In this episode Bruce Wayne saves Martha Kent from being kicked out of her house by buying the bank that owns her mortgage.

“I bought the bank.” — Ben Affleck.

The infamous line at the end of this instant classic of a tentpole is expertly delivered by “Jack in the Box” evangelist Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne when he explains to Mesa member in good standing Henry Cavill how he saved his mum’s house from foreclosure. We’ll dive into if this makes any sense. What normally happens if you can’t pay your mortgage and why didn’t Bruce just buy the house for her?

In this episode we’ll explore topics like:
Jason’s variable mortgage crisis
Foreclosures
Acute Recession v. Chronic recession
Terrible acting perpetrated by big-time celebrities
