Podcast appearances and mentions of Liz Garbus

In this bonus episode of The Ankler podcast, the second of two recorded live on May 18 at L.A.'s DGA Theater, The Ankler and the Directors Guild of America bring you a series of insightful and memorable conversations — presented by Threads — about the art of directing for television. You'll hear Lesley Goldberg's interview with Liz Garbus, who directed the pilot and the pivotal fifth episode of Hulu's limited series “Good American Family,” and Elaine Low's conversation with Jessica Lee Gagné, who made her directing debut on the second season of Apple TV+'s “Severance.” Katey Rich leads two Q&As — one with DGA president Lesli Linka Glatter, who helmed all six episodes of Netflix's political thriller “Zero Day,” and a second with Damian Marcano and Amanda Marsalis, who each directed four episodes of HBO Max's medical drama “The Pitt.” In addition to unpacking their process and craft, these five pros also share advice with the live audience about how to build a career as a director. “Be very drunk in yourself,” Marcano tells the crowd. “Don't rob us of what you have to offer.” Learn more about your ad choices.

As explained by director Liz Garbus ( Bobby Fisher Against the World),  ”Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer is, “A documentary series that follows  the case of young women who went missing from New York City and Long Island.  Ultimately, it's a story about what victims are valued and how when justice fails, people have to step up and demand it for their loved ones.”  You can watch the series on Netflix.   This documentary follows on the success of her docudrama “Lost Girls”, which features a fiery Amy Ryan as Mari Gilbert, the mother of a young woman, Shannan Gilbert, last heard on a 911 call pleading for help from the danger she believed threatened her life. Mari insistently sought justice for her lost child, a crusade which subsequently led to the discovery of the bodies of several other young women on the Southern shore of Long Island.  In the wake of the recent identification of a likely killer of these women (and eventually others), Garbus felt compelled to return to tell the story afresh.  What she reveals is one of a police department that went wrong, and an investigation that long lay fallow, only to be brought to a seeming revelation when key evidence and an indicted killer are recognized for what they truly are.   Hidden Gem:  No Other Land   Follow: @lizfgarbus on Instagram @lizgarbus on X @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

When news that the bodies of four female sex workers had been found on Long Island's Gilgo Beach, it captured the attention of not only the nation but the world. Director Liz Garbus examines this gripping true crime case in “Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer” (now streaming on Netflix) and shines a light not only on the families struggling to serve justice for their lost loved ones, but also the rampant corruption within the Suffolk County Police Department and DA's office. Liz talks to me about what brought her back to this story after writing and directing a “based-on-true-events” feature film about the crime, how the press was instrumental in keeping the case alive, what it was like looking into the twisted mind of indicted suspect Rex Heuermann, and where things go with the case from here.

Was Rex Heuermann Framed? Asa Ellerup Thinks It's Possible After Watching Gone Girls So the ex-wife of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer just watched a Netflix docuseries and now she's wondering if her former husband is the fall guy in one of the most disturbing serial killer cases in recent history. Asa Ellerup, who was married to Rex Heuermann for nearly three decades, isn't exactly screaming conspiracy theory from the rooftops—but after finishing Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, she's raising an eyebrow, maybe two. And honestly, when you dig into the history of corruption inside Suffolk County law enforcement, she might not be completely out of line to ask, “Wait… what if?” Let's start with the dirty laundry, because Suffolk County has more than a few skeletons in its own closet. James Burke, the former police chief, is now best remembered not for solving cases, but for going full WWE on a suspect who had the audacity to steal a duffel bag filled with porn and sex toys from his police-issued vehicle. Burke beat the guy, tried to cover it up, and got slapped with a 46-month prison sentence. Meanwhile, then–District Attorney Thomas Spota, instead of investigating Burke, allegedly helped sweep it all under the rug. He was eventually indicted for obstruction, corruption, and witness tampering. All of this—the beatdown, the porn bag, the cover-up—would be hilarious if it weren't so grotesquely real. Ellerup's legal team is now asking a very real question: if this is how Suffolk County handled its own mess, how can we trust anything in the case against Heuermann? Ellerup, who divorced Heuermann not long after his arrest, is reportedly keeping a close eye on his court proceedings, including the ongoing Frye hearing, which could determine whether the DNA evidence against him even makes it to trial. At the heart of the debate is a forensic method called “whole genome sequencing,” which sounds like something out of CSI: Space Edition. The defense calls it “magic,” prosecutors call it science. Dr. Kelley Harris, a highly respected geneticist from the University of Washington, spent an entire day testifying about how the process works and why it's legit. In layman's terms, it's a super-detailed way of matching DNA, and in this case, hairs found on the victims reportedly tie back to Heuermann or people close to him—like Ellerup and her children. Prosecutors claim these hairs were recovered from the remains or crime scenes of six of the seven victims. That's not small stuff. It could be the linchpin of the entire case. But again, the defense is arguing that this method has never been tested in a New York courtroom and shouldn't be trusted until it's vetted through the proper legal channels. Now, a brief rewind on the horror show that is the Gilgo Beach murders. From 1993 to 2011, a string of women—most of them sex workers—vanished after meeting clients. Their bodies were eventually found dumped in remote spots along Ocean Parkway. Some were bound. Some were dismembered. Many were discovered in pieces, scattered between different sites. It was like Long Island's own version of a true crime nightmare. Heuermann, a 61-year-old architect who looked more like a guy you'd call to fix your kitchen backsplash than a suspected serial killer, was arrested in July 2023. He's been charged with the murders of seven women so far: Amber Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack. He's pleaded not guilty to every single one. And in a move that feels more like legal strategy than desperation, his defense is now asking the court to split the case into five separate trials. The Suffolk County DA's office insists there's no evidence the Heuermann family was involved. They were reportedly out of town during the alleged murders. But proximity and DNA are still in the spotlight. And then there's Netflix, adding fuel to the fire with Gone Girls. Directed by Liz Garbus, who also made Lost Girls based on the 2013 book by Robert Kolker, the series shifts focus from the killer to the victims—their families, their stories, and how the system repeatedly failed them. It doesn't exactly paint Suffolk County in a golden glow. Quite the opposite. And for Ellerup, it was enough to make her question whether her ex-husband was being thrown under the bus by a system with a very shaky track record. She's not denying the tragedy of the crimes. Her attorneys made it clear she extends her sympathies to the victims' families. But she also wants justice to be rooted in truth—not corruption, not cover-ups, and not convenience. For someone who shared a home, children, and a life with the accused, it's personal. Whether Heuermann is a monster hiding behind a suburban life or just a man caught in a very dark chapter of county corruption remains to be seen. But the courtroom drama is far from over. The judge still has to decide on the DNA evidence. And if you ask Asa Ellerup, that decision might just decide everything. #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #TrueCrimeNetflix #AsaEllerup Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Liz Garbus, director of the Netflix documentary 'Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer', discussed the film and the case against Rex Heuermann. Jerry's final update included Pete Alonso on capitalizing after Soto's intentional walk, sports Emmy nominees for play-by-play, Porzingis' 34 points against the Knicks, the Nuggets firing their coach/GM, and Doncic's ejection (claiming he argued with a fan). The "Moment of the Day" asked about potentially fatal caveman-era scenarios. The show ended with Tom Brady's involvement in bringing back the Dire Wolf, prompting Boomer to joke about resurrecting Abe Lincoln.

Liz Garbus, the director and producer of the Netflix documentary, ‘Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer', joins us in the studio to talk about the documentary and the case against Rex Heuermann.

The search for a missing person in 2010 led to the discovery of a woman's body on a secluded stretch of Gilgo Beach. It prompted police to unearth the remains of several more women. Authorities reached a startling conclusion: a serial killer had been preying on sex workers in Long Island for years. For a time, it seemed the case would remain cold, but new investigators utilized overlooked clues and cutting-edge technology to identify the man they believe is responsible for the murders. In the Netflix documentary series Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, director Liz Garbus picks up the story where her motion picture Lost Girls left off. The series chronicles how the investigation into the Gilgo Beach Four expanded into a manhunt for the murderer of at least ten people. It delves into the missed opportunities and public corruption that hindered the search, while also offering a fascinating profile of Rex Heuermann, the man alleged to have used this part of New York as his hunting ground for decades. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Liz Garbus. SPOILER ALERT!

Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer Docuseries Coming to Netflix It took a terrified 911 call from a young woman named Shannan Gilbert to expose what had been hiding in plain sight—eleven sets of remains scattered along Gilgo Beach, the work of a serial killer who had eluded justice for decades. In May 2010, Shannan disappeared after placing a frantic 22-minute call to 911, insisting that someone was trying to kill her. She ran through the quiet gated community of Oak Beach, banging on doors for help, before vanishing into the marshland. It wasn't just her sudden disappearance that rattled Suffolk County—it was what investigators stumbled upon during the search for her. In the thick brush off Ocean Parkway, police discovered a set of human remains. And then another. And another. By the time they were done, there were 11 victims—nine women, one toddler, and one man. It was a horrifying find, but even worse, it begged a question: How did no one notice this sooner? For years, the investigation dragged with no real traction. Families begged for answers. Reporters pressed. The public speculated. And all the while, Suffolk County PD maintained tight control over the case. But in the background, something else was quietly rotting—police leadership. Specifically, then-Police Chief James Burke, who was later convicted in a corruption scandal involving the beating of a handcuffed suspect and a massive coverup operation. That kind of mess didn't just tarnish reputations—it likely delayed justice. Fast-forward 13 years. On July 14, 2023, police arrested Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park. He lived a seemingly ordinary life, commuting to Midtown Manhattan for work and returning home to a quiet suburban street. But authorities now say Heuermann is connected to at least seven of the victims—and possibly more. So how did they finally catch him? The answer lies in a long-overdue task force that, within weeks of being formed in 2022 under new leadership, connected the dots that had been missed—or ignored—for over a decade. Cell phone data, burner phones, search history, and DNA evidence from pizza crust—yes, pizza crust—all pointed directly to Heuermann. Turns out, all of that evidence had been sitting in police files for years. The new Netflix docuseries Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, directed by Liz Garbus, picks up where justice left off. Garbus doesn't just walk us through the crime scenes—she drags the system into the light. It's raw, it's personal, and it doesn't let the viewer look away. Garbus is no stranger to this story. Back in 2020, she directed Lost Girls, a scripted film based on Robert Kolker's book, which centered on Mari Gilbert's relentless fight for justice after her daughter Shannan vanished. After Heuermann's arrest, actress Amy Ryan—who portrayed Mari in the film—texted Garbus in shock: the suspect had once been in her apartment building. A literal brush with evil. That eerie personal connection sent Garbus straight back to the families. She knew this story wasn't over—and it wasn't just about one killer. It was about how a system failed to care until a case landed on its front lawn. The documentary doesn't hold back. It features first-person accounts from survivors and friends of the victims, including women who once worked in the sex trade and shared chilling stories about close calls with Heuermann. One woman, Taylor, tells the harrowing tale of being lured into a house where she believes someone else was trapped upstairs. Her story is laced with trauma, but also strength. She, and others like her, speak now because they couldn't before. The first episode focuses heavily on Shannan Gilbert, and for good reason. Her case was the catalyst. Her 911 call was the moment that broke the dam. Unlike many of the other victims, Shannan's disappearance came with undeniable evidence—an actual recording of her begging for help. And even then, it took years for police to release that audio to the public. Without her, the Gilgo case might still be buried beneath the sand. Episode 2 pivots to the corruption scandal. Burke's behavior didn't just stain the department—it made families feel invisible. It validated what victims' relatives had been saying all along: that their daughters weren't taken seriously. That police leadership didn't care. That sex workers could disappear without a ripple. And the fact that a fresh task force—formed under a new district attorney and command—was able to identify a suspect in just six weeks? That speaks volumes. Garbus's documentary doesn't sensationalize. It humanizes. It lets us meet the women whose lives were lost, not just their mugshots. It invites viewers to understand how those in the sex industry looked out for one another in ways law enforcement didn't. Through Craigslist and cell phones, they created safety plans. They warned each other. They were resourceful, strong, and all too aware of the risks. The show also pulls back the curtain on the man accused of being the Gilgo Beach killer. Heuermann's professional life in architecture brought him into dozens of buildings, including some in Brooklyn—right where Garbus and Amy Ryan live. People who worked with him now recount disturbing interactions: his unpredictable demeanor, inappropriate questions, and an unnerving fixation with true crime. And then there's the timeline. Evidence used to charge Heuermann had been sitting there for years. DNA from one of the victims' burlap wrappings. Cell tower pings. A clue trail that should've been followed long ago. But under Burke's leadership, the department was too busy protecting itself. Gone Girls isn't just a true crime documentary. It's a blueprint of institutional failure, wrapped around a story of unthinkable violence. It shows us what happens when people in power ignore the cries of victims and dismiss entire communities as disposable. It also reminds us what persistence looks like. Families who never gave up. Journalists who kept digging. And filmmakers like Garbus, who knew there was more to tell—even when the headlines stopped coming. #GilgoBeachMurders #RexHeuermann #GoneGirlsNetflix #TrueCrimeJustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer Docuseries Coming to Netflix It took a terrified 911 call from a young woman named Shannan Gilbert to expose what had been hiding in plain sight—eleven sets of remains scattered along Gilgo Beach, the work of a serial killer who had eluded justice for decades. In May 2010, Shannan disappeared after placing a frantic 22-minute call to 911, insisting that someone was trying to kill her. She ran through the quiet gated community of Oak Beach, banging on doors for help, before vanishing into the marshland. It wasn't just her sudden disappearance that rattled Suffolk County—it was what investigators stumbled upon during the search for her. In the thick brush off Ocean Parkway, police discovered a set of human remains. And then another. And another. By the time they were done, there were 11 victims—nine women, one toddler, and one man. It was a horrifying find, but even worse, it begged a question: How did no one notice this sooner? For years, the investigation dragged with no real traction. Families begged for answers. Reporters pressed. The public speculated. And all the while, Suffolk County PD maintained tight control over the case. But in the background, something else was quietly rotting—police leadership. Specifically, then-Police Chief James Burke, who was later convicted in a corruption scandal involving the beating of a handcuffed suspect and a massive coverup operation. That kind of mess didn't just tarnish reputations—it likely delayed justice. Fast-forward 13 years. On July 14, 2023, police arrested Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park. He lived a seemingly ordinary life, commuting to Midtown Manhattan for work and returning home to a quiet suburban street. But authorities now say Heuermann is connected to at least seven of the victims—and possibly more. So how did they finally catch him? The answer lies in a long-overdue task force that, within weeks of being formed in 2022 under new leadership, connected the dots that had been missed—or ignored—for over a decade. Cell phone data, burner phones, search history, and DNA evidence from pizza crust—yes, pizza crust—all pointed directly to Heuermann. Turns out, all of that evidence had been sitting in police files for years. The new Netflix docuseries Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, directed by Liz Garbus, picks up where justice left off. Garbus doesn't just walk us through the crime scenes—she drags the system into the light. It's raw, it's personal, and it doesn't let the viewer look away. Garbus is no stranger to this story.

A newly announced docuseries by Peacock, focusing on the ex-wife and family of suspected Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann, has ignited a firestorm of controversy. The project, which has drawn the involvement of 50 Cent's G-Unit Productions, has raised concerns from authorities and outraged some families of potential victims tied to the case.    Camera crews have been actively filming at the residence of Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's ex-wife, and have even followed her to one of Heuermann's recent court hearings. Ellerup, who is central to the docuseries, is reportedly being compensated for her participation, though the exact sum remains undisclosed. Speculation suggests she could receive as much as $1 million, with additional payments allocated to her lawyer and her children's attorney. Notably, G-Unit Productions and Peacock have not yet responded to requests for comments on this matter.    Departing Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison expressed his discontent, stating, "This docuseries is a smack at the family members who lost a loved one." Suffolk County prosecutor Ray Tierney also voiced concerns, suggesting that the project could impact Ellerup's credibility, particularly if she is called to testify in the case. Despite Ellerup not facing any charges and being out of town during the killings, investigators have uncovered potential ties to the case. A woman recently reported meeting Heuermann and Ellerup at their home in 1996 for a sex party, along with Karen Vergata, who disappeared and was later found deceased near Gilgo Beach in 2011. Furthermore, strands of Ellerup's hair found near the family home were inadvertently linked to Heuermann and the crime scene.    Ellerup's lawyer, Robert Macedonio, maintains her innocence, emphasizing that she is not privy to any details beyond what the media has reported. Macedonio stated, "She wants to believe that the spouse she's been married to for 27 years wasn't capable of these crimes. She wants to see and hear the evidence as it plays out in the courtroom." Prosecutor Tierney, however, questioned Ellerup's motives, suggesting that she might be trying to capitalize on her husband's notoriety, potentially driven by financial incentives.    In contrast, John Ray, a lawyer representing the families of two women whose remains were found on Gilgo Beach, believes Ellerup should be treated as a suspect and thoroughly investigated. He cautioned that anything she discloses to the film crew "can be used against her criminally," emphasizing that she remains within the circle of suspicion.    Sherre Gilbert, the sister of Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance led to the discovery of other bodies on Gilgo Beach, expressed her strong opposition to the docuseries. In a social media post, she expressed disappointment and frustration, condemning the media for exploiting the families and victims of serial killers. Gilbert criticized the Ellerup's reported payday and called out all entities that have profited from her family's story while her own struggles persisted.   In addition to the Peacock project focusing on Ellerup, Netflix is also preparing a docuseries about Heuermann's arrest and the unsolved murders along Gilgo Beach. The series, directed by Liz Garbus, will examine the case against Heuermann and the unsettling disconnect between the three murders he has been charged with and the nearly dozen corpses discovered on Gilgo Beach.    Rex Heuermann, who was arrested in July, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. The docuseries developments surrounding his ex-wife and family have added a new layer of intrigue and controversy to the ongoing investigation into these horrific crimes.

The project, which has drawn the involvement of 50 Cent's G-Unit Productions, has raised concerns from authorities and outraged some families of potential victims tied to the case.    Camera crews have been actively filming at the residence of Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's ex-wife, and have even followed her to one of Heuermann's recent court hearings. Ellerup, who is central to the docuseries, is reportedly being compensated for her participation, though the exact sum remains undisclosed. Speculation suggests she could receive as much as $1 million, with additional payments allocated to her lawyer and her children's attorney. Notably, G-Unit Productions and Peacock have not yet responded to requests for comments on this matter.    Departing Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison expressed his discontent, stating, "This docuseries is a smack at the family members who lost a loved one." Suffolk County prosecutor Ray Tierney also voiced concerns, suggesting that the project could impact Ellerup's credibility, particularly if she is called to testify in the case. Despite Ellerup not facing any charges and being out of town during the killings, investigators have uncovered potential ties to the case. A woman recently reported meeting Heuermann and Ellerup at their home in 1996 for a sex party, along with Karen Vergata, who disappeared and was later found deceased near Gilgo Beach in 2011. Furthermore, strands of Ellerup's hair found near the family home were inadvertently linked to Heuermann and the crime scene.    Ellerup's lawyer, Robert Macedonio, maintains her innocence, emphasizing that she is not privy to any details beyond what the media has reported. Macedonio stated, "She wants to believe that the spouse she's been married to for 27 years wasn't capable of these crimes. She wants to see and hear the evidence as it plays out in the courtroom." Prosecutor Tierney, however, questioned Ellerup's motives, suggesting that she might be trying to capitalize on her husband's notoriety, potentially driven by financial incentives.    In contrast, John Ray, a lawyer representing the families of two women whose remains were found on Gilgo Beach, believes Ellerup should be treated as a suspect and thoroughly investigated. He cautioned that anything she discloses to the film crew "can be used against her criminally," emphasizing that she remains within the circle of suspicion.    Sherre Gilbert, the sister of Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance led to the discovery of other bodies on Gilgo Beach, expressed her strong opposition to the docuseries. In a social media post, she expressed disappointment and frustration, condemning the media for exploiting the families and victims of serial killers. Gilbert criticized the Ellerup's reported payday and called out all entities that have profited from her family's story while her own struggles persisted.   In addition to the Peacock project focusing on Ellerup, Netflix is also preparing a docuseries about Heuermann's arrest and the unsolved murders along Gilgo Beach. The series, directed by Liz Garbus, will examine the case against Heuermann and the unsettling disconnect between the three murders he has been charged with and the nearly dozen corpses discovered on Gilgo Beach.    Rex Heuermann, who was arrested in July, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. The docuseries developments surrounding his ex-wife and family have added a new layer of intrigue and controversy to the ongoing investigation into these horrific crimes.

Free Masterclass About Maribeth Fox: Maribeth Fox has worked with Laura Rosenthal Casting for fifteen years and has had the privilege of working alongside major talents like Todd Haynes, Paolo Sorrentino, Oren Moverman, Joachim Trier, Ed Burns, Mindy Kaling, Anton Corbijn, and Lisa Cholodenko as well as up and coming feature directors, Guy Nattiv, Olivia Newman, & Paul Downs Colaizzo. Favorite credits include Olive Kitteridge and Mildred Pierce both for HBO, Jay-Z's music video for Smile, Wonderstruck with Todd Haynes, A Quiet Place, Modern Love for Amazon and Liz Garbus' narrative feature debut, Lost Girls. Two of her three films at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival broke sales records, Late Night and Brittany Runs A Marathon. Most recent credits include Sharper for Apple TV, directed by Benjamin Caron, Bottoms, produced by Elizabeth Banks, Murder Mystery 2 with Happy Madison, and the upcoming A Different Man from Killer Films and A24. How did you become a casting director? I learned how to work with actors, what they need you to tell them, and what they don't need you to tell them about ego. And I just decided to spend five to seven minutes with actors instead of a career with them. So I switched to casting, and I worked for CBS primetime casting for two and a half years, which was a really good learning experience, but corporate wasn't for me. I wanted to do more film, and I wanted to be freelance so my eight-week job with Laura turned into 16 years. How does a casting director get a film job? So oftentimes, we are one of the first people hired and production companies hire us, producers that know us, that know what The material is that we're drawn to. Sometimes we're hired by our directors who you hope to get repeat business if you've worked with them before. The first thing we'll do is read a script to make sure we're creatively aligned and feel like we strategically know how to cast the job. And then we're offered one of two situations. The first situation is. Attach names to this to green-light the rest of the financing. So we do that side, and then sometimes people come attached to a film, which is wonderful news. And they're like, “We just want you to cast this movie if you like it. And this is who's doing it.” So we're normally found by producers and directors, and we're one of the first hires. So, just a question I have: if you are asked to attach a name talent, and let's say it's one part, let's make this real simple, Sure. How long does it generally take to cast a film, would you say, to attach that kind of name talent if it's a good script? It's a long time. It's a long time, so much so that Laura has received producorial credit on quite a few of her features because of the time, attention, and effort it takes to get those attachments in place. You think about somebody, let's say you're offering something to somebody like Julianne Moore. It could take a month for her to read it. Not because she doesn't read quickly but she's got a lot going on. And somebody of that ilk, their whole team, has to read it. She has to read it. Everybody has to have an opinion. They have to have a discussion about it. And so we try our best to set respectful boundaries with agents and managers to say, “We really need this to be read by this time.” But if a creative team is invested in a certain person, oftentimes, that deadline will stretch. So you could be with one actor for a month or more. We try to get them sometimes to line up like their top three for each part if we're doing more than one part so that if there is a pass, it's not an utterly crushing situation. The producers knew that a writer strike was imminent, and I was a little shocked to hear what you said, that you stopped getting calls about six months before. Can you talk about that and what that was like? It's helpful to know just in terms of our similarity to what actors go through that a lot of our business is independent film and that really continued. That was not a problem. We were still getting calls. We were still getting pings for that, but in terms of the book of business that would streamers and network, which is a lot of people's businesses, they anticipated the strike. And normally, we have no shortage of things to read, think about, sign on to, or not sign on to. And I think all casting directors experienced a similar shut-off. That was very different than the strike in 2008 where we were out of work for a little while, but no big deal. But yes, like the work has been. It's been different this time around. How has it been different, do you feel? So I think a lot of people feel, there's a lot of feelings this time around. Where, as there should be, right? I obviously heartily support the actors and what they're going through, and it's, it's time, right? It's time to do this and ensure everybody gets what they're owed fairly. And also, I think there is, within the SAG interim agreement, there's some stuff where I think we all need to work together in community to understand what everybody does and what everybody is going through and maybe have a little bit of empathy and open conversation and understanding because right now, it has felt a little bit of an angrier time and I understand it. Also, It's hard to think about what life will be like after the strike ends, and I don't know. I think a backlog of projects stopped right before the strike or started to shoot, not believing the strike would fully happen. And those are the things that are going to start to go first. And those things are already crewed up. So, from my perspective, could it be an influx of new work? Maybe. I sure hope so. But also, we have to think about all the stuff that got interim agreements is stuff that mostly was already staffed. And so I wonder how much the huge influx, or if it's just going to be figuring out what's actually going to shoot now and what's going to be put to the side. The great news is that I think you're right about the flood. And actors will feel it. And start to work and self-tape again. And hopefully, it'll get back to business as usual. And I think what's very important for actors to understand is it's not only you who is on strike, it's everybody. I'm so proud to stand with the actors that I love and support in my day to day. And absolutely, we are with you a thousand percent. And also, it's real, right? Many people have turned to survival jobs that they haven't had since they were 22. Everybody's done. Employment is out. And you live in an industry town, so every business is thoroughly affected by the lack of availability of income for people. The actors are the ones who are fighting and are going to get the benefits but do remember when you get on the set, there were a bunch of other people who were fighting right along with you, who are not going to get necessarily, the benefits that you were fighting for. They were supporting you, but the hairdressers aren't going to get any more pay, or hair stylists, the grips aren't going to get anything. I think that AI is an existential crisis for actors, and I don't think that is something I cannot give up my voice and my likeness and have you pay me once and that be okay, so I do think it's a worthy fight and as you said, it's a definite fight. I also think it's in the forefront of what humanity will be dealing with. Bartenders will be dealing with it, taxi drivers will be dealing with it, it just has come. Not here first, but here. We don't do any background casting, and I don't know what that life is. But I do think about that entire loss of an industry. That will go first, right? And it already has started to go. They take your picture; they can pump you in if they need an arena full of people. I've had many family and friends during this time try to like talk in a fun way about chat GPT and those types of services. And they're like, have you played around with it? I'm like, no, I don't want to help it get smarter. And I think it will have real ramifications, and it already is having ramifications for our industry. No, I'm not going to hang out on that service, but thank you so much for asking. What do you want actors to know [00:18:00] about self-tapes? So many things. The first thing is it's a grocery store sample. If you're at Costco, yep, that's exactly right. If you're at Costco and the old woman is serving you pizza, you're not going to steal the whole pizza. You're going to take your sample of a square. We do not expect a fully baked moment for a self-tape. I think artists are artists, and folks are getting bored. And so there's a lot of Heavy wardrobe, heavy movement choice the ability and the time to make almost like a short film. It's not the job. A self-tape should look different than how you would behave if you're on a set with a DP. I think the other thing that I've noticed that I've started to see as self-taping goes on and on, as a public service announcement for actors, is... You're getting too good at them, and I'm going to explain more. I think actors are really great at self-taping now, and it can almost feel robotic at times. Because they've gotten so good at knowing and thinking about, their mentality has shifted from what I want to put forward as an artist that's unique to how can I get this job by thinking about what they might want. And so then they know what pace to do. They know what tone it is. They've done their research and all of those brave, bold choices start to get ironed out and it's safe acting work. It's still beautiful work, but it's safe because they're so good at it. They know exactly what they might want instead of infusing their own artistic uniqueness in the mix. And I think casting directors hear the plight of actors, and I think something great that's going to come out of the strike is, I think there's going to be more options offered. So some actors love the self-tape process and bless, please, if that's how you feel comfortable, wonderful. I will still take time to adjust you via Zoom. If you need an adjustment, if I get your self-tape and there's something close to there, I will still take time for you on Zoom and say, hey, and we'll workshop it together. But then there's, we really do hear actors that they want more of us again. I do think that in-person chem reads and callbacks will start to come back. In the meantime, I think casting directors are far more open to reopening Zoom rooms, to make sure that we're available in some tech-helpful live way so that we can make better connections with actors. I still get lovely, vibrant self-tapes on everything that I do. But generally, I think, there's a mindset that I've been thinking a lot about that actors carry that is, I think trained into a lot of people that it's just a scarcity mindset. And so you come out of school and you're told that your job is so hard. There are so many people competing. You're in constant competition. There's not a ton to go around. SAG releases their statistics that only 3 percent of actors are working. And it creates this mindset that can be helpfully hungry and eager. And it can also really destroy the artistic spirit of what an artist has to offer. I think within that scarcity mindset, the goal of this is how I feed my family. This is how I gain health insurance, pension, and welfare. And I can't make that brave, bold choice because we don't have a casting director anymore. You don't have us in the room to be like, “Okay, let's just do that a little bit faster here. I know the director wants this. Let's just clip it up.” Or give you a simple redirect that could really change your performance. Now, a lot of us are doing that. We are adjusting people who give great self-tapes. Actors feel like I've got one shot at this. I'm sending it off into the void. It better be exactly what I think they want. The one thing that I have always stood by is that it's one audition in a lifetime of auditions. I am going to get the opportunity to audition again, and there is enough work for everyone. What's important for me is what's going on in the work. People ask me, “what do you look for in an actor?” And I'm like I'm looking for the actor who shows up a bit early, not too early. Knows they are, knows themselves. They are good at their job and I'm also looking for someone who when the work starts, they're focused on the work and not what I think of their work. Actors do have it tough in the sense that, it's the only art form where you have nothing to stand behind. You're not painting a picture to show me. You're not singing a song, which is separate from your acting. You're not doing a dance, which is your body and your emotions. But it's just you; it's just your subjective raw emotion. And I think what a lot of actors specifically, I love my New York actors in our market, they've all been to school. They're all crafty, great actors. And I think that a lot of actors think, “Gosh, I must be doing something wrong.” And so much of film and television is just subjective look-based. If you're in an audition with me, you're probably a well-trained, good actor. And so it's not about someone being such a better actor than you are. It's about the dinner party atmosphere we're trying to create. And somebody was a better fit. So we invited that person to the dinner party and not you this time. And that's hard. You can be the most talented actor in the world. You get the opportunity, but ultimately it does come down to who doesn't blink at the end. And I also feel that it's the person who knows they are good at their job. And what I want to give actors the perspective of is, you know what? Maybe you're doing everything right. Maybe you're doing everything right. And you just need to keep doing that. Because a lot of times, it's about what's being written. Are there roles for you right now that really fit your marketing package and your type? Do you fit the world? With our eyeballs. And so that has nothing to do with your craft a lot of the time. You do have to think about this as a business. And so you think about putting somebody on set, and when we get to cast somebody and it's their first job on a set like that's a great day. There is like buoyancy and adaptability that we're looking for in people to be able in that callback setting to turn something on their head if needed, to be able to take direction quickly. And if they're not understanding what we mean or what the director means, ask a question. Nobody's going to think you're stupid. Nobody's going to think you can't hear it well, or like that you don't agree. It's okay. We all have days when we're not that great at our jobs. If I give an actor a direction that's not clear, I don't want them to yes to me and nod their head. I want them to ask me a question and follow it up. If you're not understanding, then the two takes are going to look exactly the same. Read the directions out loud. I think it's really important that when you get a breakdown and, they say, submit it this way and, specifically, do your slate at the end. One of the things that I encourage the actors I work with is to really, read the directions out loud, then you know you've heard it, and highlight anything that's specific. Speaking of breakdowns, I think. A lot of times, people's focus on the breakdown will be the small adjective-filled description that we write instead of knowing that if you've got the audition, the breakdown has already done its job, that part of your job has already been done, your agent or manager or you submitted yourself based on the breakdown. I saw your headshot. I selected you. Now it's done. So you briefly look at the breakdown and ensure you're in the realm, but actors often get old breakdowns. And it's not because we're lazy. It's because we don't want to resubmit a breakdown with a subtle change to hundreds of agents and managers. So if an actor gets a breakdown and they're 55, the breakdown says 30 to 40, they freak out or they think their manager or agent isn't doing a good job. It's you just got an old breakdown; you don't have to worry about that anymore. Focus on the work.

Liz Garbus suggested that when a senior palace aide claimed that members of the Royal family had not been given a right of reply over the Harry & Meghan series, it had given her an insight into the alleged palace mind games the couple had complained about.

"It's absolutely compelling, It's more nuanced than some people are saying." The director of the Sussex's Netflix documentary has accused Buckingham Palace of trying to “discredit” the series. Liz Garbus suggested that when a senior palace aide claimed that members of the Royal family had not been given a right of reply over the Harry & Meghan series, it had given her an insight into the alleged palace mind games the couple had complained about.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 2:30 I've been sick and you can hear it in my voice. It reminds Chandra of Polly Draper from 30 Something. We'll have an episode out next week and will be off the 24th and 31st for the holiday. Royals: Minutes 2:30 to 27:00 Will and Kate didn't even invite the nominees to the Earthshot Awards, which seemed like a parody. The celebrities attended in person though. This is especially hypocritical because there were stories in the British press about how the Waleses were so much better than the Sussexes and how William calls the Sussexes the Kardashians. This would have been a great opportunity to have the scientists get together and network. We got to see Harry and Meghan at the Ripple of Hope Awards, where they were honored for their activism. Meghan was wearing a beautiful sleek white off the shoulder Louis Vuitton gown with sleek hair. She just glowed. We remember her Salute to Freedom Gown because it was shown on the Harry and Meghan docuseries. We got the first three episodes of Harry & Meghan on Netflix and we've both watched them. Liz Garbus did a great job with their story. Most of it was known to us already but it's a great recap of their story and I was blown away by how well it was told. Chandra wishes it had come out earlier. We're not the audience for this series, people who have a passing interest in them are. We hope Omid Scobie is in the second half and we've heard that Christopher Bouzy is in it. We liked how much of Meghan's background pre-Harry the series covered. Meghan was so successful, fun and cool before she met her future husband. The British media has attacked Meghan for not having family other than her mother at her wedding, but the royals told her not to invite her favorite niece, Samantha's daughter Ashleigh, with whom she was close. That was new information to us. We were so impressed by Meghan's mom Doria. We liked how Samantha and Meghan's dad Tom were covered briefly and dismissed. We learned that Thomas's story about being yelled at by Harry on the phone was a lie because all he did was text with Meghan and it didn't even sound like him. We liked the section that put the racist treatment of Meghan into context with Brexit, the commonwealth and anti-immigration sentiment. Meghan explained her fashion choices and why she had a neutral color palette, although we think that's just her style. She also told the story of meeting Will and Kate for the first time and trying to hug them. She was very diplomatic about it. Chandra mentions how Meghan doesn't have deference toward royals because she's American. She'd already met other royals before Will and Kate and we assume that Eugenie and Beatrice were warmer toward her.  Chandra says they wanted to establish their love story before explaining how things went so wrong in the UK. She also mentions the story about how the palaces denied being contacted for comment but that Netflix came with receipts. Harry explained how the press treatment of Meghan was racist and how his family blew him off and told them their wives went through it too. Comments of the week: Minutes 27:00 to end My comment of the week is from SAS on the post where Hecate wrote about Hilary Duff's fitness journey and her battle with an eating disorder. Chandra's comment of the week is from ArtHistorian on the post about how much William hates Harry and Meghan. Thanks for listening bitches!

I AM VANESSA GUILLEN chronicles the life and death of a young Mexican-American soldier who vanishes from a U.S. Army base. Her family leads an international movement to find her and expose ongoing corruption within the military ranks. Vanessa Guillen always dreamed of joining the U.S. Army, but after reporting being sexually harassed at Fort Hood in Texas, she disappeared. After a two-month search, her remains were found in a nearby rural area, sparking rage at Army officials – and a fight for justice. I AM VANESSA GUILLEN follows Vanessa's sisters Lupe and Mayra as they carry her name from protests in the streets to the halls of power in Washington, D.C., and offers a behind-the-scenes look at their tenacious pursuit to change a deeply rooted, controversial military justice system. Featuring interviews with family and friends as well as elected officials like Rep. Jackie Spears and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, I AM VANESSA GUILLEN is a bracing, candid testament to what a family's love can do, even in the face of unimaginable grief. The film was executive produced by Story Syndicate's Dan Cogan, Liz Garbus, Jon Bardin and Nell Constantinople. Director by Christy Wegener joins us for a conversation on the under-reported incidents of sexual assault that are rife in all branches of the United States military, the steely determination of Vanessa's family to find her, bring justice to her murder and organize a sustained effort to bring accountability to the unaccountable military chain of command.

[content warning for sexual assault, neonaticide, truly egregious Foley design] When the subject is the Golden State Killer, the guest is Mike Dunn, who's back to talk about the first three episodes of HBO's I'll Be Gone In The Dark. Directed by Oscar-winner Liz Garbus and others, the six-part docuseries seems to struggle to integrate two narrative styles: a straight-ahead true-crime tale, and a "crimoir" about the wearing effects of researching monsters and the abysses they call home. Does Michelle McNamara's untimely death create a halo effect? Are some Capote comparisons more apt than others? And will we keep watching? In the Cold Case section, I went looking for a Garden State case to pair with the Golden State Most Wanted section...and what I found was so hilarribly bad, tacky, overacted, and downright bizarre that I fully expected Mike to end our friendship after watching it. Murder Made Me Famous S04.E06 covers the Melissa Drexler/"Prom Mom" case in pitilessly cringey detail, including a splash neither of us will ever forget, and when we go to hell for laughing at this trash-isode, it's this show we'll have to watch for all eternity.

[Mgmt. apologizes for various sound issues, incl. 1) construction noise next door; 2) dog being a yappy heller; and 3) Skype throttling Kevin's sound.] Kevin Smokler is back to discuss Liz Garbus's feature on one fragment of the Long Island Serial Killer case -- Lost Girls, based on Robert Kolker's excellent book. We like everyone involved, but aren't sure we can recommend the film, because despite excellent sources and performances (mostly), the film isn't sure who it's for. All Good Things, Andrew Jarecki's FIRST take on Robert Durst's various (alleged?) misdeeds, is worth watching, if only as a primer on the case if you've forgotten what went down in The Jinx. Events of the case have overtaken it, and Ryan Gosling is miscast...and yet an abundance of acting talent and a few flawlessly done moments make it worthwhile. If you must leave the house for a sandwich, please pay for it: it's The Blotter Presents, Episode 136.
