Ep. 455: Remix ‘26 & Zen Gardening

Liz and Sarah are happy to report that a feeling of positivity (at least regarding their life in Hollywood) has descended upon them in 2026. So far the evidence is just anecdotal, but it feels like things are getting better! And in a recent meeting, actor Joy Bryant offered a perfect 2026 slogan — Remix ‘26! In The Craft (& Fain), Liz and Sarah share their inclination to protect characters and how it (negatively) impacts storytelling. Don’t do it! Then, in Take A Hike, Sarah explains how she realized that gardening is her meditation practice. (Is Liz’s listening to Real Housewives podcasts?) This week’s Hollywood Hack is so obvious and yet many of us didn’t know about it — schedule your texts. Finally, Liz recommends the comedy special Robby Hoffman: Wake Up on Netflix.
