Are Documentaries the Hottest Movies of the Fall?
The films generating the most buzz right now aren’t big-budget blockbusters – they’re documentaries.

Can "The Social Reckoning" Live Up to "The Social Network"?
Sixteen years after The Social Network introduced moviegoers to the dark side of Facebook’s founding, Aaron Sorkin is taking on the company again—this time as both writer and director—with The Social Reckoning. The film follows whistleblower Frances Haugen (played by Mikey Madison) as she exposes what Facebook knew about its own role in the spread of misinformation and political polarization. Rebecca and John discuss Jeremy Strong’s uncanny transformation into Mark Zuckerberg, debate whether the new film can escape the very long shadow of its predecessor, and ask what makes The Social Network hold up so well. Plus, they share their picks for the October movies you won’t want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
