0:00.0	In the fall of 2014, a group of hackers pulled off the biggest Hollywood
0:04.2	heist of all time. They broke into computer servers belonging to Sony pictures and
0:08.7	released hundreds of thousands of top secret documents. The attack would cause an international incident,
0:14.3	upend thousands of lives, and change the movie industry forever.
0:19.2	From Spotify and the Ringer Podcast Network, I'm Brian Raftery, and this is the Hollywood Hack.

1:32.3	And then of course on Thursday it's Kamala's night to shine. So the real point of the
1:36.6	convention is the delegate roll call, but that has already happened online.
1:40.5	It was basically pre-planned to avoid any hijinks from uncommitted delegates.
1:45.6	So this is more of a show infomercial kind of thing than anything else.
