Margin Call (2011): 2 lines

  1. career (career) · through Billions, which they wrote: Margin Call ⇒ Billions (the maker said so: Koppelman, Billions co-creator, on the show). Koppelman says Margin Call reaffirmed how he and Dave had thought about these people, and made a hedge-fund story make more sense than a bank story.
    “margin call may be reaffirmed that the way Dave and I thought about these people, as we'd met them, was pretty much like the way a lot of them are”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Margin Call’ With Bill Simmons, Ryen Russillo, and Brian Koppelman · 0:21:18 · Brian Koppelman (0.90 sure it was them)
  2. lineage (lineage) · through Billions, which they wrote: Margin Call ⇒ Billions (the maker said so: Koppelman, Billions co-creator, on the show). Koppelman says the borrowed lesson is that Margin Call does not speak down to the viewer.
    “this movie doesn't speak down to the viewer”
