Wall Street, the Movies, and the American State of Mind

Update: 2016-01-21

Description

Ever since the financial crisis of 2008, popular culture has attempted to capture the American people’s unique, combustible mix of confusion and rage. John Heilemann and Will Leitch take a look at the sleeper hit "The Big Short" and its predecessors, discuss the new Showtime show "Billions" with its co-creator, Brian Koppelman, and wonder aloud how it all ties in to the votes that will soon be cast in the presidential primaries.
