Potter was the bad guy, he knowingly stole Uncle Billy’s deposit on Christmas Eve. Good guys don’t do that.

I wouldn't respect any other review from him

As always, he ain't exactly wrong.

He missed the part where Jimmy didn't bankrupt the savings and loan, Potter stole the deposit when the uncle left his newspaper on the desk. And it happened to be on the same day the bank auditor shows up. Potter is the bad guy, there's no two ways around it.

Absolutely.

And then he took advantage of the situation to try and run the building and loan out of business.

Dude was a complete dishonest scumbag.

There are people on this board who hate Tucker Carlson but want people like Shapiro to lead the conservative movement.

Not even that would be correct. Potter was building the ghettos and ripping people off. The Savings And Loan was helping people build nice places, much nicer, for the same price. Potter was a predatory slumlord antitrust globalist pedophile.

Ben Shapiro is "Israel First." Trump clapped back at neocon Deep Stater Bill Krystal once, and Shapiro go upset about it.

Shapiro praises the film praises Jimmy Stewart, breaks it all down pragmatically. Only at the very end does he bring up the fact that as Potter is portrayed as an evil heartless banker, he’s also looking out for the best interest of the institution.

All you feel good bleeding heart libs who want to wank off to a commie utopia, go home to mommy.

You forgot about talking shite about Peter Bailey after he died, telling George he’s worth more dead than alive.

Ben Shapiro has a dollar sign where most people have a heart.

That’s a bad take by Shapiro. Potter kept the $8,000 Uncles Billy lost, wanted to be a slum lord to the “garlic eaters”, and tried to use Black Friday to shut down the Baileys business. He lost me at Potter.

How the frick can he be the hero? He literally stole money from a senile old man to bankrupt a business rival. He's evil.
