0:00.0 | Social Network, the 2010 American biographical drama about the beginning of Facebook. |
0:07.5 | This movie was directed by David Fincher, written by Aaron Sorkin, and stars, I would say, |
0:13.8 | maybe infamously at this point, Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, and Moore. |
0:19.8 | Yeah, I feel like this is Eisenberg's iconic role. |
0:22.7 | I hadn't seen the movie before then, but every time I see Jesse Eisenberg, it's like, |
0:26.7 | oh, even I know. It's like, oh, he's the guy in the social network playing Zuckerberg. |
0:30.7 | It's one of the great all-time castings, I think. And obviously we were talking about the movie, |
