The Dropout

Will I go to the theater to see it? yeah no no i uh i will wait i i have i have a sneaking suspicion it might be on my screener site very soon so we

can't all be you aaron we can't all get screeners for everything have either of you seen the dropout the mini series that was about elizabeth holmes with amanda c no

actually i didn't

i know naveen andrews is also in it and i haven't seen him since lost so

it's definitely worth watching it is also a very integral part of this documentary believe it or not not necessary viewing this documentary gives you all of the information you need you could go into it knowing nothing about holmes or the dropout or anything and still get everything out of it but it is all all like every basically everything elizabeth holmes related feels like bound together by this movie in a really interesting way

All right.

Well, I'm going to check out the dropout, too.

And I think that'll be good.

We didn't know she was a part of the film.

This culminates in the arrival of actress Amanda Seyfried, okay? This is the person who portrayed Elizabeth Holmes in the Hulu series, The Dropout.

She is not making a cameo in this.

This is a big twist.

It's so meta.

And again, to be clear, it's all based on Nathan Fielder's recollection of those events, but it is so meta watching this.

I mean, it's one thing to see Amanda Seyfried watch footage of Elizabeth Holmes watching Amanda Seyfried play her in the dropout.

Okay, that was a scene.

half of the movie is just sort of fly on the wall nathan's in living with these guys then elizabeth holmes goes to prison and nathan is left trying to figure out have i been lied to this whole time and i i have to know so he sets about trying to keep digging into whether he's being the one who is manipulating these people, whether one of them is being more manipulative than the other.

And the person that he goes to to try to understand this better is the star of the Hulu series, The Dropout, about Elizabeth Holmes, Amanda Seyfried.

Thank you for pronouncing her name correctly for me, because I also can never remember how to pronounce it.

It's Seyfried? I believe so.

came and went for me.

Like I definitely did clock that, oh, she feels a little bit defensive that Elizabeth Holmes is feeling this way towards her.

I was more hit with the moment where in an inception moment, amanda is watching the footage of elizabeth holmes watching the show the dropout starring amanda seyfried

yeah which by the way in the original time when that happens the first time you actually see elizabeth holmes like earlier in the movie watching that i thought to myself i would be really interested to see what amanda seyfried would think of this movie that's what i thought to myself so when she showed up later i was like genius

know.

And for people who have watched The Dropout, which starred Amanda Seyfried, that is also going to play into this documentary.

Heavily.

Heavily.

So that's a little bit, without spoiling anything, if you haven't watched it, maybe watch The Dropout before you go and watch it.

and go to the movies.

She was born

Wow, what does she have to do with it? She played, apparently she played Elizabeth Holmes in some cheesy movie.

I think it's called The Dropout.

Well, then the filmmaker invites her to play Elizabeth Holmes in recreations that they do toward the end of the movie.

And they do the recreations for a reason.
