Watched this one, and as a fan of Succession, I was really hoping this would be good. I didn't care for it at all. It tries way too hard banging you over the head about rich guys trying to fuck the planet over. Carell was the best of the group. Curious for others thoughts on this one.

It had some funny moments but kind of a drag to sit though.
It got a little interesting when they started thinking about killing Jeff.

Too close to real life for me to truly enjoy it, but it was definitely an accurate skewering of the tech-elite and what they really think. Basically everything in the movie has been brought up by them in real life.
