For this week’s main podcast review, Ema Sasic and Dan Bayer join me to review and discuss the latest film from Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, “The Social Reckoning,” starring Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, Bill Burr, and Jeremy Strong. A companion piece to 2010’s “The Social Network,” where that film was about the rise of Facebook, this film is about the Facebook we use today and how it got us to where we are now, dramatizing, the 2021 Facebook leak by whistleblower Frances Haugen and investigative reporter Jeff Horwitz. What did we think of it? Please tune in, either on video or audio only, as we discuss the story, Sorkin’s writing and direction, the performances, the stylistic differences from David Fincher’s acclaimed film, its Oscar prospects, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
