Documentary: A Secret Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Stuns
Telluride showed a lot of films this year, but only one broke the internet. You Can See Everything, the nearly three-hour fever dream from comedian Nathan Fielder and filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, follows Elizabeth Holmes through the 34 days before she reported to federal prison for her 11-year fraud sentence tied to her now-defunct blood-testing company, Theranos. The trailer alone sent everyone spiraling, with Holmes eerily assuring Fielder she isn't manipulating him. Telluride kept the screening locked down tight, with attendees not even knowing what film they were watching until they were already in their seats. Book your October 16 plans now, because good luck getting a ticket.

Film Business: Gyllenhaal Questions Venice's Lack of Women Directors
Serving as jury president at this year's Venice Film Festival, Maggie Gyllenhaal was asked about the lack of female directors in competition, and she didn't hold back. "I guess it's just finally become clear that men make better movies than women do," she deadpanned, before turning serious. "There's a systemic problem," she said. "It's much harder for women to get their films financed. Could it be possible that the things women, having had a different experience of being alive in the world, want to make movies about are not always deemed high art? Who decides what's good? Who decides what's valuable?" Imagine how different the box office would look if a wider array of stories were actually allowed to be told.
Music: Stevie Wonder Marks Album's 50th Anniversary
When an album is as big as Songs in the Key of Life, you almost have a responsibility to mark its anniversaries. That's exactly what Stevie Wonder is doing. To mark the 50th anniversary of the culture-defining album, Wonder will embark on an 18-date world tour, performing the record in full at every stop. The album—which Wonder told Q Magazine, per Rolling Stone, is the one he's "most happy about"—debuted at No. 1 on the charts upon its 1976 release. It went on to spawn hits like "Isn't She Lovely" and "I Wish," winning Album of the Year at the 1977 Grammy Awards. At 76 years old, Wonder isn't just revisiting a classic. He's reminding everyone why it became one in the first place.
Film: Primetime Might Be Robert Pattinson's Ticket to Oscar Gold
Could Robert Pattinson finally get his Oscar? Twenty twenty six the year of Pattinson— from The Drama, to The Odyssey and Dune: Part Three in November, he’s on an incredible run. His next project, Primetime, tells the story of Chris Hansen and the creation of Dateline NBC’s To Catch a Predator, the groundbreaking program that lured adults seeking inappropriate relationships with minors online to a sting house where they were confronted by Hansen and police.
The film and Pattinson's performance received acclaim at its Venice Film Festival premiere, but not everyone is a fan. Hansen himself has called the film an “insult” and has taken out ads before every screening for his network TruBlu, where he continues his work confronting online predators.
Oscar campaigns are all about storylines, and early frontrunners have been usurped by controversies in the past. But all of the media attention might make Pattison’s portrayal of the journalist hungry for retribution even more haunting and his chances of nabbing that Best Actor win even more real.
TV: Carole Radziwill Is Back on Real Housewives and Ready to Address the Epstein Files
Carole Radziwill is ready to mention it all. The journalist, author and widow of Prince Anthony Radziwill, first cousin of John F. Kennedy Jr. returns to The Real Housewives of New York, or RHONY, with a storyline ripped from the headlines.
Radziwill’s name was found in the Epstein files through her connection to Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. The two were friends and ran in similar circles of New York society in the 2000s but Radziwill denies knowing Epstein or anything about Maxwell's involvement in his sex trafficking operation. She, herself, was never accused of any wrongdoing and was shocked to learn her friend turnedout to be a “monster.”
Radziwill was a fan-favorite during her five-season run on RHONY where she talked about the grief of losing her husband and best friends Kennedy and his wife Carolyn Bessette in the same year, as detailed in her memoir, What Remains. During her run as a Housewife from 2011 to 2018, she was also known for her tearful reaction to Donald Trump’s win during her 2016 election party and a tumultuous friendship breakup with castmate and business mogul Bethenny Frankel.
Like any good Housewife, Radziwill said she isn’t shying away from the controversy. In the season 16 trailer, she is confronted on the streets of New York City and asked by castmate Sai de Silva if she went to Epstein’s island.
Radziwill knows how to play the Housewives game. She’s gone through unimaginable loss and put up with five seasons of Ramona Singer. She can handle a few tough questions across a dinner table.
