Episode Description

This week we review and discuss How To Make A Killing, a dark comedy thriller movie directed by John Patton Ford and starring Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley and Jessica Henwick, about a man who stands to inherit his family's 20 billion dollar fortune once he has killed the seven family members who stand in his way, which puts him on a path of ambition and conscience.

We discuss the movie's handling of themes of ambition, entitlement and greed, how the movie uses symbolism and characters to put the protagonist on a path that forces him to choose between two radically different lives, how this movie's trailer and marketing set the wrong expectations which will probably hurt the movie at the box office and why we predict it will become a hidden gem in the future, how the movie's portrayal of wealth and the wealthy is more interesting and nuanced than most movies in the "eat the rich" genre that has been popular lately, and much more.
