In this week’s episode, the IHU boys dive into the high-stakes world of cold calls, fast money, and morally ambiguous stockbrokers with Boiler Room (2000). This gritty drama has all the energy and ambition of a Wall Street shark, but does it still capture the allure—or the dark side—of chasing the American dream? 🤔

Join us as we rewatch the film that helped define early 2000s finance culture, featuring a young and intense Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel in a surprising role, and the always magnetic Ben Affleck. We break down the movie’s iconic scenes, explore its ethical dilemmas, and ask the big question: does Boiler Room still pack a punch, or is it more like a bad stock pick that’s aged poorly? 📉

Whether you’re here for the nostalgia or just want to hear some wild stories about shady deals, this episode is sure to bring the heat. Tune in to find out—does Boiler Room hold up?
