Too Big to Fail

If you didn't really understand the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (I certainly didn't. Honestly, the only subject I ever failed was Economics 101) then HBO's recent TV movie Too Big to Fail does a pretty good job of unpacking what went down on Wall Street while still managing to be fairly entertaining and suspenseful. It's making the rounds of the usual places and I recommend it. Fans of The West Wing will definitely get a kick out of all the wheeling and dealing.

I just found one of my favourite documentary series on YouTube, cleverly titled Savile Row because it is about the tailors of Savile Row and their bespoke craftsmanship. If you've ever been interested in what makes and what goes into making a good suit, then this is well worth a watch, especially the first episode (there are three). It also discusses the changing market and how mass produced and designer wear threatens this niche industry. Above all, it shows how good tailoring is an art form and that these skills need to be passed on and treasured.
