Watched You Can See Everything yesterday, and my spoiler-free review is that it’s 155 minutes of Nathan Fielder doing the Larry David stare-down, and it gets better, funnier, deeper every minute.

I wondered who, in 2023, would invite Nathan Fielder to film them in their home, and the movie at least solved that mystery for me. The answer: a medium smart guy who thinks he can outsmart one of the most brilliant minds of our time.

Billy Evans is the criminal client who hires the detective and tries to control the story the detective unravels. Too bad he hired Philip Marlowe, or those pesky kids…

I think Elizabeth Holmes is full of shit, but like most great liars, believes her shit earnestly when it suits her. There is no way she didn’t understand the plain reading of her claim about the device’s capabilities. But she probably had enough conviction to play innocent years later, on camera.

A reminder from John Carreyrou of who this person is. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/b...

I don’t buy that she’d never heard of, and also failed to understand “Who’s on First?” She must have known the “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘can’ is” bit was dicey, and when Nathan mentioned “Who’s on First?” reminding them of an earlier conversation, she must have been on alert.

I think one of the reasons Holmes and Evans wanted to put themselves on camera was to sell us on “Elizabeth is too autistic to be held accountable for the way words come out of her mouth.” But that is just not credible. She told a reporter: “we have a single device that can perform any test.”

The phrasing was at best intentionally misleading, and there is just no way she was never informed of the way her statement was interpreted, and had no opportunity to cure the misunderstanding, which happened to positively impact her company’s valuation.

It’s why she’s in prison, this is all just beyond a reasonable doubt.

She and Billy are so close because they’re mutually parasitic. He’s controlling and she needs to pretend to be controlled so she can claim all her misdeeds reside outside of herself. I’m not sure if this is more an act or a coping mechanism, my guess is it’s somewhere in the middle.

He seemed coked up in 2nd half. Amanda really rocked his world when she explained women often fake it.

I don’t think Billy is as mentally committed to the lies. He seemed like he had enough steam to keep up appearances for the initial filming—a battle they’d prepared for, on their own turf. But he lost it in the second half. God bless Amanda Seyfried.
