This week on WVIA Pop Shop, Allan Austin and Patrick Hamilton take on The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin's follow-up to The Social Network, starring Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison and Jeremy Strong.

The film revisits the world of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg through the story of whistleblower Frances Haugen and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz, whose reporting helped expose troubling practices inside the social media giant.

But does The Social Reckoning have anything new to tell us about Facebook, corporate accountability and the influence of social media?

Allan and Patrick examine Sorkin's distinctive storytelling style, the film's comparisons to classic investigative journalism movies like All the President's Men, and whether its optimistic portrayal of whistleblowing and journalism holds up when audiences already know what happened afterward.

Then the conversation turns to a much bigger question: What good is exposing wrongdoing if the public and the institutions responsible for accountability don't respond? And what does it say about us that we continue using social media platforms even when we know their potential harms?

Plus, the guys debate whether The Social Reckoning needed to be made at all, and why a movie about such important issues ultimately leaves them underwhelmed.
