This humorous documentary series follows a group of millennial misfits who banded together online to rescue their beloved GameStop from the clutches of Wall Street bigwigs, in a viral David vs. Goliath story for the 21st century.

Netflix's 3-episode doc series premieres September 28, 2022

Dear god in heaven who is this "rapper" who has the charisma of a month old banana?  And is a sexist pig to boot.

I watched all three episodes today.

Hated the rapper. The three of them were just embarrassing to watch. Their performances were cringeworthy in the extreme. 

There was a lot to this documentary but the biggest takeaway was that it's a rigged game. Robinhood, the company that was sold as an onramp for investing for the little guy, was beholden to Citadel. They and other brokerages that halted the ability to buy GameStop stock and caused it to crash were engaged in market manipulation. And what happened to them for doing that? Nothing.
