Summary

As Liz and Sarah write the first draft of their new pilot script, they remember all over again how hard it is to face a blank page. Rewriting is so much easier than writing! In Take A Hike, they discuss why they enjoyed dressing up (and doing their hair and make up) for a recent night out together. Then, in The Mailroom, Liz and Sarah answer a question about how they became friends with a showrunner at the beginning of their career. Sarah swears this week’s Hollywood Hack will improve your nails: Hard As Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. Finally, Sarah has a book recommendation — Lovely One: A Memoir by Ketanji Brown Jackson.
