A review of the New York Times-produced documentary "Sin Eater: The Crimes of Anthony Pellicano" highlights the dark history of Hollywood fixers and illegal wiretapping. The documentary, available on Hulu, details how Pellicano served elite clients like Michael Ovitz and the impact his racketeering conviction had on the industry. The hosts recommend the film for its depiction of the "evils" prevalent in Hollywood during the 1990s and 2000s.

Actor Jeffrey Tambor is confirmed to be alive despite public perception that he had passed away, a phenomenon attributed to the "Mandela Effect" or his total deplatforming from Hollywood. Tambor was removed from the public eye following Me Too allegations and his role in the show Transparent. The confusion is linked to the actual death of his former co-star Gary Shandling.
