Paul & Amy are in the zone this week for 2010 film, The Social Network! They discuss how the film holds up in 2025, how many times they show that opening bar scene, and why everyone is talking so quickly. Plus: they get into the very powerful desire of wanting to be cool.


You can rent The Social Network on all platforms but don't forget to check your local library or apps like Libby, Hoopla and Kanopy!
