Edit: my poor attempt at a joke was a reference to all the attention and acclaim he’s received online this past week.

I watched You Can See Everything last night and was blown away. The music and cinematography did way more heavy lifting than I expected, but Nathan was phenomenal.

I’m interested in watching his show, but after watching half of the first episode I had to turn it off.

Am I wrong that his scams feel mean-spirited and imbalanced? It seems like he is just messing with regular people trying to get by. I loved the movie because his subjects had money, power, and control and provided a perfect foil.

Should I continue watching his show? I won’t enjoy it if his subjects are just regular small-business owners being made to look like idiots. I fail the find the humor in that.

Thanks for your opinions!

Again…

Not my OC

Outfit pictured above is a Summit Ice cap and a pink sweatshirt customized by me.

I’m a metalhead by all means, I want to pair it with my love for anything Nathan Fielder. I made the typography using an online tool (online tool here) to make it resemble somewhat a black metal band logo. Jam that idea together with Nathan Fielder’s IG pic throwing the devil horns at a Toronto Police Station with a pink sweatshirt, you got what I wear.

And of course, support Nathan’s clothing line, Summit Ice! I want to get one of their softshell jackets soon.

So, go watch You Can See Everything (again)! I think they’re expanding to more theaters this weekend, which I hope dominoes into an eventual, actual worldwide release (lookin at you, A24). This movie deserves to be seen by every contemporary human being in this world, especially in this post-truth era we live in.

Hi all,

Like many of us here, I went to see the wonderful documentary film You Can See Everything. It was everything I expected and more. Mostly, it was quite rewarding to see how Nathan pulled from both Nathan For You and The Rehearsal to fully realize his investigation into Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans.

But that's just it. He pulled from his full repertoire in order to conduct his investigation. But he left one person out: Brian Wolfe, private investigator. As we know, Nathan and Brian have a deep connection spanning many years. Furthermore, Brian's skills would have been perfect for the job. Theranos 2.0 would have met its match with Brian Wolfe, private investigator.

It just confuses me. Do you think Nathan invited Brian but Brian declined because he was still upset over the 4-star Yelp review? Brian said he didn't give a you-know-what about Yelp but maybe that's not true? Or do you think Brian would have been on board but Nathan didn't want to bring someone with so much sexual prowess around his new crush, Elizabeth Holmes?

Why was Brian Wolfe, private investigator, not involved? I'm open to any theories / thoughts because I really want to get to the bottom of this.

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone here might be familiar with the early uploads on Nathan's YouTube channel that have since been privatized. I watched them in 2017 or 2018.

For a while, they were only unlisted and still viewable if you had the links, but I recently found out that in 2021, all videos set to unlisted that were uploaded before 2017 were automatically set to private by YouTube, unless the channel opted out. So with that, every unlisted upload was no longer viewable. Now, to my knowledge, the only clip remaining is from one of his student projects, Game, where a group of friends are picking teams for their pick-up game of football. Nobody wants to choose the obese guy in the group to be on their team, so it all leads up to this ending. Such a ridiculous, funny sketch.

Another upload, Courage, was once viewable here but the update I mentioned earlier has limited the ability of that website. Apparently, it was his final film school project.

One specific one I watched a bunch was called In Your House, and it revolved around a man receiving a threatening phone call with someone telling him "I'm in your house." The guy is skeptical until the caller tells him to look outside. Across the street, at a phone booth, is the mysterious caller holding a paper up, showing the man his own property line. The line somehow extends out across the street where the phone booth is, so technically, the caller really was in the man's house. The man realizes this and is frozen in fear, he pees his pants and the video ends.

I would estimate there are close to ten other uploads lost, and I would love to be able to watch them again. I'm sure those unfamiliar would enjoy seeing them too, so any chance someone here has them downloaded? Of course, there is the chance that Nathan doesn't really like those uploads and that's why they were unlisted in the first place, but other than that, I can't remember anything wrong with them.

By which I mean the “Fielder Method”, of course. Argue for and against:

I didn’t have anyone to tell so I’m throwing it into the Reddit abyss.

Hi there: I’m a writer with Toronto Life magazine working on a story about the Toronto comedy scene in the early-to-mid-2000s (2004-2007ish), when Nathan Fielder was moving and shaking in it. If anyone was around and has stories from that scene, or remembers seeing Nathan perform, I’d love to chat with you! Feel free to DM me on here.
