#whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif)

"In this series, 'Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber', you get to know the CEO of Uber Travis Kalanick (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). 

During interviews, Kalanick has a habit of asking the question: “Are you an asshole?” And he expects you to say “yes.”

Travis is a disruptor and he is looking for investors. In 2011 (as UberCab), he sold Bill Gurley (Kyle Chandler). 

With taxi/limo companies and others frustrated at Travis, what will he have to do to get Uber established?  What will it take to keep the company going? How did Uber grow into what we see today? 

If you like 'Inventing Anna' (Netflix), 'The Dropout' (Hulu), or WeCrashed (Apple) you might want to check out this series."
