I’m no investor, but there have been times when I’ve walked into some booming retail outlet and thought: “This might be worth buying a few shares.” It’s hard to believe anybody could ever have felt that way about a GameStop store, which in the movie,, comes across as a lifeless, understocked franchise that seems about as exciting as the local bus depot.in 2021, expecting the share price to crumble.

Then there are the hedge fund guys, chiefly Gabe Plotkin of Melvin Capital, played by Seth Rogen; and two even bigger sharks: Steve Cohen , who keeps a pet pig in his mansion; and Ken Griffin , a supreme example of America’s untouchable financial aristocracy who is happy to let everyone else eat cake.
