My impressions:

I enjoyed "Other People's Money" and "Factory" though neither one was really a standout for me.

I really liked the recycling of iphones etc. in OPM but the VC talk was dull. Factory I really enjoyed until they met with the CEO, and then it went off the rails for me.

The other three were meh.

I wonder if they had any idea what they were getting into when they asked Ellis for a piece.
