Trading Places (1983) | Ep. 50 - Part 2

The film's climactic commodities scene is so accurate that it's reportedly been used to teach finance, and even helped inspire a real piece of US trading law. Luke, Westy, and Matt continue the story as the tables turn.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay, Elmer Bernstein's score, and the cinematography — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the film's enduring status as a festive favourite. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

Part 1 is the set-up to the swap — Landis, the cast, the first half. Go back for it.
