The movie brings to life the audacious tale of how a group of retail traders, propelled by the camaraderie fostered on social media platforms like Reddit's WallStreetBets, reshaped the financial landscape by catapulting GameStop, a struggling video game retailer, into the limelight as the hottest company on the planet.In the early months of 2021, these retail traders identified a vulnerability in the market – GameStop was inundated with significant short positions held by hedge funds and institutional investors. These financial giants had essentially bet against the company's success, banking on its stock price plummeting.Recognizing this unique circumstance, the retail traders seized an opportunity to disrupt the game. They united, strategically buying and holding shares, setting the stage for a thrilling “short squeeze.” A short squeeze is a phenomenon where a heavily shorted stock's value skyrockets swiftly, compelling short sellers to scramble and purchase shares to cover their positions and mitigate their losses. This buying frenzy initiated by the short sellers further propelled the stock price, creating a whirlwind effect.Join Cody Aaron Hanify, Shannon Mahaffey, and J.T.

    “You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business; we in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, business is a-boomin'.” Shannon takes another trip down Tarantino lane and we get her reaction to the film nerd's prodigy and his 6th film made for the screen, which he spent almost a decade working on the script. While this film is only 30 percent in english, we get to know how Shannon feels about this period film about killing Nazi's. Fun fact: This is the first Quentin Tarantino film to win an Oscar for acting and that went to the brilliant Christoph Waltz for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Imdb shares a quick synopsis of the film: “In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same.” We have all had plenty of time to see this movie, but we understand Sahnnon's excuse. Tune in, and get to know her thoughts on yet another Quentin Tarantino film on today's installment of Shannon's List. - INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS - WRITTEN & DIRECTED BYQuentin Tarantino STARRINGBrad PittMélanie LaurentChristoph WaltzEli RothMichael FassbenderDiane KrugerDaniel BrühlTil SchweigerGedeon BurkhardJacky IdoB.J.
