The cinematic history of our mad world.

Muriel Repartee’s horrifying sequel to her 1950 Fi-Fi blockbuster The Day of the MiFID, scripted as was the original by gonzo Fi-Fi beat sensation Hunter Barkley, in which some carbon emission derivatives spontaneously catch fire, which spreads to the an underground blockchain which quickly infects a number of above-ground derivative markets on fire and ultimately threatens the entire destruction of the financial system as we know it. This film was the first on-screen appearance of Hunter Barkley’s legal hero, Opco Boone, played here by French swaps dreamboat Marc du Marquette.
The film was criticised on release for its dubious finantific accuracy (many pointed out, for example, that CO2 is non-flammable) but it has since become a cult classic in late-night drunk-tank fantasy theatres, often playing alongside such forgettable classics as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
