Badlands Story Hour Ep 138: Margin Call

Burning Bright and Chris Paul break down Margin Call, a film that captures the cold, calculated collapse of Wall Street’s moral compass. The hosts dissect the movie’s depiction of greed, systemic evil, and the psychology behind financial power, drawing parallels between the 2008 crash and the controlled demolitions shaping today’s world economy. They unpack the symbolism behind Jeremy Irons’ “moral relativists,” the engineered volatility of markets, and how this film exposes the illusion of complexity that shields corruption. The conversation moves from macroeconomics to modern geopolitics, connecting Trump, China, and the Sovereign Alliance to the real-world financial “margin calls” happening now. Sharp, cinematic, and intellectually loaded, this episode turns a film review into a masterclass on power, perception, and financial warfare.
