Summary

Liz and Sarah are making progress on their pilot script — it’s gone to the producer. In this uncertain time in Hollywood, they’re making a point to celebrate all the small victories on the development path, and this is one of them! In Take A Hike, Sarah talks about why sometimes we all need to take a “sick” day — even if we’re not actually sick. Then, in The Craft (& Fain), Liz and Sarah talk about why they still ALWAYS print a script — nothing takes the place of actual paper. This week they Amplify the Netflix documentary Will & Harper, in which Will Ferrell takes a cross-country road trip with his longtime friend (and former SNL head writer) Harper Steele, who recently came out as a trans woman. The Hollywood Hack comes from an HIH listener: Roc Paper Straws. Finally, Sarah has a yummy recipe recommendation — GF Jules Gluten Free Apple Bread.
