Paul Dano is the moment.
Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.
Dumb Money also stars Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley and Seth Rogen. Directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo, based on the book “The Antisocial Network” by Ben Mezrich.

00:00 - You should probably dial in.
00:02 - Yeah, be on in one sec.
00:03 - How much money is being made?
00:06 - Holy fucking shit.
00:07 I absolutely love Paul
00:09 and the range of Paul's work is astounding.
00:12 I was so excited when he wanted to play the role
00:14 because this film revolves around that character.
00:17 The heart of the film is this character
00:19 convincing the world to come along on this journey with him
00:22 and also that relationship that he has
00:23 with Shailene Woodley, his wife.
00:25 And that's, and they sort of encompass everything
00:27 that the little guy is going through
00:29 and that's like, you know,
00:30 who we really, really want to root for.
00:31 So being able to have an actor of his caliber
00:34 that can give us all those facets
00:36 and that humanity and still be charming
00:38 and lean into the humor where needed.
00:41 - Sasshole thinks he's Jimmy Buffett now.
00:43 - Warren Buffett.
00:44 Warren Buffett.
00:46 - See, you're not either of the Buffetts.
00:48 - Pete and I crossed paths a few times prior to this.
00:51 I called him about this.
00:52 I thought he would be perfect as the brother.
00:55 And I was so excited about the idea
00:58 of putting Paul and Pete together
01:00 because there's such, there's such different energies.
01:03 And to see what would happen with that
01:05 and how that would align,
01:07 because Pete is, in the best way, quite unpredictable.
01:10 Like you don't quite know what he's going to do
01:12 or say on set.
01:13 And fortunately, Paul was wonderful with it.
01:16 - Tell me you're kidding.
01:17 - Well, if you give me 20,
01:18 I maybe won't have to deal with this shit.
01:20 - What the fuck is wrong with you?
