Are We In An Elizabeth Holmes Fever Dream?

‘You Can See Everything’ has totally taken over our corner of the internet. The new documentary about disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has garnered plenty of critical acclaim and awards buzz. But it also ignited many questions about grift and glorifying bad behavior. Did directors Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder exploit or absolve Holmes? Can you call the film a documentary? Did we really need another Elizabeth Holmes project? Sam chats with journalist Liz Plank about the film’s complicated gender dynamics around crime, power and victimhood. Check out Liz’s review of the film on her substack Airplane Mode. The Sam Sanders Show is a production of KCRW and Sam Sanders Productions.
