We liquidated all of the assets on our balance sheet based on this movie into our microphones for your listening pleasure. In honor of our movie this week, the 2011 financial meltdown classic starring Jeremy Irons, we also had a fun late stage capitalism discussion around the most recent near apocalyptic financial meltdowns and the impending AI bubble pop!
