A FILM SHORTAGE SELECTION + BEST PICKS OF THE MONTH
“This is For You” is a romantic queer short film by Alon Borten

This Is For You

More from the director:

“In my latest short film, “This Is For You”, I wanted to tell an authentic queer love story in a way that refused to compromise on what I would describe as Hollywood’s continued history of censoring queerness. For example, I committed to casting two queer actors for the lead roles. I wanted to bring attention to the fact that the queer films in media over the last decade from “Carol”, “Call Me By Your Name”, “Ammonite”, “Supernova”, “Boy Erased”, and many others seem to have glossed over casting even one openly queer person in a lead role in any of these intimate queer films. While chemistry between two people can exist in film no matter who the actors are, I wanted to see what results could come from bringing two talented queer actors together in a film that was, in at least some way, representative of their past experience. There was an ease and trust Griff and Marc had in depicting heartbreak with their shared queer experience in “This Is For You”.”

This week, we go deep on Billy Evans, the breakout character of “You Can See Everything,” the new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim.

Our host Max Read speaks to Rob Copeland, a New York Times finance reporter, and Erin Griffith, a tech reporter, to discuss what Billy Evans is like when the cameras are off, whether his Theranos-esque blood-testing start-up is a real company and how Silicon Valley is reacting to the film.

Then, we catch up on a few tech stories that caught our attention this week: CoreWeave’s debt, a possible SpaceX-Tesla merger and Joel Kaplan’s Meta exit. And finally, John Carreyrou, the author of “Bad Blood,” returns to answer your burning Elizabeth Holmes questions.
