Hey Ladies,

Movie Matinee and Post-Bite. NOTE - may I kindly ask for a minimum $1 donation when you come to the event - I'd be grateful as meetup fees have increased greatly over the past several years - this helps defray my costs.

We are hitting the theater this Sunday to see You Can See Everything, the wild new A24 movie that is bound to give us plenty to talk about over food and drinks afterward. If you love psychological twists, strange real-life dramas, or just a good excuse to get together and dissect a crazy story, you won't want to miss this one.

The Quick Scoop

This movie is a mind-bending, surreal look at Elizabeth Holmes—the infamous tech founder who became a household name after her multi-billion-dollar medical company, Theranos, turned out to be a complete fraud.

At just 30 years old, Forbes named her the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world, estimating her personal fortune at a staggering $4.5 billion. She became a Silicon Valley superstar by promising a revolutionary technology that could run hundreds of medical tests using just a few drops of blood from a simple fingerprick.

However, it was all built on a massive web of lies. In reality, the technology didn't work and they were secretly running tests on commercial third-party machines. In total, she managed to defraud investors out of more than $700 million. Instead of a massive financial payout for herself, her fortune evaporated overnight when the fraud was exposed, dropping her net worth straight to $0. She never actually cashed out or sold her shares. Ultimately, she was convicted of federal wire fraud and ordered to pay $452 million in restitution to her victims.

Part of what makes the story so fascinating is how she managed to fool some of the most powerful people in the world. Theranos attracted a star-studded list of notable investors and board members, including:

  • Rupert Murdoch (Media mogul)
  • Larry Ellison (Oracle founder)
  • The Walton Family (The heirs to the Walmart fortune)
  • George Shultz (Former U.S. Secretary of State)

Just 34 days before she was set to trade her luxury lifestyle for an 11-year prison cell, she invited a film crew to document her final days of freedom. Because this is co-directed by Nathan Fielder (the mastermind behind awkward, reality-bending comedies like The Rehearsal), the documentary quickly unravels into a deeply weird trip that completely blurs the lines between what is genuine reality and what is just a calculated performance. It is tense, uncomfortable, and absolutely perfect for a post-movie group discussion.
