Episode Four: The Wolf of Wall Street & The Big Short

Wrong With Authority returns with the last episode in our first cycle, this time hosted by Kit.  It's a two-part episode this time, because... well... it's a long one.  But please stick with it, because it's a great show and we're all proud of it.  And we sweated blood over it.  Seriously, it's been a bastard, this one.  It's our Apocalypse Now.  A huge, bloated monster that has left a trail of nervous breakdowns in its path.
