There is a Dr. Evil joke to be made somewhere—maybe everywhere, actually—when it comes to reporting the details of Trump’s new lawsuit against the BBC. I don’t want to rob Esquire’s Charles P. Pierce of the opportunity, so you’ll have to click to get the laugh. —Madison Vain, executive editor

My guess is that this comedy extravaganza comes to a close long before it gets to trial.

It is hilarious on its face that the president is suing the BBC, charging that the Beeb defamed him in 2024 in a documentary about the January 6, 2021, insurrection. The president claims that he was defamed by the documentary in that it barbered his rabble-rousing on the Mall preceding the insurrection so as to emphasize his role in rousing the rabble. He is suing for ... [drops into Dr. Evil voice] ... 10 billlllllion dollars.
Hilarious, I tells ya.

So it’s about Elizabeth Holmes?” my brother-in-law asked me. “Why would I watch that hack?” He had a point. Over a steakhouse dinner on Saturday night, I was struggling to explain why I was champing at the bit to see You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder’s latest documentary about the Theranos fraudster. While munching ribeye with millennial guys in their early forties, whose obligations as suburban fathers have made months pass without us meeting up, it was clear that Fielder’s work was in their blind spots.
But even if you’ve never come across The Rehearsal, and you, too, are baffled how a three-hour documentary has any buzz, here it is: Go see You Can See Everything. Right now, if possible. In a year full of great movies (and good documentaries!), it might yet be the best film of the year.

Fragrance makes a fantastic holiday gift. It’s something they can wear every day, a good bottle lasts for ages, and it feels undeniably luxurious. The only catch? Dropping serious cash on a scent they don’t actually like would, frankly, suck. Luckily, we’re pretty obsessed with fragrance here at Esquire. We’ve smelled, tested, and worn more colognes than we can count—and we know which ones tend to be crowd-pleasers.
It helps to know what your giftee is into. Do they want something light and fresh they can wear year-round? Something dark and smoky for winter? Or are they new to cologne, meaning a beloved classic is the safest bet? (And we know the fan favorites by heart.) Whatever their taste (or level of fragrance expertise), we put our heads—and noses—together to find the best colognes to gift everyone on your list.
