A Solid parody of Theronos/Elizabeth Holmes
8 November 2023
A solid satirical take of the plethera of documentaries charting Elizabeth Holmes' silicon valley fraud campaign. Some of the stand out comedy takes aim at the Ken Burns documentary style with a brief wink at his baseball documentaries, a sly jab at the expense of Elon Musk and twitter, and fairly amusing NDA running joke that leads to a character lamenting that its still better then working for Zuckerberg. While writing continues the trend of feeling fresher and more nuanced and the Theronos topic is still virgin territory for comedy writing the overall plot still feels like a rehash of Mr Burns centric episode "A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love". Overall a quality episode in what has been another inspired season of the Simpsons.
