going to explain what the this movie is, how it was made, and what it all means ultimately. I will be spoiling the huge twists of this movie. So, be warned. Please go see the movie. You won't be disappointed. It's nearly 3

tech company that aimed to revolutionize healthcare with a proprietary device that they claimed could quickly diagnose any health condition from a mere drop of millions of dollars from various high-profile venture capitalists,
including Larry Ellison, you know, the guy whose son now owns half of Hollywood, while Elizabeth Holmes and her then boyfriend Sunonny Balwani would Walgreens and Safeway. But the thing is, this device never worked. and the
and Sunny Balwani were all investigated for fraud in various shady deceptive business practices that ultimately led to fraud convictions for Bawwani and Holmes in 2022 and orders to pay huge sums of money in restitution. Holmes was
sentenced to 11 years in prison, which she began serving in 2023. The story of Holmes and Theronos was popularized by the 2022 Hulu series The Dropout, starring Amanda Cipher as Elizabeth Holmes herself that emphasized Holmes
reported quirky behavior of manipulating and siloing her employees and media and obsessing over various things like her green juice, the music she listens to, specific Apple products and Steve Jobs, the clothes that she wears,
and the practiced deeper pitch of her voice. This Hulu series is also worth relevant to this movie. The co-director of this movie, Lance Oppenheim, is a documentaries like some kind of heaven, about the villages retirement community

prolonged legal trial. You know how in the musical and movie Chicago, Roxy Hart lighter sentence or an acquitt. To be fair to Elizabeth Holmes, she has claimed that both pregnancies were unplanned and she expected an acquitt.

here. Nathan Fielder meets with the actual actress, Amanda Ciphidred. Emma Stone is credited in a special thanks to this movie. Fielder's co-star from the introduced the two of them. Fielder shows Amanda Cipher footage from the

Evans on his own try to profit off his imprisoned wife without her knowledge? Nathan Fielder and Amanda Cipherred, who is now basically the co-star of this of Billy Evans shaping Holm's public persona, like licensing her likeness for
outlandish publicity stunts, staging a nightclub recreation of her arrest, and basically running her Twitter account, posting odd and awkward tweets claiming was just copied from emails that she sent him from prison without her knowing
that they would be used this way. and perhaps most frighteningly approving the public release of an AI generated model resembling her. Evans reveals that he attorney to him. This comes up in a sitdown in 2025 with Fielder, Cyphred

series. Billy Evans claims Elizabeth Holmes is aware of some of the aspects of his financial arrangement with A24, but doesn't give further details. Billy Elizabeth Holmes, and he actually threatens to destroy the lives of all of

recording, Nathan Fielder has to reenact this with Amanda Cipher. Cipherred as Hulu dropout series, saying, "How could a woman do that to another woman?" Which is just crazy to see Amanda Cipher say that basically about herself. According
recounting the interaction, Cipher as Holmes says that she supports Billy that she owes hundreds of millions of dollars in restitution and just leaves And in this depiction, Elizabeth Holmes is vague as to how much she knows about
the A24 profit share deal. She says, quote, "I knew they were talking about quote, "I knew they were talking about it, but hold up, wait." As Cipher and Fielder later wonder, reading back the transcript, did Holmes actually say, "I
knew they were talking about it," or, "I knew they were talking about something." We actually see Amanda Cipher as Elizabeth Holmes saying it both ways. Billy Evans and the kids as genuine love in his eyes. But Cyred doesn't buy it.
personal connection with Holmes has compromised his journalistic judgment, leading him to unconsciously or consciously omit parts of his recounting of their interaction. And then the film does something very interesting. We now
see previously unseen footage of Nathan Fielder swimming in the ocean with Elizabeth Holmes. Both of them wearing swimsuits outside of her beach house. surf, which further complicates the filmmaker's relationship with his
of Sarah Kanig's perceived relationship with Adnan Sied in the serial podcast. Ciphford reaches a definitive conclusion about Elizabeth Holmes sincerity or with footage of the real Elizabeth Holmes playing with her family in the
prison yard on the day of Nathan Fielder's visit. We see Billy Evans handing Elizabeth Holmes a bag of turkey jerky, which was the same snack that Holmes asked him to get for her from the vending machine, suggesting that Nathan
Fielder might now be looking back at that particular snack as a gesture of spousal love, like the snacks that we saw Billy Evans constantly handing to Elizabeth Holmes in the Beach Cottage. Text on screen at the end of the film
forego paid for the film. So, as a viewer, you don't have to feel guilty text shows that the New York Times stands by its reporting of the quote that Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim leave on screen. They're not playing me.
Now, the quote is a completely different context for the nearly three-hour movie we just watched by having Amanda Cipher play Elizabeth Holmes for the back half character that I created. But my
eye now of that sentence? Is this a quote coming from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim? Is it a quote coming from Amanda Cyred? Is it a quote coming Elizabeth Holmes? We don't know. There are too many layers now to distinguish
what the truth is. What we now know as Elizabeth Holmes is an ensemble creation by all of these actors, including Elizabeth Holmes using the media. I anymore. Many can look at this film as Nathan Fielder pulling another
deceptively edited media stunt, an Andy Kaufmanesque prank, the master social experiments, meeting arguably the greatest master manipulator of our times, Elizabeth Holmes. How do we know how many of the comments the actress
on screen might have been coached by the documentary is actually bordering a fictional work by various TV and movie stars to best comment on the puzzle of Elizabeth Holmes. As I look back at this
movie, I do believe that all of Amanda Ciphered's moments that we see on screen are genuine. Why do I think that? Well, the documentary just gives a brutally public figure. It questions her claims that her portrayal of Holmes on the Hulu
series was fiction. She calls it fiction. And Nathan Fielder seems to trying to say that the Hulu Dropout series makes them immune from any Personally, when I watch that Hulu Dropout series, it's not exactly
a documentary, but it is somewhere in between. And I think it is a fair question to ask whether moments like the device blowing up and spraying blood while Holmes claimed to say, "This is no big deal," actually happened. I don't
Evans are actually somehow profiting from this movie. Billy Evans, if villainous light and is either the sole villain of the story or more likely a co-villain who's being manipulated as
she arguably used Sunny Balwani when they were at Theronos. I also don't believe that Nathan Fielder had any true protective or romantic feelings for for too long and I'm just too cynical of the guy. I have seen the guy in real
life and he isn't quite the odd duck that he plays in these comedic and watch and rewatch all of his work in Nathan for you in the rehearsal portraying himself as accidentally falling for any woman who talks softly
Elizabeth Holmes or Amanda Cipher playing Elizabeth Holmes or in other overthinker who gets humorously bested by his own minations or a voyer who just gets too involved with the subjects. All of this are brilliant comedic shake that
every project. The fact that he's so able to control in real time. His dry but unflinchingly perceptive persona is a level of nuance comedic delivery that
my opinion. So I believe you can see everything truly as a brilliant film for manipulations of an infamous figure like Elizabeth Holmes within an episode of fully a documentary? Well, I think it's
Moore's Fahrenheit 911. The last time we saw a documentary as box office is this. Michael Moore's documentary style as being too fictionalized or too sensational using things like sketch comedy in his conveyance of what he felt
Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim are designed to have us questioning truth and questioning the performances that they're being recorded and the way that what we consider to be truth can be
completely distorted within these type of performances. If you saw the movie, it. And a special thanks to one of our channel members, Gerald McCoy, who supports us at the executive producer level. Thanks, Geraldi. And if you hit
