I need to watch this movie still. I’ve been wanting to watch it since it was brought up in a infotainment video I watched on YouTube. Now’s the perfect time to watch I guess.
I rewatched it a couple years ago for the first time in decades. It holds up surprisingly well for an 80s comedy. The scene where they explain how the futures market works is basically right out of an economics text book. Like, literally. I believe they got an economics professor who wrote one of the most influential text books to consult on those parts of the film.
If you want a fun chaser, watch Coming To America right after. There’s a bit of an easter egg cameo.
I guess cornering the market in Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice futures will be yet another anachronism, like taping a show or dialing a phone

Yeah, I may do that. I’m cooped up for the weekend for a knee surgery I had this morning.
Good luck healing up!
Thank you! Should be a breeze once I get through this weekend 🙂
What movie is that from?
