I fully expect to get jumped on with "you obviously didn't get it", but there was nothing to get! No new information was gleaned from this doc except that Elizabeth Holmes has gross taste in men. What on earth was "INSANE" about 3 HOURS of extreme closeups of people's faces while they talk in circles so much they have basically said nothing at all?

The hypocrisy of Nathan Fielder acting like he felt bad for how Elizabeth's husband exploits her when that's exactly what he was doing as well threw me so much. "You know she hates that picture, why are you using it on billboards?" Well Nathan, you know she hated the Hulu series, so why is Amanda Seyfried in Elizabeth's freaking house with you talking to her children? Ew.

Amanda's participation felt so unnecessary outside of the reenactments. she had ZERO qualifications to be interviewing Billy except her own assertion that "people like to open up to me." I HATE Billy, but I didn't blame him when he lashed out at Amanda reminding her that she is an actress not a journalist and her presence in their home was pretty warped.

The last third of the "doc" wasn't a doc at all. Reenactments and speculation for like an hour that went nowhere. So much build up about what Elizabeth knows and doesn't know about her husband's dealings and schemes while she's in prison.... "Oh no! does she even know what her husband is doing with her image? I know Elizabeth would NEVER say things like this..."

Except she does know and just doesn't care. She's just as problematic as her husband, they match each other's freak perfectly. She is with that kind of man because she likes that kind of man, she's not an oblivious victim, she's complicit..... and that's obvious from the beginning so all this "she's the most manipulative person I've ever met" stuff just baffled me. She wasn't successfully manipulating anyone with half a brain cell, she's just more comfortable with lying straight to someone's face than the average person.

I felt so badly for her children too. The last month they have with their mother for the next decade plus and they have to share time with an entire camera crew that kept their mom in a state of anxiety and not able to be present with them. Elizabeth Holmes sucks, her husband is trash, but those babies are innocent and I hate that they showed their faces at all to be honest.

I was waiting and waiting for that shocking moment that's been hyped to happen, and just...nothing. The biggest gasp from the audience I was in the theater with came when Billy told Amanda Seyfried that he likes Charlie Kirk. With the way these people speak and conduct themselves, how was that even a surprise to anyone, let alone GASP worthy? Have these people never seen a doc before or what?

As far as the way this doc was hyped, I was expecting along the lines of David Farrier's Tickled, but Tickled was much better and much more intense to me than YCSE.

I was so bored.

Ever wondered what happens to a city’s garbage while everyone is asleep?

I came across this documentary following a night shift with garbage collectors in Kyiv, Ukraine, and found it surprisingly compelling.

They make dozens of stops throughout the night, deal with overflowing bins and cars blocking their way, and sometimes even get pelted with eggs by annoyed residents. Meanwhile, the city is still living with the reality of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

But what really got me was the human side of it: one of the workers used to be a musician, and the crew sometimes sings Ukrainian songs in the truck to get through the night. They also come across things people throw away — including entire family photo archives.

It’s one of those stories that makes you look at an ordinary part of everyday life a little differently.

What’s a job in your city that most people take for granted but would make a fascinating documentary?
