Episode 184
One of the most incredible business stories we've covered on First Move was the GameStop saga of 2021. It was a David vs. Goliath story where a bunch of smaller investors, many of them over the internet, took on some of the biggest hedge funds in the world. Now that saga has been turned into the movie Dumb Money featuring an ensemble cast that includes Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vinent D'Onofrio, Nick Offerman, Shailene Woodly, and Seth Rogen. Joining Julia to discuss are the film's cowriters, Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum.

The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.
Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
