so basically a girl boss version of Wolf of Wall Street

how are they able to use the song Boss Bitch, wasn't that released for Birds of Prey??

also the setting of this movie makes me miss On Becoming a God in Central Florida. i loved that show.

Trailers often use music made specifically for other movies (or least they used to)

oh interesting! i could be blanking on movie trailers rn but i don't remember an instance like this where both movies are so recent

'girl boss version of Wolf of Wall Street' is the exact phrase I mumbled to myself watching this trailer, you're entirely correct.

The accents are. . . 😅

I will watch it for the Catherine O'Hara, the baby from Gunpowder Milkshake and Marry Me and . . . Chris Evans

Edit: Why can't I make my shame extra small?

[holyfrijoles_2]

Everyone’s accent is too much here.

Is this part of the Sackler family/opioid epidemic but on the sales people's side? What exactly is it loosely based on?

ETA: It's based on a NYT magazine article and a book by the same writer about a pharmaceutical startup that sold a pain relief spray with fentanyl.
