Hi everyone from New York magazine in the box media podcast network this is Gordon

Gecko and I'm here to tell you greed is good just kidding it's not really that

good but it's not bad sometimes for some people this is on with Cara Swisher and

I'm Cara Swisher and I'm Neymaraza and Gordon Gecko of course is Michael Douglas's

character from the film Wall Street the hit 1987 film and 2010 sequel by our

guest today Oliver Stone 2010 was not so good but they're not so what oh the

original was fantastic it's just an amazing movie it was sort of so reflective

of the times and Gordon Gecko had a phone that I had too oh you had the

Gordon Gecko phone yeah the big giant one stone of course meant Wall Street

to be a critique of capitalism yeah you know what happened instead people loved

Gordon Gecko they wanted to be have it more bros were inspired to become stockbrokers

and yeah apparently very much just made stone yeah I probably did I mean they

tried to make Charlie Sheen the hero you know he was sort of taken in by

Gordon Gecko but you're right Gordon Gecko was so compelling and so

fascinating that he you know he's a billionaire today like a zillionaire today

he did just fine yeah he probably is because he liked it all but there was a lot

of things he said which actually if you go back and watch it it has a lot of

resonance to changes in the economy that he was completely correct about many

things well in a minute or about to get to stone who was directed more than 30

films including born on the 4th of July greatly JFK Snowden he also wrote

Scarface but before we get there it is finally after 4th of July starts hot

movie summer supposedly which is like hot girl summer but darker and less
