The Showtime series Billions dealt with quite a bit of adversity throughout its final seasons, but despite it all they managed to deliver a satisfying ending.
It's hard to imagine a more perfect marriage of creators and material than the one that was announced this past week.
'Billions' began with a very simple premise: Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damien Lewis) is a billionaire financial whiz who runs a hedge fund called Axe Capital and Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) is the U.S. attorney out to put him away. But there’s much much more to it than that. 'Billions' may not be the best show on TV, but it’s certainly the most entertaining.
The drama of Reddit/GameStop/stocks has barely been going on for a week and isn't even close to over, but ever since it started there have been frequent comparisons to movies and TV shows of the past.
'Billions', like a lot of TV series, frequently "rips from the headlines"; this time it might've gotten them in trouble.
We're back and joined by guests and frequent contributors Shannon Griffiths and Stephen Silver to talk about the latest happenings in film and TV - what is must watch, the recent wave of blockbuster films, and releases just around the corner. And we discuss whether we think 'fanboyism' has started to become to toxic to the very things they love.
