With THE SOCIAL RECKONING bringing audiences back to the world of Facebook next week, we go back to where it all began with a commentary track for 2010's THE SOCIAL NETWORK! Listen separately or watch along as we discuss David Fincher’s meticulous direction, Aaron Sorkin’s razor-sharp screenplay, the powerhouse performances of Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s unforgettable score, and why this tale of ambition, friendship and betrayal feels even more relevant today. Before the story continues, log on and revisit a modern classic with us!
