If "The Social Network", "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "The Big Short" were all mixed in a blender, "Dumb Money" would come out of it. What a pleasure is when the movie is as great as it's trailer.

Aware of this, the editing department was shrewd enough to add clips of Christian Bale playing the drums while screaming in "The Big Short", and the iconic scene of Matthew McConaughey humming while hitting his chest with his fist in "The Wolf of Wall Street".

The cherry on top: Dumb Money's script was adapted from Ben Mezrich's "The Antisocial Network: The GameStop Short Squeeze and the Ragtag Group of Amateur Traders That Brought Wall Street to Its Knees", the very same dude that wrote "The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal", which was adapted of course in David Fincher's masterpiece "The Social Network".

Although the comparisons with it's predecesors, Dumb Money has an identity of its own: a battle between The Little Guy and The Elite, depicted in a staggering way that you can feel the characters' emotions strongly real.

The mere idea of putting Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Nick Offerman, Vincent D'Onofrio, Sebastian Stan, Pete Davidson in a movie together is compelling enough, add a true story script and a phenomenal soundtrack, and there you have it, one of the greatest films of the year, imo.

I do have two complains though: the first, and I don't say this often, in fact, very very rarely, that the movie should've last longer, or maybe I was too enjoyed that it just felt too short, I was craving for more!; the second: there are a few things regarding the financial context that didn't fully understood, maybe I was hoping for Margot Robbie, Anthony Bourdain, Richard Thaler & Selena Gomez to explain them to me? ("The Big Short" reference, in case you didn't get it).

This is what one would actually expect by a title like that, this is what should be called: The Flash in the Multiverse of Madness, not that dull Doctor Strange movie which only had a few characters introduced to the multiverse.

In spite of not having a great script, The Flash is both funny and highly entertaining, and also a box after box of surprises that never crossed my mind to see in the movie.

The trailer looked great simply by seeing Michael Keaton's Batman was in it, I mean that was the best hook for us old schoolers (millenials if you will), buuuut all the other appearances and cameos, physical or digital, totally left me in awe.

No spoilers here, go and experience this madness of timelines by yourself, you'll love it specially if you are an 80's/90's kid/teenager.

Black Mirror comes back with a so far up-to-the-hype season (just finished this second episode), and let me tell you, I felt the same chill in my heart and body that 'Shut Up and Dance' (S3E03) left me with.

The writers of BM may constantly rely on sci-fi for the scripts, but once in a while they go the other way, and leave thecnology as a minor element in the story, barely there, and when they do that, they score handsomely. This is one of those cases.

This is, without hesitation, one of the best plot twists I have ever seen, but it's so well written, that makes you think a few answers before it finally makes it's shocking entrance. Highly, highly recommended.
