Pop Culture Confidential

What is truth, and who gets to tell it? Christopher Rosen, Deputy Editor of The Ankler, joins Christina for a fascinating conversation about why so many of this year’s films and filmmakers are exploring and interrogating the idea of “truth.” From YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING to FJORD to LA BOLA NEGRA and beyond: what questions are they asking in 2026, how is it changing filmmaking, and why now?

It’s the film event of the year! Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, Elizabeth Holmes invites Nathan Fielder to move in with her. The result is You Can See Everything, Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s masterful, riveting, mind-bending documentary about the Theranos founder. Christina Birro and Ryan McQuade dig into Holmes’s elusive nature, the filmmaking, the film’s potential to make Oscar history, and much more. Be warned: spoilers ahead!

Freelance critic Jorge Tenreiro joins Christina to dig into The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin’s follow-up to The Social Network. The film stars Mikey Madison as Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and Jeremy Allen White as Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz, with Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg. Jorge, who is a litigator, also weighs in on some of the interesting legal questions at the heart of the story.Follow Jorge Tenreiro on Instagram @⁠awards_predix⁠
