Freakonomics: The Movie is a 2010 American documentary film based on the book Freakonomics by economist Steven D. Levitt and writer Stephen J. Dubner.

Segments

  • A Roshanda By Any Other Name : Morgan Spurlock's investigation of the possible implications of names, especially "black" vs. "white" names, in personal development and social advancement.
  • Pure Corruption : Alex Gibney's exploration of the Japanese concept of yaochō (match fixing) in Sumo wrestling.
  • It's Not Always A Wonderful Life : Narrated by Melvin Van Peebles and directed by Eugene Jarecki, this segment explores the question of what led to a decline in the urban crime rate in the US during the mid- to late 1990s. The authors of Freakonomics suggest that a substantial factor was the 1973 US Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade, in the US which permitted people to have legal abortions, leading to more wanted children with better upbringings.

    Freakonomics

    by: Clutch

    What kind of ugly are they talking about?
    It's just straight up cold evil
    What kind of nonsense are they going on about?
    Do they suffer from the fever?
    Nothing's gonna satisfy them
    Till it all goes Chernobyl
    No, nothing's ever really gonna satisfy them
    Until the virus goes mobile
    If you didn't then, well, now you know
    Outside is an army of antlers
    I hate to say it but I told you so
    Only the freaks have all the answers
    Red threat Helicopters, Super-Mind-Control
    Stockholm Syndrome, love your captors
    Uranium Super-Mind-Control
    It's gonna rain, rain down in buckets
    Watch it happen, a natural fact
    They're gonna lose and they're not gonna like it
    Watch it happen, supernatural act
    If you didn't then, well, now you know
    Outside is an army of antlers
    I hate to say it but I told you so
    Only the freaks have all the answers
    If you didn't then now you know
    Outside is an army of antlers
    I hate to say it but I told you so
    Only the freaks have all the answers
    It's gonna rain, rain down in buckets
    Watch it happen, a natural fact
    They're gonna lose and they're not gonna like it
    Watch it happen, supernatural act
    If you didn't then, well, now you know
    Outside is an army of antlers
    I hate to say it but I told you so
    Only the freaks have all the answers
    If you didn't then now you know
    Outside is an army of antlers
    I hate to say it but I told you so
