Also, there's no direct evidence that she's doing this "to change the whole narrative about herself."

Maybe I read too much into it, but in the trailer you posted she said "I'm not that person, I can promise you that" at the very beginning. We will see.

Nathan Fielder has become the most fascinating person in Hollywood. In a world where people constantly (and rightfully) complain about the lack of creativity and new ideas out of the industry... this guy comes up with the most fascinating, insane, bat**** things ever imagined. I have no idea how he does it, his brain should be studied.


And I still think The Curse is one of the most amazing things put out in recent memory.

He's highly intelligent for one; and most likely autistic. He obsesses in the small things, and small interactions, in every day life that most people would just shrug off. I agree with you, he is very interesting.

I don't think I could sit through 2 hours if it's anything like that teaser. That scene was creepy as f. Both Holmes and the dude interviewing her.

So is that actually her? Looks like an AI filter or something. Or is that some kind of artistic statement about her being robotic?

Nathan for you is gold. The rehearsal was good. Friendship was meh.

Have high hopes for this. He's talented.

Not that anyone asked, but he does nothing for me. He is constantly forcing awkward situations and it gets pretty tiresome. That's his whole shtick and there's not much there beyond that.

I can't even imagine what the "twist" is, but it's been so consistently mentioned, positively, it has to be wild.

A 3 hour documentary itself is wild, and I'm shocked this didn't go to streaming as a miniseries.

Was he shooting this at the same time as The Curse?

I am so intrigued. I watched that trailer probably 4 times yesterday.

Having listened to multiple Elizabeth Holmes podcasts and being a fan of Nathan Fielder's work - This is a crossover I wasn't expecting.

Wow, this is genuinely one of the creepiest clips I think I have ever seen.

She may just be certifiably insane, or doped up to the gills, but she seriosuly comes across as an alien trying to pass for a human lol. "I'm engaging with you as a human being...why would I deceive you"...goodness...CREEPY.

I'm wondering what this doc could actually be about that would make it as compelling as some of the reviews claim. Her story is well known so I doubt there are any new revelations about the criminal case. This doesn't seem like it is another of the docs with "new info that challenges the guilty verdict".

Does she bare her soul and admit to everything including faking her voice or does she put out a sob story?

I would find a doc where she actually takes full ownership of what she did fascinating.

I doubt that anything compelling about this doc would be around the case and its details. Defrauding investors, overpromising, and underdelivering happens regularly. I would think that the most compelling thing is peeling back the psychology behind people who are willing to go down this route. We've seen that before with other docs, sure. But a live-in experience with the subject itself? That part is interesting to me. I mean, look at her eyes dude.

Got them "I support Lindsay Clancy" eyes.

I'm not likely to ever watch this so I looked up the "twist."
Ok.

I'm with you. He looks vaguely familiar but I've never seen or heard of those other couple movies of his.

I guess I'm missing something as to why everyone is acting like this is some life changing, ground breaking documentary?

I looked him up and he's not even familiar. Never seen him before.

He has a tendency to take mundane things and make them into insanity. What started off as trying to learn how Sully saved that plane over the river turned into him building a larger than life nursery so he could pretend to be a baby Sullivan being raised by 12 foot tall puppet parents. He recreated a section of an airport complete with security checkpoints and people going about their day in the fake airport.

This ended with him becoming a certified 737 pilot and flying people around for 2 hours

Everything he does is to an extreme

Wow can't wait for this! For a time I was truly obsessed with this case. Devoured everything I could - the HBO doc, the movie (I think it was on Hulu), multiple podcasts. Went down all kinds of rabbit trails. I'm definitely in on this.

Nathan for You ran for four seasons, from 2013 to 2017, on Comedy Central. It's a "satirical docu-reality comedy series" that's pretty much a cult classic at this point, and personally one of my all-time favorite comedies. At only eight episodes per season, with each episode running only 22 minutes, it's super easy to knock out all 32 episodes, and is currently available on Paramount+, HBO Max, and multiple other services. I would definitely start here.

The Rehearsal, Fielder's follow-up series, has aired two seasons on HBO so far (six episodes each), in 2022 and 2025. It's basically the "prestige" version of Nathan for You, and season two, in particular, is pretty jaw-dropping, as it features one of the most incredible feats/reveals I've ever seen in something like this. Granted, this show isn't everyone's cup of tea - it's not as accessible/funny as Nathan for You - but man, if you do jibe with it, it's amazing.

The Curse is Fielder's only scripted series to date, airing on Paramount+ in 2023, between seasons of The Rehearsal, co-starring Fielder and Emma Stone. Fair warning, though, it's easily the least accessible of his stuff, and weird as hell. But like The Rehearsal, if it's even remotely on your wavelength, it's pretty ****ing incredible, and features one of the wildest, most what-the-**** series finales of all time. Personally, I loved it.

Basically, overall, think of Fielder as our modern day Andy Kaufman, except more dry/deadpan, and more hipster-friendly, but perhaps even more committed to "the bit." In that sense, Fielder and Holmes together in this way is kind of like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, and we can't wait to see the result. It's like Batman and the Joker finally squaring off.

I'm jealous of people who are just now discovering him who get to watch all those shows for the first time... especially NFY.

She is an absolutely crazy *****, but her real mistake was trying to do biomedical science. Lots of (honest) tech guys have gone broke when faced with human biology.

She should have started an AI company. She'd be a free woman and a multibillionare

Why comment on a movie thread of a man you've never heard of and expect to understand it?

If you haven't seen or heard of Nathan Fielder start with Nathan for You and The Rehearsal. You'll quickly realize if his sense of humor is to your liking or not

Thank you for clarifying. I've seen that Thanos guy with the power glove and those gemstones a few times before
