【聊了什么 The What】 本期全程剧透！如果你还没看《You Can See Everything》，现在就可以先关掉，看完了一定要回来听。 如果你只是听说过Elizabeth Holmes，没有亲自被她骗过，走过路过不要错过这个千载难逢的被很多大忽悠夹着忽悠的机会！！这一期我们聊的是Nathan Fielder和Lance Oppenheim联合执导、A24出品的“打引号”纪录片《You Can See Everything》。入狱前的最后一个月，Theranos创始人Elizabeth Holmes和伴侣Billy Evans邀请摄制组住进他们在圣地亚哥的海边别墅，全天候拍摄。 从Theranos的创立、《华尔街日报》的调查、吹哨人付出的代价，以及Holmes和Sunny Balwani的关系。接着讨论看完电影后两种截然不同的解读：她是一再被亲密关系控制的受害者，还是连Nathan Fielder都骗过去的操纵大师？我们也聊了这部片子为什么成了硅谷的社交事件，Nathan Fielder的“装傻”和“自闭症辩护”，真人秀和YouTube式的reaction镜头语言，以及这部片子如何挑战了纪录片的范式。 Marked unsafe from spoilers!!! If you haven’t seen You Can See Everything yet, please come back after you watch it. If you’ve only heard of Elizabeth Holmes and never had the pleasure of being conned by her yourself, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get hustled by a whole lineup of master hustlers at once. This episode is about You Can See Everything, the “documentary” (air quotes very much intended) co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and produced by A24. In the last month before she went to prison, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans invited a film crew to move into their beachfront house in San Diego and film them around the clock. We start with the founding of Theranos, The Wall Street Journal investigation, the price the whistleblowers paid, and Holmes’s relationship with Sunny Balwani. Then we get into the two completely different readings people come away with: is she a victim, controlled again and again by her intimate partners, or a master manipulator who managed to play even Nathan Fielder? We also talk about why the film became a Silicon Valley social event, Nathan Fielder’s “playing dumb” and the “autism defense,” the reality-TV and YouTube-style reaction camerawork, and how the film challenges the conventions of documentary. 【时间轴 The When】 00:30 剧透预警，影片梗概 06:43 回到2003年：一个斯坦福本科生、一项贴片专利和Theranos的诞生与崩塌 17:02 解读一：作为受害者的Liz，从打鸡蛋到代管推特账号 23:42 解读二：作为操控者的Liz，两个操纵大师的不同手法 27:55 两处证据：监狱探视后被改口的复述，以及那场游泳 35:25 为什么这部电影成了硅谷现象 42:52 Nathan Fielder其人：给受过教育的男性看的Mr. Beast 44:26 YouTube感：一层套一层的reaction镜头 50:05 装傻与把权力伪装成劣势的“自闭症辩护” 56:34 这部“所谓的纪录片”打破了哪些规则 1:08:26 信任的本质是什么，以及为什么一些文化评论者拒绝看这部片子 00:30 Spoiler warning and synopsis 06:43 Back to 2003: a Stanford undergrad, a patch patent, and the rise and fall of Theranos 17:02 Reading #1: Liz as victim, from beating eggs to her husband running her Twitter account 23:42 Reading #2: Liz as manipulator, and two master manipulators with different methods 27:55 Two pieces of evidence: a retelling that changed after the prison visit, and that swim 35:25 Why this film became a Silicon Valley phenomenon 42:52 Who is Nathan Fielder: MrBeast for educated men 44:26 The YouTube feel: reaction shots stacked on reaction shots 50:05 Playing dumb, and the “autism defense” that disguises power as disadvantage 56:34 Which rules this “so-called documentary” breaks 1:08:26 What trust really rests on, and why some cultural critics are refusing to watch this film 【拓展链接 The Links】 John Carreyrou, Hot Startup Theranos Has Struggled With Its Blood-Test Technology (WSJ, 2015)： Hard Fork: Why Nathan Fielder's ‘You Can See Everything’ Left Us Reeling All-In Podcast（Billy Evans那一期） Culture Study - https://www.patreon.com/CultureStudy/posts/did-you-think-i-173106002 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

【聊了什么The What】 这一期小蓝和一芳请来友台「大波福娃」的酸酸和小苕，一起聊 HBO Max 黑色喜剧《绝望写手 Hacks》：一部从 2021 年播到今年 6 月大结局、拿下 14 座艾美奖的剧集。故事讲的是拉斯维加斯驻场的过气传奇喜剧女演员 Deborah Vance，和一个被行业封杀的 25 岁新人写手 Ava Daniels，如何从针锋相对到成为彼此的创作搭档、伴侣和挚友。我们四个女的从追剧节奏聊起，一路谈到脱口秀创作的真实体验、女性做喜剧要付出的代价、Deborah 与 Ava 之间说不清的关系（老板员工？母女？浪漫爱？），最后落到全剧真正想问的问题：一个创作者要如何被这个世界记住。 This episode Izzy and Yifang brought on Suan and Shao from our sister show DatBeauvoir to talk about the HBO Max dark comedy Hacks, which ran from 2021 to its finale this past June and picked up 14 Emmys along the way. The show follows Deborah Vance, a washed-up legendary comedian doing a residency in Las Vegas, and Ava Daniels, a 25-year-old writer who's been blacklisted by the industry, and how they go from sworn enemies to creative partners, life partners, and each other's closest confidantes. The four of us talk about everything from our binge-watching habits to what it's really like to write stand-up (Suan and Shao both have brilliant sets,) what women in comedy have to sacrifice, and the relationship between Deborah and Ava that defies easy labels (boss and employee? mother and daughter? something closer to romance?) and finally landing on the question the whole show is really asking: how does a creator get remembered by the world? 【本期嘉宾 Our guests:】 小苕 (it/its)：一个擅长端盘子的骄傲土豆 酸酸(she/her)：一包先酸后甜的绿色彩虹糖 Shao (it/its): A potato with Chinese characteristics.

【聊了什么The What】 四个人的大脑里只剩下三件事：尼克斯夺冠、世界杯，以及成年人死不要脸非要过的暑假。 这期依旧没有大纲、没有知识、没有准备，只有氛围。 Only three things left in our four smooth brains: the Knicks winning it all, the World Cup, and the summer break four grown adults shamelessly insisted on taking.

【聊了什么The What】 克里斯托弗·诺兰的《奥德赛》已成为2026年无可争议的文化现象，我们也从书柜的角落里把奥德赛淘了出来。这期节目我们对比了3000年前的荷马文本与2026年的好莱坞叙事——这究竟是对荷马史诗的忠实改编，还是诺兰式的现代男性忏悔录？本期《疲惫娇娃》，我们聊了聊Emily Wilson译本中那个复杂的男人如何被马特·达蒙演绎成了稳重的中年大哥，探讨了佩内洛普、喀耳刻等女性角色在诺兰镜头下如何变得薄如纸片。为何诺兰总是执着于拍“做错事的男人”在内心博弈，而忽视了受害者应有的分量？为何马特·达蒙的脸让人想投他一票，却消解了原作中骗子英雄的油腻感？ Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has become the undisputed cultural phenomenon of 2026, so we dug our own copy of the Odyssey out of the corner of the bookshelf. This episode compares Homer's 3,000-year-old text with Hollywood's 2026 retelling — is this a faithful adaptation of the epic, or a Nolan-style confession of modern masculinity? On this episode of 疲惫娇娃CyberPink, we talk about how the complicated man of Emily Wilson's translation became a reliable middle-aged PTSD vet, and how female characters like Penelope and Circe turn paper-thin under Nolan's lens. Why is Nolan forever fixated on the inner struggles of "men who did something wrong," while giving the victims none of the weight they deserve? And why does Matt Damon's face make you want to vote for him — while dissolving the sleazy, trickster-hero quality of the original? 【时间轴 The When】 02:23 - 《奥德赛》剧情概览：奥德修斯的长路与归乡 05:47 - 工业电影的诚意：演员在船上泡了四个月的真实质感 14:41 - 导演的作者权力：从《奥本海默》的成功到《奥德赛》的空白支票 22:22 - 作为流动的西方正典，为何翻译即创造 39:01 - 独眼巨人Polyphemus：动作奇观对叙事复杂性的牺牲 50:01 - 核心主题：宙斯法则（Xenia）与当代社会对他者的恐惧 62:35 - 麦特·达蒙的“好人脸”与奥德修斯的油腻感 69:34 - 艾略特·佩吉的角色与跨性别政治的潜文本 74:51 - 纸面化的女性群像：喀耳刻、卡吕普索与佩内洛普的改编缺憾 89:01 - 王子成长记：荷兰弟饰演的忒勒马科斯带来的日常温情 100:34 - 尾声：在台下传纸条的听众比老师的课堂更重要 02:23 — The Odyssey plot overview: Odysseus's long road home 05:47 — The sincerity of industrial filmmaking: four months of actors actually soaking on a boat 14:41 — The director as author: from the success of Oppenheimer to the blank check of The Odyssey 22:22 — The Western canon as something fluid, and why translation is creation 39:01 — Polyphemus the Cyclops: action spectacle at the cost of narrative complexity 50:01 — Core theme: the law of Zeus (xenia) and contemporary society's fear of the other 62:35 — Matt Damon's "good guy face" vs. Odysseus's sleaziness 69:34 — Elliot Page's role and the subtext of trans politics 74:51 — Flattened women: what the adaptation loses in Circe, Calypso, and Penelope 89:01 — A prince grows up: the everyday warmth Tom Holland brings to Telemachus 100:34 — Closing: the audience passing notes in the back row matters more than the teacher's lecture 【拓展链接 The Links】 Instagram上跨性别权益倡导者@justflintisfine对奥德赛的点评 译者对诺兰奥德赛的批评 An Uncomplicated Man Elliot Page的专访 Elliot Page Is Ready for This Moment The Penelopiad Middle-Aged Matt Damon is Your Guy What Translator Emily Wilson Thinks of Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Why ‘The Odyssey’ Is the West’s Greatest Story 【买咖啡 Please Support Us】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡： 海外用户：https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm 海内用户：https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm 商务合作邮箱：cyberpinkfm@gmail.com 商务合作微信：CyberPink2022 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Those Abroad: https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm Those in China: https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm Business Inquiries Email: cyberpinkfm@gmail.com Business Inquiries WeChat: CyberPink2022

【一起来读书吧 Bookclub】 《台湾漫游录》线下读书会： 8月9日，我们会在纽约中文独立书店Accent Sisters举办《台湾漫游录》线下读书会。故事讲述了1938年日本统治台湾时期，一位年轻的日本女性小说家来到岛上，希望能一路吃穿台湾，在这个过程中她爱上了自己的女性翻译，但却苦于难以克服殖民者与被殖民者之间的鸿沟。这本书今年斩获了国际布克奖，是首部获得这部奖项的华语原著作品。 读书会链接：https://luma.com/yayseynm "Taiwan Travelogue" In-Person Book Club: On August 9th, we'll be hosting an in-person book club for Taiwan Travelogue at Accent Sisters, a Chinese-language independent bookstore in New York. The story follows a young Japanese novelist who travels to Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period in 1938, hoping to eat and dress her way across the island. Along the way, she falls in love with her female translator, but struggles to overcome the gulf between colonizer and colonized. The book won this year's International Booker Prize, making it the first Chinese-language original work to receive the award.

One is a single-mother story set amid the neon chaos of a Taipei night market; the other is a quiet, slow-burning father-daughter reconciliation unfolding inside an old house in Oslo. On the surface, the cultural backdrops couldn't be more different, but underneath, both films are doing the same thing: turning a house into a vessel for family secrets, and asking how children end up carrying the unspoken trauma of the generation before them, inherited through silences the adults themselves can't put into words. Is the child's-eye filter a clever, light-touch device, or is it a way of prettifying and dodging real harm? Does a father who never says "I'm sorry" deserve to be forgiven — or is the most we can offer him a kind of grace that asks for nothing in return? And should trauma be spoken aloud at all, or is some silence owed its own respect? 【时间轴 The When】 03:50 - 《左撇子女孩》剧情简介：台北夜市里破碎的三代女性 26:25 - 两片中的孩子：以静 vs Eric，谁在拯救谁 31:30 - 母亲与姐姐角色的"男性意淫"式书写 45:43 - 父亲是"Art Monster"：唯一的爱的管道是作品 56:28 - 挪威二战历史、祖母之死与集体沉默 63:16 - Elle Fanning与美国：天真的旁观者，以及一把"骗人"的IKEA椅子 73:29 - Catherine Liu的"创伤文化"理论：好莱坞的同理心剧场 77:14 - 宽恕与原谅的区别：Nora 和 Agnes 的成长弧光 89:15 - 一部关于电影、表演与创伤消费的电影 03:50 - Left-Handed Girl plot rundown: three generations of women coming apart in a Taipei night market 26:25 - The kids in both films: Yijing vs. Eric — who's actually saving whom 31:30 - The mother and older sister as "male-gaze fantasy" — how their characters are written 45:43 - The father as "Art Monster": art as his only channel for love 56:28 - Norway's WWII history, the grandmother's death, and a collective silence 63:16 - Elle Fanning and America: the innocent bystander, plus one very deceptive IKEA chair 73:29 - Catherine Liu's "trauma culture" theory: Hollywood's theater of empathy 77:14 - Grace vs. forgiveness: the arcs of Nora and Agnes 89:15 - A film about filmmaking, performance, and the consumption of trauma 【买咖啡 Please Support Us】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡： 海外用户：https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm 海内用户：https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm 商务合作邮箱：cyberpinkfm@gmail.com 商务合作微信：CyberPink2022 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Those Abroad: https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm Those in China: https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm Business Inquiries Email: cyberpinkfm@gmail.com Business Inquiries WeChat: CyberPink2022
