    The white woman tears of Elizabeth Holmes
    Nov 10 2026
    The new documentary ‘You Can See Everything’ has left audiences wondering how the line between fact and fiction is drawn, and who gets to draw it. At the center of the discourse is the film’s subject, convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, and its co-director, comedian Nathan Fielder. Parker and Gene get into the racial and gender dynamics that many reviewers aren’t talking about with writer Hunter Harris and podcaster Ronald Young Jr.

  • Who gets to joke about Israel? (feat. Ilana Glazer & Gianmarco Soresi)

    Who gets to joke about Israel? (feat. Ilana Glazer & Gianmarco Soresi)
    Nov 3 2026
    Being a Jewish comic who criticizes Israel right now means getting it from all sides. Ilana Glazer and Gianmarco Soresi talk to Gene about being called self-hating, getting accused of faking being Jewish, and watching gigs dry up. As comedy has become more intertwined with politics and power, some of the loudest critics of Israel are on the political right, and some of them traffic in antisemitic and racist tropes. Ilana and Gianmarco get into where that leaves them, and who the joke’s really on.
