” made the genesis of the Air Jordan sneaker and the world’s first smartphone seem weighty and epic — not to mention a lot of fun.
Our man is Keith Gill , a k a Roaring Kitty, the popular investment analyst YouTuber who shook up Wall Street. A far cry from those “buy buy buy!” guys on cable news, soft-spoken Keith wears a red ninja sash around his head and sits in his Brockton, Mass., basement doling out financial advice to his mostly young, intensely devoted followers.
The gist of Gillespie’s dumb movie is that a mighty group of average Joes wrestle control of Wall Street from the 1%. Taken by itself, that’s an undeniably compelling premise and, hey, Adam McKay managed to make the 2008 mortgage crisis engaging and even funny in “The Big Short.” But McKay’s film guided viewers by the hand, cleverly explained tricky concepts and did not hit us over the head with its own importance.
Beyond Keith, his loudmouth brother Kevin and wife , we’re introduced to two camps: the haves and havenots. The snarling wealthy villains are Melvin Capital founder Gabe Plotkin , Citadel CEO Ken Griffin , hedge fund manager and Mets owner Steve Cohen and creators of the investing app Robinhood, Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt .
