Similar in style to the "The Big Short," "Dumb Money" is the true story of how Game Stop stock grew into a monster and Wall Street lost its mind. Starring Paul Dano as Keith Gill, the man behind Game Stop's rising. Keith Gill, for most of "Dumb Money's" runtime was usually clad in the most geeky cat t-shirt you have ever seen while sporting a red bandana tied around his head like the Karate Kid, a mop of hair like a Pink Floyd band member, circa 1973. Keith offered financial trading advice on his internet channel about the stocks he liked - Game Stop being the main one. People, students, nurses, some Game Stop employees, they actually listened. Hedge fund managers, they bet against the stock, thinking it would crash and die. It didn't. It kept climbing. Keith kept posting his investments and everyone kept buying. The little people were winning and the giants, they were losing. Without spoiling anymore, this is anther underdog story and as you know by now, I love an underdog story. How can you not cheer for the geeks and freaks, the people on the front lines, making nothing, while the fat cats who sit around doing nothing, raking it in, day after day? Go little guy!
