ptiming

All the exterior shots were done in my hometown and neighborhood of Dix Hills NY. One can actually hear traffic from the L. I. E. From my parents' house.

The story hits close to home in multiple respects, as I've recently learned looking back on my childhood from what is now my fifties. I don't want to get any more specific than that, for obvious reasons, but.... Yeah...

Oh, and Brian Cox is the shiznit, but we all already knew that.

Also a hell of a breakout performance by Paul Dano.

Watching the neighborhood shots out on Village Hill Drive, McCulloch Drive, and the iconic opening shot on the Carl's Straight Path overpass is pretty triggering.

I'm relatively sure you can't count profits until after you've actually successfully sold merchandise and have the money.

The entire premise of this show is that these people buy pallets of unsold and/or returned merchandise and assume they'll be able to resell the items at or near MSRP. I mean, even Multilevel Marketing scams convince people that the products they're trying to sell are worth something. In this case these people are buying stuff that has proven to be worthless on the open market and they get pats on the back if the worthless junk they've gotten is worth more than what they paid when NO ONE PAID FOR THE STUFF TO BEGIN WITH.

I could feel brain cells popping like bubble wrap in my skull watching this.
