YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING but what does that actually mean? Nathan Fielder and Elizabeth Holmes go head to head in a three hour game of "neurodiversity chicken". The internet is ablaze with speculation and spoilers about this 2026 A24 gesamtkunstwerk from Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder, covering one of the most covered crime/frauds of the century thus far, the founder of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, convicted of four counts of investor fraud. We covered the Alex Gibney HBO doc about this with Sara DeForest back in 2019.**SPOILERS DISCUSSED!**Our guest today is filmmaker Lauren Greenhall, who has worked in both comedy and documentary.
