About this episode
Dave and Joanna talk about The Social Network, with its jarring Aaron Sorkin dialogue known for being clever but inaccruate. We'll hear from journalsits who have a softer take on Zuckerberg's motivations, a harsher take on how important the Winkelvoss twins actually were, and hear about Facebook's OTHER founders. Also, are there any women in this movie at all?
