Do you remember when "The Interview", the controversial comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, became the focal point of the infamous 2014 cyberattack on Sony Pictures? A decade later, Jenna and Dom sit down with journalist Brian Raftery to discuss his podcast miniseries, "The Hollywood Hack", which unpacks the events surrounding the attack.
Brian's podcast explores the hack's impact on Sony employees, Hollywood, and its intersection with global geopolitics. He talks with Jenna and Dom about the ethical dilemmas faced by journalists covering the story in 2014 and reflects on how those challenges might be approached differently today. They examine topics such as the release of private emails, the broader consequences for Hollywood’s creative output, and the industry’s ongoing conversations around the gender pay gap.
