The trailer for You Can See Everything, a Fielder and Oppenheim documentary on Elizabeth Holmes, was released in late September 2026, ahead of her surrender to FPC Bryan in Texas. Reporting since has established that Fielder secretly filmed Holmes, her partner Billy Evans and their two children for a month before prison, and that Evans's father posed as an observer named Hanson at jury selection before appearing with the family on the trial's first day. Trial texts show Holmes enjoyed the spotlight and premeditated coverage, contradicting her on-camera claim that her entourage pushed her into it. Holmes and Evans first approached A24 about documenting their lives; Fielder called A24 months later. The film's second half picks up about two years…

Frames the film as the closest thing to testimony
Opens the episode with a spoiler-warned framing of You Can See Everything, noting Fielder co-directed and stars and that Holmes's federal trial had no cameras, so the film is the closest thing to hearing her testify. Setup, not new reporting. - Law&Crime Sidebar, 2026-10-19 (2:09 to 6:06)
Recaps the Theranos backstory before the film
Recaps the Theranos backstory ahead of the documentary: the finger-stick claim, the 2015 Wall Street Journal expose, the 2018 SEC charges, the indictment, the four-month trial and the split verdict. It stays inside the established record, adding only the sentencing figure of 11 years. - Law&Crime Sidebar, 2026-10-19 (6:11 to 8:09)
Walks through the film's two-part structure
Walks through the film's two-part structure: the Del Mar rental with Evans and the children in the 34 days before surrender to FPC Bryan, then a jump of about two years to Holmes in prison. Adds the surrender facility and the press-packet line from Fielder.

Walks through the film's new venture reveals

New angle: The film shows Holmes and Evans starting a new healthcare startup, referenced as Theranos 2.0. - Murder Sheet, 2026-10-20 (31:00 to 34:21)
Walks through the access and the sympathy it builds
Walks through the first half's access and the sympathy it produces: Holmes caring for her two young children in the month before prison. It stays inside the access and humanizing angle already on the record, adding reaction rather than a new development. - Murder Sheet, 2026-10-20 (34:53 to 38:43)
Analyzes Fielder's interview technique and her tears
Analyzes Fielder's interview technique, his use of silence and repeated follow-ups, and reads Holmes's crying as either sincerity or a tactic to stall. Stays inside the film's scenes already on the record. - Murder Sheet, 2026-10-20 (38:34 to 44:25)
Walks through the Who's on First scene
Walks through the Who's on First scene at length: Holmes laughs politely, cannot explain the joke, and Evans says it shows she sees things differently. The hosts debate whether that is quirk or deflection, but the facts stay inside what the film already shows. - Murder Sheet, 2026-10-20 (44:36 to 51:12)
Debates whether the film's portrait is manipulation

Stays inside the film's framing. - Murder Sheet, 2026-10-20 (51:12 to 54:40)
Recaps the film's open-ended portrait of Holmes

Lays out the film's 34-day countdown
Pablo and Wesley Morris lay out what the Fielder-Oppenheim film is: not a Holmes documentary but a film about how Fielder would make one, set 34 days before she reported to prison. They flag spoilers and the documentary-ethics questions it raises.
New angle: The film is set about 34 days before Elizabeth Holmes reported to federal prison. - Pablo Torre Finds Out, 2026-10-22 (15:21 to 17:59)
Rebutts that the film reopens the fraud
Morris rebuts the idea that the film reopens whether Holmes was a fraud, walking through the government's and SEC's findings - inaccurate patient results, inflated revenue, the Pfizer logos - to argue the case is settled and the film is about media-making instead. - Pablo Torre Finds Out, 2026-10-22 (17:59 to 26:14)
Close reads the film's opening scene
Close reading of the film's opening: Billy Evans on the phone, the cut revealing Holmes with a child, and Nathan Fielder lurking in the background as a voyeuristic signal. It stays inside the film's strategies and the 34-day countdown already on the record. - Pablo Torre Finds Out, 2026-10-22 (26:29 to 30:39)
Reads two scenes as tonal shifts
Walks through two scenes: Fielder explaining the Who's on First routine to a Holmes who doesn't get the joke, and the cut to Billy Evans showering. Reads both as tonal shifts that make Fielder an adversarial presence in the house. Scene analysis, not new reporting. - Pablo Torre Finds Out, 2026-10-22 (30:39 to 35:59)
Debates whether the film is love or strategy
Debates whether the film is a love story or a strategy, reading the Who's on First scene as a relationship and a sandwich of two men around Holmes. Adds one detail from the film: an offhand comment that Fielder was going through a breakup during filming.
New angle: An offhand comment in the film says Nathan Fielder was going through a breakup during filming. - Law&Crime Sidebar, 2026-10-29 (19:54 to 21:16)
Explains prison phone rules via the call scene
Walks through the film's phone-call scene, where Billy Evans warns Fielder not to record a call with Holmes, and uses it to explain prison phone rules: three-way calls to unapproved people can land an inmate in segregation, while a recording she did not know about likely would not. - Law&Crime Sidebar, 2026-10-29 (25:03 to 26:58)

Paperny, a prison consultant, argues Holmes knew Billy Evans was seeking a percentage of the documentary deal and calls the arrangement calculating. He also puts a figure on her restitution and predicts a media career over Theranos 2.0.
