The Social Reckoning + Carrie Review | Mike Flanagan & Stephen King

We break down Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, exploring Facebook, social media algorithms, misinformation, and corporate accountability. Then, we dive into Mike Flanagan’s Netflix adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, discussing its fresh take on the horror classic, new mysteries, and what could come next. In The Social Reckoning, we explore the film’s portrayal of Facebook’s impact on teen mental health, political radicalization, and the responsibility tech companies have for the content their platforms promote. We also compare Jeremy Strong’s take on Mark Zuckerberg with Jesse Eisenberg’s performance in The Social Network. Then, we turn to Carrie, where Mike Flanagan reimagines Stephen King’s iconic story of bullying, family dynamics, and telekinetic powers. We discuss how modern technology and social media fit into the story, the changes that expand the original narrative, and whether the new mysteries leave room for more.
