The Social Network - 10th Anniversary Commentary
Ten years ago on October 1st, 2010, The Social Network was released, and anyone who’s seen it knows just how great it is. From the Aaron Sorkin script to the meticulous direction by David Fincher and every thing in between, it continues to stand as not only a perfect film worthy of its “Best of the 2010s” designation, but also an ever evolving piece of art that continues to change with current events and our political climate.
To celebrate the film’s 10th Anniversary, Greg Arietta, Kevin Conner, and guest Jamie Housen convened to create an audio commentary. Over the years, their friendship developed around a mutual appreciation for Fincher’s masterpiece, and while a podcast already exists of the trio talking about the film, an audio commentary had yet to be created where they talk about final clubs, marlins & trouts, Armie Hammer, fuck you flip flops, and how drunk blogging led to the fall of democracy.
You can listen to this audio track as like a traditional podcast, but for its full effect we recommend listening to it along side the film (besides, who wouldn’t want to watch The Social Network again?). Start the below audio track 9:29 and sync it with play on the film. And remember, don’t get left behind!
