The Social Network (...or Accidental Billionaires) by Ben Mezrich

It seems like we talked about this movie only yesterday (see our 25 Top Films of the 21st Century Episode), but it's time we do a FORMAL Literate Cinephiles review of The Social Network, and it's source material by Ben Mezrich.

Show Notes

• The Director's Series: David Fincher
• One of our favs, Lessons from the Screenplay, has a great video essay on Sorkin, Structure, and Collaboration that is definitely worth checking out to use how non-linear structure is used to tell a story.

Baby Driver (aka The Best iPod Commercial Ever)

We've been talking about it incessantly since our Most Anticipated Films of 2017 episode, and now that it's here it gets an episode for itself. That's right, woodchuck chuckers, it's BABY DRIVER!

Show Notes

• As mentioned multiple times, Nerdwriter did an excellent job of discussing how Edgar Wright makes transitions count, using Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as an amazing example.
• We've shared this before, but Every Frame's a Painting's video on Edgar Wright and visual comedy is definitely worth checking out.
• Michael mentioned an interview where Edgar Wright clues us in to Griff's fate - you can find that on The Empire Film Podcast released on 7/4/2017 ("Baby Driver Spoiler Special with Edgar Wright")
