Adam McKay #chipchat discusses The Big Short

In 2008, Wall Street guru Michael Burry realizes that a number of subprime home loans are in danger of defaulting. Burry bets against the housing market by throwing more than $1 billion of his investors' money into credit default swaps. His actions attract the attention of banker Jared Vennett (Ryan Gosling), hedge-fund specialist Mark Baum (Steve Carell) and other greedy opportunists. Together, these men make a fortune by taking full advantage of the impending economic collapse in America.
Director Adam McKay ( nominated for a Best Director Oscar) discusses working on the film with Couch Potato's Bonnie Laufer Krebs and not working with his pal Will Ferrell for the first time in his career.
