Naomi and Aaron discuss the film BlackBerry (2023).

In this episode, we dive into the movie BlackBerry (2023), starring Jay Baruchel, Glenn Howerton and Matt Johnson (Johnson also directed the film). The film rides a wave of early 2000s nostalgia and explores a pre-smartphone era. We reminisce about never having a BlackBerry ourselves while people around us did. We especially enjoyed a scene where an obnoxious businessman swizzles whiskey and chomps a cigar while showing off his new BlackBerry. We delve into the contrasting personalities of the Co-CEOs, Mike Lazaridis (played by Jay Baruchel) and Jim Balsillie (played by Glenn Howerton), drawing comparisons to the similiar tech-founder narrative of The Social Network. Finally, we talk about the film's portrayal of BlackBerry's changing workplace culture and Mike Lazaridis's dissolving ideals on the way to the BlackBerry's downfall.
