Challenging myself to record a podcast episode a day for my 50th year on this planet.
Hello and welcome to Dailyish
for Monday, October 19th, 2026.
I'm recording an episode every day
for this, my 50th year on the planet.
I'm your host Chris, by the way.
Should I add that to the introduction
for folks who don't know who I am?
I'm making a lot of assumptions, but
This past weekend, we went, our oldest,
my wife and I went to see, You Can See
Everything, the documentary from Nathan
Fielder, I think is how you pronounce
his name, about Elizabeth Holmes.
And I just will say nothing else as far
as spoilers, but I would really recommend
going and seeing it in the theaters.
I feel like I've said
that multiple places.
I actually wrote about it in
my newsletter that's going out
tomorrow, buttondown.com/lemoncasting
is where you can get my weekly
newsletter that goes out every Tuesday.
But anyways, I've said this statement
basically like I would really suggest
going and seeing it in the theater.
I've seen other people
saying it and I would concur.
There's something about it, even
though it defies every reason why.
It's just a documentary.
It's not like some big summer
whatever blockbuster movie.
Doesn't have lots of big
explosions or anything like that.
But there's something about the communal
experience that I feel like it captures
better than a lot of other movies,
where the, the laughs, the angry, the
tension, all those kinds of moments
that happen in film are so present
in this movie and worth seeing in a
theater that's full or mostly full.
Unfortunately, because I
think it's distributed by A24,
it doesn't have a worldwide
distribution right out of the gate.
And so I know from replies I saw
on, on the internet, there's folks
across the pond in Europe I think
is where they're from, where it
doesn't come out for another month.
And so I would really suggest
trying to avoid spoilers if you can.
It's not that there'sâ¦
Obviously we kind of know it's a
real-world story so you kind of know
what has happened if you've paid
attention at all to, uh, the show
The Dropout or Elizabeth Holmes in
the news a- as it's come about and
stuff and Theranos and all the things.
But, uh, just as far as it relates
to the documentary itself, it's gonna
be so hard 'cause there's gonna be
memes and all sorts of commentary
and stuff coming out of the movie.
It just opened this weekend.
It's already just kind of like the
theaters were packed basically, uh,
here where we are, which I kind of
was, wasn't completely surprised given
the online conversation around it.
But it is also sometimes where you're
like it seems really popular online, then
you go into the real world and you don't
really see anybody, you know, watching
Widow's Bay, let's say, on Apple TV.
It felt very popular online,
but none of my friends in real
life here had heard of it.
go see You Can See Everything
if you can, if you like movies.
I don't know.
I don't know how to quan-
quantify it 'cause it's notâ¦
Again, by every reasonable expectation,
it shouldn't be that exciting of
a-- It's almost three hours long.
You need to pee before you go
because, uh, there is no point where
it feels like a natural break to
get out and go pee if you had to.
Don't ask me how I know
And it's absolutely a movie that
I don't know if I wanna see it
with a bunch of folks I knew.
Like, I sort of was tempted to text
a bunch of friends or whatever and
say, "Hey, we're going to this.
Do you wanna come?"
And in some ways, like, I'm kinda
glad I didn't 'cause you kinda would
have to have a-- you almost have to
have, like, a reaction afterwards,
and I kinda wanted to sit with it.
It was a movie where I definitely wanted
to sit and process, sort of simmer a bit.
We came back home and kinda just
talked about it a bit here as a family.
But, yeah, now I'm, like, keen to
either maybe go see it again, I'm not
sure, but definitely to get together,
uh, and chat about the movie and
thoughts and just how it kindaâ¦
What resonated, what stuck
with me longer, what I'm still
processing and thinking about.
And it's also, like, don't-- I hate that
we've built up everything to be like
this is the most amazing thing ever.
Everything has to kinda
be, like, so heightened.
And so it's also fine if
you don't ever go see this.
Like, life will go on.
I wouldn't say it's life-changing.
It's kinda just a really well-done
both documentary and that sort of
genre, but also just larger film.
it's just really well done
All right.
Normally on Mondays I do mailbag Monday.
I didn't have time to get it
all together between work and
stuff that has to happen today.
But I will take time to thank
the Patreon supporters, John and
Justin over at transistor.fm,
Abby Fisher, Eileen Smee, Three Guys With
Questions podcast, my mom, Lynn, and then
over on YouTube membership, Void and Cozy.
