Episode 598 - You Can See Everything

NOTE: We go into full spoilers and I suggest you avoid spoilers before seeing it if you can...We give you about 10 minutes before we go into them.

This week, we’re diving into You Can See Everything (2026), the fascinating documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that explores the bizarre and controversial world of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. We break down the film’s unconventional approach to documentary storytelling, its examination of truth and deception, and how it challenges our understanding of the people and events at the center of one of Silicon Valley’s most infamous scandals.

We also dig into the filmmakers’ unusual methods, the film’s manipulation of perspective, and the blurred lines between reality, performance, and storytelling. How much can we really trust what we’re seeing, and what does the documentary reveal about the ways narratives are constructed? Plus, we discuss the film’s biggest surprises, its ethical questions, and whether its ambitious approach ultimately pays off.

Topics include: Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, documentary ethics, truth versus perception, manipulation and deception, the power of language, constructed narratives, the rule of threes, filmmaking techniques, standout revelations, the ending, and our final verdicts.
