"I Am a Camera": John Wilson on Magic Tricks, Nathan Fielder and How to Make a Documentary

October 8, 2026·50 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In a crumbling empire of ludicrous wealth and slop, filmmaker John Wilson keeps showing us what it means to be human — even (and especially) when that involves poop and/or circumcision. The director of "The History of Concrete" sits down with Pablo to contemplate how A.I. is forcing Hollywood's hand, what Nathan Fielder (and the Hallmark Channel) taught him about storytelling, and why art can live in peaceful conflict with the demands of reality and journalism. Plus: Tim Tebow in the Philippines, Dwyane Wade in an elevator... and balloon fetishists.• See "The History of Concrete" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
