I'm Stephen Metcalf, and this is the Slate Culture Gab Fest, Jesse's Girls Edition.

It's Wednesday, September 29th, 2010.

On today's program, The Social Network, the new Facebook film by David Fincher,

Wall Street, Money Never Sleeps, Oliver Stone's sequel to his very own Wall Street. And Slate's own Nina Ristogi will join us later to talk about outsourced the new NBC comedy. Joining me today are Slate's deputy editor Julia Turner. Hello, Julia. Hi, Steve. And our film critic, Dana Stevens, Dana. Hello, Steve. I should explain the title. I was really shocked to discover I'm not either one of your male ideal. We were talking before the show started airing about how Dana and I both think that Jesse Eisenberg, who stars as Mark Zuckerberg in the Facebook movie, is just a doll. All of which is totally... I pegged him as a dreamboat long ago. Back when he was not of legal age, I already had a crush on Jesse Eisenberg.

Dana, I also have thought he was a very cute young Hollywood star for a long time. And you and I are also both under the impression that the men in our lives resemble Jesse Eisenberg. And I think that we're both right, although they don't resemble each other. All of it just totally fair, but it just provokes huge cognitive dissonance because I look nothing like Jesse Eisenberg.

Oh, all of Steve's dreams are crushed.

Wait, before we get into this, either this silly conversation about the Facebook movie or our forthcoming incredibly serious and discerning conversation about the Facebook

movie, I have an announcement to make.

I want like some kind of drum roll or excitement or anticipation from you guys.

Jesse, can you insert something?

Okay, okay.

All right.

So here is my announcement.

For the first time ever, probably a live slate Gab Fest will be taking place on the West Coast.

And this is going to be a culture Gab Fest, our second ever live show.

And we think it's going to be happening in November in Seattle.

We're not totally sure.

We don't have the dates completely locked down yet.
