Boom Bust Boom goes the world economy! INTERVIEW - a podcast by Bob Andelman

Do you find global financial issues a bit confusing?

Think it would be easier if a founding member of ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus,’ Terry Jones, explained it to you with humor, animation, songs and puppets?

Thought so!

Today's Mr. Media Guests: Bill Jones (son of Terry) and Ben Timlett, documentary filmmakers, “Boom Bust Boom” (starring Terry Jones of "Monty Python's Flying Circus")

BILL JONES podcast excerpt: "Ben and I just watched 'The Big Short' where they go, 'You're betting against the housing market? The housing market NEVER goes down! And I kept shouting at the screen, 'YEAH? 1929!!!"

Key interview moments:

• 5:45 Bill Jones talks about comparisons between his film, Boom Bust Boom, and The Big Short;

• 13:45 Ben Timlett discusses the challenges in editing such a complicated subject, let alone breaking down the immense crapload of jargon inherent in any financial discussion ;

• 20:00 The filmmakers tell the true story of how the met as little boys (hint: it involves "Monty Python's Flying Circus" original member Terry Jones and a virtual kidnapping).
