguably the most effective is America Ferrera’s single mom and frontline pandemic nurse, Jen Campbell.
The ensemble is also extremely well cast with comedians and character actors who are adept in conveying a lot of heavy stock market exposition in grounded, witty and absorbing ways. Pete Davidson in particular is a welcome idiot as Keith’s burnout brother, Kev, who both gleefully busts on and supports his brother’s internet fame.
Gillespie also slyly uses a lot of energetic hip-hop and rock needledrops to reinforce the anti-establishment themes, while Will Bates’ synth-heavy score accentuates the techy vibe with a bit of a heist undertone throughout. And all the props for the sheer cheek of using Cardi B’s “WAP” as a first needledrop to both establish the excess of hedge fund manager Gabe Plotkin’s obnoxious wealth, and forever connect that song with the protagonist’s social media handle, Roaring Kitty. No notes.
Roaring Kitty and his acolytes don’t overhaul the financial world, but they make a bit of a dent in it. Whatdoes very well is show that the GameStop stock story is more than just a meme for our times, but a first stone in the pond with a ripple effect that’s still a work in progress.
