Frank Rizzo After the Great Recession of ’08 — not to mention anxiety about the current economy — will a Reagan-era comedy about insider trading and the glory of greed get the same laughs? Can it sing, too?In the 1983 movie “Trading Places,” the life of a financial manager is switched with a Philly street hustler when two filthy-rich commodities brokers — brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke — make a nature-versus-nurture wager and puppet-master their secret social experiment.

season 3 closes out with a bang as it follows Van (Zazie Beetz) on a very unexpected, emotional journey through Paris, which includes a wild interaction with a surprise cameo by Alexander Skarsgård. And executive producer Stefani Robinson breaks down what is easily one of the FX series’ best episodes yet. [: Spoilers for the season 3 finale, “Tarrare,” written by Stefani Robinson and directed by Donald Glover.]While the season was split between stories about the curse of whiteness and following the gang — Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield), Earn and Van -- as they travel through parts of Europe, the finale focuses squarely on Van, whose story has largely played out in the background of previous episodes. “We really wanted to do a Van solo episode,” Robinson tells ET, using it to address why she showed up in Europe in the first place.
