0:00.0 | Welcome to now playing the movie review podcast hosted by Stuart, Arnie, and Marjorie. |
0:11.2 | This podcast is spoiler-filled and may contain harsh language, listener discretion is advised. |
0:19.7 | Today we are discussing the social network starring Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin |
0:28.4 | Timberlake, and Brenda Song, directed by David Fincher. This is Arnie, co-host of now playing. |
0:34.3 | Stuart and LA. And Marjorie. And we're bringing an extra special podcast to now playing, one that we |
0:41.2 | didn't exactly schedule, but we decided would be appropriate to make a Facebook fan page exclusive |
0:47.4 | podcast. And as we all know, I'm a big fan of biopics, so I felt we had to do this. I mean, |

1:58.8 | biopics when they're celebrities. But what drew me to this film was first of all the director. |
2:04.4 | I'm a big fincher fan. While I haven't seen Benjamin Button yet, I have to say that seven and |
