Episode #732: Wall Street (W❤️M) (Patreon)

“To this day, as of right now, as the words are coming out of my mouth… I have no clue how the stock market works!” - Andrew

On this month’s patron-selected We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re chatting about the absolutely fantastic cautionary tale, yes, folks, a cautionary tale, Oliver Stone’s Wall Street! How incredible is Michael Douglas in this movie? Does it get any better than that Talking Heads needle drop? How terribly miscast was Darryl Hannah in this? And how ugly is her character’s interior decoration job on Bud’s apartment? Was Gekko’s Hamptons beach house the same house from Weekend at Bernie’s? How many dummies watched this movie wrong and went on to get their MBAs? And how does Charlie do going toe-to-toe with dear, old Dad in their scenes together? PLUS: Did every rich idiot in the late-80s have a robot butler in their house?

Wall Street stars Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas, Darryl Hannah, Martin Sheen, John C. McGinley, Hal Holbrook, James Karen, Josh Mostel, Sean Young, James Spader, Saul Rubinek, and Terence Stamp as Sir Larry Wildman; directed by Oliver Stone.
