Today, I’m joined by two-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth.

Jeff joins me to talk about his work on Tron: Ares, which is now in theaters. He also shot Amazon’s Being the Ricardos for director Aaron Sorkin, starring Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem. Kidman was so impressed with Jeff’s work that she later asked him to shoot her now-famous AMC Theatres commercial.

We also dive into his long-running collaboration with David Fincher on films like Fight Club, The Social Network, and Gone Girl. Plus, Jeff gives us a glimpse into his latest project — the just-begun follow-up to The Social Network, titled The Social Reckoning. Aaron Sorkin is not only writing but also directing this one, with a stellar cast that includes Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison, Jeremy Strong, Betty Gilpin, and Bill Burr.

When I first heard about The Social Reckoning, my initial reaction was, “Why on earth would they make that?” But the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve realized it’s an essential story — a vital piece of modern history that deserves to be explored and cemented in the public consciousness.
