Ep 28: The Social Network
Tuesday, 15 September, 2020
We're joined by Jenna Charlton to discuss David Fincher's critically-acclaimed Mark Zuckerberg biopic which straddles a very fine line between hero worship and cautionary tale. We talk about the pre-Facebook internet days of Angelfire and MySpace, how the movie mostly gets its tech correct for a change, and our real-life experiences with the privilege which the film displays. We get a bit serious in the middle as we unpack the overt misogynism on-display in the movie, discuss the impact of Facebook's push into the editorial and advertising spaces, and look at what happens when content moderation goes awry. There's some light-heartedness along the way as the crew discuss the feel-good programs that they use for respite, why Dan's name didn't meet AOL standards, and Neil shares a story of an unfortunate encounter with Justin Bieber. We'll see you again in October for our discussion on JURASSIC PARK!
