This week on the podcast we dive into Trading Places (1983), directed by John Landis. The comedy that turned social class into a high-stakes experiment. The film follows a street-smart hustler and a privileged commodities broker whose lives are deliberately swapped by two wealthy brothers betting on whether environment matters more than heredity.

Stars Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Ameche, Ralph Bellamy and Denholm Elliott.

Whether you’re revisiting a comedy classic or watching it for the first time, join us as we unpack how Trading Places uses humour to ask a serious question: is success earned, inherited, or simply rigged from the start?

Join us as we reminisce, laugh and celebrate the magic of 80s cinema, with this holiday classic.
