    Lance Oppenheim documentaries are usually very well received, and this one is co-directed and hosted by a very popular celebrity comedian following a famously crazy person. It’s kind of the perfect recipe to make a very popular and well liked documentary.

      What exactly made Holmes crazy? All the billionaires are like her, her mistake was getting caught scamming the billionaire class.

        The way she behaved in interviews mostly. This movie makes it even more clear that she is a very unusual person.

          I should’ve asked, what made her more crazy than the other billionaires, because yeah she was nuts. Facebook man has an obsession with, and is emulating Julius Caesar.

          I don’t think Holmes was worse than the other billionaires, truly. A part of me wishes she got away with her grift, that she could’ve taken the money and fled because all she did was scam rich people. That’s also why she is in prison, while the other billionaires are running free.

      Calling Nathan Fielder simply a “popular celebrity comedian” really undersells him. He’s a fucking genius.
