The Wolf of Wall Street

Aussie and the Scotsman talk movies

This week we discuss the 2013 American biographical black comedy film The Wolf of Wall Street directed by Martin Scorsese.

The story is based on Jordan Belfort's 2007 memoir of the same name. It recounts Belfort's career as a stockbroker in New York City and how his firm, Stratton Oakmont, engaged in rampant corruption and fraud on Wall Street, leading to his downfall.

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Belfort, Jonah Hill as his business partner and friend, Donnie Azoff, Margot Robbie as his second wife, Naomi and Kyle Chandler as FBI agent Patrick Denham.

Unsurprisingly this is one of the boys favourite movies - they discuss their favourite scenes and the Scotsman asks the Aussie to sell him a pen.

Does the movie gloss over or exaggerate Belforts abuse towards women? We talk a little about this and the disparity and the chauvinistic way in which women were treated by men in corporate 80's life.

And then out of the blue we received a visitor in the studio - the Scotsman's wife enters and helps out.

Do you have a favourite scene....the Aussie love the goldfish swallowing.. "ON NEW ISSUE DAY!" or the house party or when the qualudes kick in scene.....
