In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our revitalized TV and streaming podcast, co-hosts Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez dive into Hulu’s Theranos/Elizabeth Holmes biotech catastrophe mini-series, “The Dropout.” Based on the true story, the TV series chronicles Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes' attempt to revolutionize the healthcare industry after dropping out of college and starting a technology company for which the technology does not actually exist and is in no way possible (read our review here).

At the top of the episode, our hosts discuss their thoughts on the limited series, the outstanding bits of nuance that are integrated into the story, Amanda Seyfied’s Emmy-worthy performance, and more.

After the conversation, Writer/Showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether stops by to discuss what made her want to tell the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos.
