BNC Closing Credits: Are We Cornering the “Trading Places” Market?
Podcast: Bank Nerd CornerPublished On: Thu May 07 2026
Description: In this latest episode of “Closing Credits,” Kiah and Catherine are joined by John Heltman, Washington bureau chief at American Banker, to discuss the 1983 comedy “Trading Places.” “Trading Places” is a rich text. Kiah, John and Catherine discuss commodities fraud, fraught social themes and pork belly futures as well as what constitutes a Christmas movie. John, a former CFTC reporter, explains the origin of the so-called Eddie Murphy Rule — a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that complicates this movie’s ability to be remade. --- Closing Credits is a podcast focused on recapping movies with banking, money or finance themes. As of this recording, listeners can rent “Trading Places” for themselves at various streaming services online. --- Fintech Takes Banking is the weekly newsletter for bank execs who get it.
