Comparing "Wall Street" and "The Wolf of Wall Street"

He praises the original "Wall Street" as a formative cautionary tale but criticizes "The Wolf of Wall Street" for glorifying the illegal actions of Jordan Belfort. Scaramucci explains that he declined a role in the latter film because it portrayed a darker, dishonest side of the financial industry.
