Talking Stocks

About This Movie

Talking Stocks ventures into a chaotic soundscape of amateur podcastering that captures a specific, yet absurd atmosphere. The pacing feels like a live wire, with the unexpected arrival of a Trump-loving Singaporean guest throwing everything into disarray. It’s a fascinating exploration of how far people will stretch their principles for content. The practical effects are minimal but serve the dialogue-heavy scenes effectively, complementing the raw performances of the leads, who oscillate between disbelief and desperation. This film reflects on the intersection of media and political discourse in a refreshingly unfiltered way, making it distinctive in its commentary.

Talking Stocks remains somewhat elusive in collector circles, having seen limited distribution and few official releases. Those interested in indie film with a focus on dialogue-heavy narratives often seek it out, leading to a growing, albeit niche, appreciation. The scarcity makes it an intriguing piece for those building a diverse collection, especially with its unique exploration of modern media and politics.
