Bailout. 

Bailout is a muck-raking doc-hybrid that explores the causes and effects of America’s financial crisis: after former lawyer John Titus lost his job as a big-firm lawyer, he withholds his mortgage payment from a major bailout bank for several months. Seeing his friend rack up tens of thousands of dollars, comic John Fox wheedles Titus into taking a 1986 Winnebago excursion to the Las Vegas Tropicana where Fox has a stand-up gig. Three unemployed friends join them for a frenetic party of gambling and vice at ground zero of the foreclosure storm caused by the financial crisis. Zerohedge states that the film is ’a cross between Michael Moore and Hunter S. Thompson.’ With outstanding Interviews with some of the top financial minds in the US, including Karl Denninger, Yves Smith (Naked Capitalism) and Christopher Whalen, as well as journalists Chris Hedges, Dylan Ratigan, political commentator Noam Chomsky and former hedge funder and DailyBail.com publisher Steve Megremis. It’s a gritty movie, with frequent swearing, and heartbreaking interviews with down-and-out people who have lost their houses. It is also a must-see movie … both because of it’s hard-hitting expose on Wall Street fraud, and because it shows the effect of that fraud on Viewer beware. The ever brilliant William Banzai was involved with creative input in the movie (and provided some of the graphics).
