Описание: THE WOLF OF WALL STREET: Scorsese’s 3-Hour Descent into Greed and Depravity 💸

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) is more than just a movie—it’s a three-hour "Wagyu burger" of cinematic chaos. We’re breaking down why Martin Scorsese’s $100M epic was actually financed by the very crimes it depicts and whether it’s a brilliant satire or just the ultimate recruitment video for finance bros.

Season 2 officially kicks off with our brand-new permanent co-host, Mariana Barksdale, joining the couch! We’re diving into the absolute depravity of Jordan Belfort’s memoir, the "Lamborghini crawl" that Leo choreographed using YouTube, and why Jonah Hill took a massive pay cut just to get a seat at Marty’s table.

🚀 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

The Stolen Money Scandal: In a twist of total irony, over $100 million was allegedly laundered through the production of this movie by the company Red Granite Pictures.

The "Lamborghini Crawl": To master the Quaalude-fueled car scene, Leonardo DiCaprio meticulously studied a viral YouTube video of a drunk man in a convenience store.

Jonah Hill’s $60K Gamble: Despite his fame, Jonah Hill took the SAG minimum of $60,000 just for the chance to work with Scorsese—and ended up hospitalized after snorting too much fake cocaine (vitamin D powder).

The McConaughey Ritual: That iconic chest-thumping and humming? It was actually Matthew McConaughey’s real-life pre-scene relaxation ritual that Scorsese caught on camera and decided to keep.

The Burger vs. Steak Debate: Kyle argues that while Goodfellas is a "steak" of perfection, this movie is a "really good burger" that feels a bit more disjointed.
