In this Wisecrack Edition, we’ll dive in to Game Theory and show how it not only informs the shady financial opportunism of billionaire Bobby Axelrod, but also the ruthless politicking of US Attorney Chuck Rhoades. Join us as we explore the metagames and multidimensional chess played by both Rhoades and Axelrod, and how it slowly erodes their moral compasses. === Watch More Episodes! === PROMETHEUS and ALIEN COVENANT: Deep or Dumb? ► https://wscrk.com/2Hie8ly Why FYRE Was Never Real ► https://wscrk.com/2tIRkDF Why Our Horror Movies Are Different Now ► https://wscrk.com/2BRqRbq The Philosophy of MOB PSYCHO 100 ► https://wscrk.com/2GLn6Iz STARSHIP TROOPERS: How to Make Fascism SEXY ► https://wscrk.com/2H0jimf DJANGO UNCHAINED: How To Destroy An Ideology ► https://wscrk.com/2T4IcHv The Philosophy of TRUE DETECTIVE ► https://wscrk.com/2CTcS4D Store ........... http://wisecrackstore.com Twitter .........   / wisecrack   Facebook ....   / wisecrackedu   Written by: Alec Opperman Directed by: Michael Luxemburg Hosted by: Jared Bauer Edited by: Mark Potts Motion Graphics by: Drew Levin Produced by: Emily Dunbar © 2019 Wisecrack, Inc.
