About this episode
In this episode, we break down The Social Network . We dive into David Fincher's directing style, Aaron Sorkin's razor-sharp script, and the way the film explores themes of ambition, betrayal, friendship, and greed. We analyze the layered performances of Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, and Justin Timberlake, as well as the brilliant use of music and pacing. More than a story about Facebook, this is a film about obsession, power, and the cost of success.
