This week on End Credits, we’re posting through it. We will once again dive into the swampy morass of social media and moneyed interests run amok with the new based-on-a-true-story legal thriller The Social Reckoning in a theatre near you. We also dive into the director of The Social Reckoning, and he’s accomplished screenwriting career.
This Wednesday, October 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:
The Sorkin Scenes. Aaron Sorkin is one of the most celebrated and accomplished screenwriters of our time. He’s written scripts for extremely popular movies like A Few Good Men and The Social Network and created highly influential series like Sports Night and The West Wing, but some scenes are still better than others, right? To start this week’s show, we’re going to be talking about the A-sides from Sorkin’s film and TV work.
REVIEW: The Social Reckoning (2026). In 2010, David Fincher made The Social Network. Back then, social media was still in its infancy (so to speak) and the dangers were not yet fully revealed, so it makes sense to follow-up on this story 16 years later, right? The Fincher-less Social Reckoning features Mikey Madison as a Facebook whistleblower, Jeremy Allen White as a Wall Street Journal reporter looking to expose the company’s sins and Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg, our villain. But does Reckoning deliver the same blow as Network all these years later?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
