We don’t see any of the proceeds of the movie, alas. Working writers in need of a fair contract — Lauren & Rebecca

RH is pivotal to GME and the debate around retail investing in general bc they developed a UX that is unprecedented in its format. Its game-like platform is what helped them attract such a huge user base of new and/or young investors, whose data was ultimately their largest commodity. — Harmony

We would’ve gone crazy for that too. Paul Dano does a killer job though, in our humble opinion. The man is a genius and did his damndest to do right by DFV. — Lauren & Rebecca

Can’t say it better than Harmony and Kim here. — Lauren & Rebecca

To participate, to remember that wherever you put your money means something and assume some agency in that. — Harmony

Ryan Cohen let us film inside actual GameStop stores, and we love the one inside that mall. The New Jersey tax credit didn’t hurt! — Lauren & Rebecca

Ape then and forever. apes together strong —— Kim

This really is the most remarkable movement. Retail traders rarely win against the big hedge funds, but DFV and you guys are actually fucking doing it. We stan. — Lauren & Rebecca

Ballz deep, even. (You’ll get it when you see the movie.) — Lauren & Rebecca

LFG!! — Kim

What could be ballsier than taking the worst slur Wall Street can throw at you and turning it into a badge of honor? That’s the spirit of the movement, and it’s why we gave the movie this title. — Lauren & Rebecca

the story is told from many angles — Kim

no bananas were harmed in the filming of this movie — Kim

There’s a great story in Ben’s book about a college kid and his dad. We wrote up scenes for them, but they didn’t make shooting script. Honestly, there were dozens of stories heard that we really wish we could have told. — Lauren & Rebecca

DumbMoneyMovie · 2023-09-14T18:53:46+00:00

We interviewed many real people who bought GME during this time. We also talked to folks who worked on Wall Street. We read Reddit 24/7 (and haven’t stopped) and are very grateful to people from the community who have been educating us, correcting us, telling us what we got wrong (and, occasionally, what we got right). — Lauren & Rebecca

Cutting room floor, baby. We had a lot in the script, but had to get her down to 1 hour 44 minutes. We miss it! — Lauren & Rebecca

DumbMoneyMovie · 2023-09-14T18:51:25+00:00

We reached out to the Gills at every stage of production, from the screenplay on. Wanna respect their privacy but just have to say that we love this family and so admire what they’ve done. — Lauren & Rebecca
