In the fall of 2014, a group of hackers pulled off the biggest Hollywood

heist of all time. They broke into computer servers belonging to Sony pictures and

released hundreds of thousands of top secret documents. The attack would cause an international incident,

upend thousands of lives, and change the movie industry forever.

From Spotify and the Ringer Podcast Network, I'm Brian Raftery, and this is the Hollywood Hack.

Now we have a week off of the challenge so the seven people out there who actually still watch the VMA's can watch.

And I'm actually, I'm actually kind of shocked that I wasn't invited this year.

Oh wait, no I'm not. Because my lifetime band from MTV Award shows apparently is still very much in effect.

From a lot of people know this, I pulled a cognay West at the MTV Video and TV Awards a few years ago and accepted an award for the challenge that I feel like we rightfully deserved.

It was for reality television royalty and I don't think there is a show out there that has done

more and has changed the game more and has been around longer and done it harder and

done it grittier and done it better than every show out there.

So we didn't officially get the award,

but I made sure we, you know, kind of got an honorable mention.

And because of that, I will never be back to an award show

but I digress I should probably stop talking about this before I get a strongly worded email

from the network all All right, so this episode of the podcast is going to kind of serve as like a quarter season
