I just watched it, it is indeed 10 minutes about the VM, of which five are a tangent about Nostradamus. This seems to be prompted by a small remark of Lisa's that some people like to see the VM in the tradition of Nostradamus - not even suggesting that he may be the author.
I am left with the question of what exactly the difference would be between phonemic transcription of spoken sound and medieval written text. For a large part, they wrote how they spoke. Of course there were things like abbreviations, capitals, positional variations only found in written language. But those may help to explain Voynichese oddities.
