Episode 15: The Wolf of Wall Street - Blind Buys | Lyssna här

Money is the real drug!

This week, Josh and Jesse discuss Josh’s pick, The Wolf of Wall Street! They dive deep into Jordan Belfort’s descent into a world of sex, drugs, and cash, and explore the wealth (pun intended) of character actors in the film. Before that, they share their thoughts about The Odyssey, plus upcoming releases from Umbrella, Criterion, and more!
