Tim’s take

He consistently rates The Big Short as a genuinely good movie, calling it great or fun nearly every time it comes up 24:12 23:14 38:55. He uses it as a real-world touchstone for his own subprime mortgage sales past rather than just film commentary, tying its plot to what he actually lived through 24:12 1:00:45 35:03. Later he frames it as the ceiling of what director Adam McKay is capable of, contrasting it favorably with McKay's subsequent, worse message movies like Vice and Don't Look Up 15:25.
