Understanding the intricacies of the economy can feel incredibly daunting. Because, the only thing we fear more than death, homicidal clowns, and a Bey and Jay divorce is tax season. And, as the country's economic struggles continue to make headlines, a series such as We The Economy has never felt more urgent.
The 20 short films that comprise the series are being dubbed clips we "can't afford to miss" by its makers — especially if you're someone who can't tell the difference between an audit and an Audi. Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Amy Poehler, Werner Herzog, and Maya Rudolph are among the celebrities who'll appear in the short films.

Based on the trailer below, the series will be a hodgepodge of sketches, animation, and talking heads.
