CNBC will air "The Last Days of Lehman Brothers" this coming Friday.
Indeed, they'll be running it all evening, in accord with the cable imperative that anything worth broadcasting at all is worth broadcasting a thousand times.
The movie was first aired on BBC last September, a year after the dramatic events portrayed. Here's a YouTube clip, portraying Hank Paulson in a philosophical mood.
I love the viewers' comments beneath that clip, too. What a combined reflection of the Zeitgeist they are.
Cast? Glad you asked.
Corey Johnson plays Dick Fuld, chairman and CEO of Lehman.
James Cromwell plays Hank Paulson, whom you saw in the YouTube clip, talking about the fall of Rome, or the European empires, and now of "us."
Michael Landes plays a fictional character, Zach, an aid to Fuld who also delivers the voiceover narration.
It isn't an A-list cast, but a respectable one. Landes is best known for having played Jimmy Olson in "Lois and Clark" in the early 1990s.
Anyway: Happy viewing.

"I Know That Sounds Irresponsible"
I think of James Cramer just as "the scary guy," because when I see him on television I'm always afraid a chair is going to come crashing at me through the screen.
Fortunately, there's a YouTube Cramer-clips collage available now that gives you the gist of Cramer's performance in the last year or so without the fear factor.
The highlight is a clip from October 2007, in which Cramer notes that stock market prices were then at record levels, that prices were way above the valuation of the underlying assets, but that the bull market would continue anyway.
It seems that somebody named Don Harrold put this together, but I saw it on Seeking Alpha, and I'll link you there.

The clip begins with a challenge to Jim from Rick Santelli. Jim responds by saying that he's been correctly "bearish" all along, and that Rick clearly hasn't been watching his show. But the clips proving otherwise, interspliced with Maria Bartiromo's lovely laugh, follow immediately.
The "I know that sounds irresponsible" comment comes less than two minutes in.
