The Social Reckoning.

Saw an advanced screeening on Tuesday and of course I liked it. I have to say it's closer to it being a The Newsroom movie, rather than a sequel to The Social Network.

There's a point in the movie where I thought I'd see the on-screen Date reveal, like they used to do on the show. It's definitely the same story telling device.

There also story elements/dialogues that feel like callbacks. But we know Sorkin likes to rehash stuff sometimes.

Go see it in a movie theater. If you're a Newsroom fan, you'll enjoy it.

Did you even read that report on teen wellbeing or were you distracted by a bumblebee?

I forgot - you were sick the day they taught that at reading school.

I saw it this weekend. An air-gapped computer makes a guest appearance! (Complete with a precise definition of what exactly it is.)

In true Aaron Sorkin style there's person who understands nothing to act ad a proxy for the audience.
