A recent pitch reminded Liz and Sarah that there are many ways to win at work. Maybe they’ll sell their project, maybe they won’t. But either way it’s meaningful to connect with executives — both ones they’ve known for years and ones they’ve never met before. In Take A Hike, they talk about Purge November! What are the questions Sarah is asking herself when deciding what to do with an item? This week’s Hollywood Hack is courtesy of grief counselor and career strategist Laverne McKinnon: Remind yourself, “Pleasure doesn’t have to be earned by solving all my problems first.” Finally, Liz recommends the new hit documentary You Can See Everything about Elizabeth Holmes.

Liz and Sarah discuss excising a pain point from their latest TV pitch — they’ve cut the pilot description WAY down, which is always the hardest to write and the least fun to listen to. Then, in Take A Hike, Sarah shares why it’s a good idea to buy season tickets. In The Craft (& Fain), Liz and Sarah talk about their decision to drill down on the beginning of their novel. This week’s Hollywood Hack is perfect for holiday travel: the Lo & Sons Catalina Deluxe Small Weekender bag. Finally, Liz and Sarah have a joint recommendation — the October 20th, 2026 episodes of the MeSsy podcast, hosted by Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

What did the Elizabeth Holmes documentary leave out about the Theranos scandal? Just 34 days before reporting to federal prison, Elizabeth Holmes invited a documentary crew into her life. Now, the new Nathan Fielder documentary, You Can See Everything, is raising even more questions about one of the most infamous fraud cases in recent history.

In this special feed drop from Lemonada Media's new true crime podcast, Criminally Online, Manhattan public defender Eliza Orlins and criminal law professor Thea Johnson break down the documentary, the Theranos controversy, and the legal questions taking over the internet. Was Holmes a calculating fraudster or a victim of an abusive relationship? Did having children influence public sympathy? And how much of a criminal conviction can hinge on a single word: "can"?

From the Theranos trial to the internet's latest theories, Eliza and Thea separate legal facts from speculation and unpack what the documentary doesn't tell you.

Love what you hear? Follow Criminally Online on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts for more true crime, trending legal cases, and pop culture controversies explained by actual legal experts.
