“We see how far we haven’t come” confesses Don Cheadle about the themes explored in the 1980s set “Black Monday.” In our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video above), he adds, “This show is all about looting; they are white collar looters. Smuggling in messaging is one of the gifts of doing a crazy comedy like this. You turn off the set and think ‘wait a minute. Is that funny? Should we be laughing about that?’ The tightrope is trying to find how to smuggle those things in but still do it under the protection of this farcical comedy.”
In its second season on Showtime, “Black Monday” explores the excesses and greed of Wall Street in the wake of the Black Monday crash of 1987. Cheadle explains “It’s unfortunately a very cyclical process. These systematic and institutionalized events change their face but at the bottom they are always about the same things.
