Top 5 Moguls

Episode • Feb 28, 2022 • 1h 25m

We're coming up fast on The Batman, the latest film centered around pop culture's famous insanely rich business mogul, Bruce Wayne. I am given to understand he also dresses as a bat. But that's not what we're here for, we're here to take a deeper dive into the Waynes of the world, the ultimate winners of late capitalism: captains of industry, movers and shakers, power brokers, the people whose exact work is a little hard to pin down, exactly, but by golly it sure does seem to be lucrative. In short, we're looking at our top 5 moguls in the movies (though not our top 5 movie moguls), to see just what it is they do with all that money and power. Besides dressing up as bats, that is.

The episode gets a little off the rails. If we had known the direction it was heading, we would have included a whole other list of criteria above for what qualifies as a "mogul," but I guess you've come to expect that now.

Tune in and we hope you enjoy!
