Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ and the politics of getting a movie seen

This week, Kim Masters sits down with Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney to talk about his new film, Musk. Gibney explains how the project grew from two hours to nearly four as Elon Musk aligned himself with Donald Trump, and the unexpected difficulties he faced when major social media platforms initially refused to run ads for the film. He also discusses why he remains confident the documentary will stream on HBO, despite David Ellison’s takeover of Warner Bros. and Musk’s billion-dollar investment in Skydance, and shares his outlook on the upcoming midterms. Plus, Masters and Matt Belloni take a closer look at Musk’s relationship with the Ellisons, what a multi-billion dollar investment from Elon could mean for Skydance’s future, and whether Hollywood talent might think twice about working with the company.

If Democrats Win The Midterms, How Bold Can They Be?

The midterms are upon us and we’ll check in on a few races, including a moderate Democrat in Washington state who’s trying to hang onto her seat. If she wins – and her party does, too – what role will she and other moderates play with Democrats emboldened and ready to fight? Also, Democrats have blasted Team Trump for trying to cast doubt on our election system. But in Alaska’s Senate race, the Democratic campaign is accused of recruiting another Dan Sullivan to be on the ballot so it confuses voters trying to vote for incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. Plus, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seem politically weakened at the moment. If their parties lose seats in their respective elections, we talk about how that might change their approach to foreign policy in Iran and elsewhere. Producer: Leo Duran Host: David Greene Guests: Jonah Goldberg, co-founder and editor-in-chief at The Dispatch - @JonahDispatch Nomiki Konst, political commentator, progressive strategist, and former surrogate for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign - @NomikiKonst

Are We In An Elizabeth Holmes Fever Dream?

‘You Can See Everything’ has totally taken over our corner of the internet. The new documentary about disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has garnered plenty of critical acclaim and awards buzz. But it also ignited many questions about grift and glorifying bad behavior. Did directors Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder exploit or absolve Holmes? Can you call the film a documentary? Did we really need another Elizabeth Holmes project? Sam chats with journalist Liz Plank about the film’s complicated gender dynamics around crime, power and victimhood. Check out Liz’s review of the film on her substack Airplane Mode. The Sam Sanders Show is a production of KCRW and Sam Sanders Productions.

The Lying Mouth Slays the Soul

Lying is the force that is most diametrically opposed to journalism. So why has it been so hard for journalists to combat it? Earlier this month, Brian was asked to deliver a treatise on this question to an audience of journalists, and writing it took him in a bunch of directions he didn’t expect: from a school playground to ancient religious texts to Alex Jones. Afterwards, people kept saying that we had to run it on Question Everything. Here it is. Question Everything is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

The Curious Case of the Fake Florida Newsroom

When Florida reporter Kate Payne stumbled across a local news site called The South Florida Standard, something about it felt off. She’d never heard of the outlet before and didn’t know any of the journalists who were listed on its staff, even though their bios touted long careers in Florida journalism. The articles the site was publishing seemed like very normal local news stories, but they were often plagiarizing the reporting of other Florida news outlets. The coverage didn’t have any obvious political agenda or bias. And Kate couldn’t see a way the site was making any money; there were no ads or ways to subscribe. What was going on here? After Kate told Question Everything producer Zach St. Louis about this, he got sucked into the mystery – and ended up solving it. A bizarre whodunnit for our AI age. Question Everything is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory. Follow us on Instagram: @questionverything.podcast. And subscribe to our newsletter please! Kate Payne reported a version of this story for The Florida Trib, which you can read here. Jeremy Carrasco is director of Riddance and the creator of JeremyFindsAI.

Why Is Everything Gambling Now?

Betting has infiltrated nearly every part of our culture. Attending a sporting event? You’re surrounded by ads for DraftKings and FanDuel. Watching the Oscars? You can bet on that too. There’s even a market for betting on the upcoming midterm elections. No matter where you look, betting is everywhere. Sam is joined by tech journalist Max Read to unpack how gambling became omnipresent, how prediction markets are already influencing the entertainment we consume, and what we stand to lose as a culture in a world that rewards algorithmic slop. Max’s latest piece in the New York Times Magazine is titled “How Everything Became Gambling.” He’s also hosting the ‘Hard Fork’ podcast. Check out more reporting in his ‘Read Max’ newsletter. The Sam Sanders Show is a production of KCRW and Sam Sanders Productions.
