From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The Wolf of Wall Street's somewhat OTT depiction of Jordan Belfort's office parties has been sent up with a heavy metal edition on YouTube set to the Messhugah track Rational Gaze.

Scroll down for the video

Parodying the scene in which Leonardo DiCaprio's character gives a rousing speech to his employees, the clip sees the bankers pounding their chests to the beat, with Beflort's underbite serving as the perfect metal frontman grimace.

He then proceeds to pound the microphone against his head as staff head bang in time with the Swedish band's track.

Entitled 'Meshuggah Face of Wall Street', the video has racked up more than 328,000 views in less than 24 hours (at least 60,000 of which are probably me watching on repeat).

Last week, Wolf of Wall Street director Martin Scorsese revealed how he drew on his own personal use of Quaaludes for the numerous scenes involving the drug.

"Yes, I can’t say who the expert is but I could put a few words in there myself," he told chat show host Conan O'Brian, while holding his hands in the air.

"Thirty-five years ago they were legal and I was prescribed a Quaalude for fear of flying. When you took that pill, you didn’t care where you were.

"It wound down by the time you landed, thankfully, because you wanted to hug everybody and you were crying," he continued, before O’Brien prompted him to add: "I’m not kidding, but don’t do it kids!"
