Amidst the recently unsealed documents in the 'It Ends With Us' legal fiasco are a flurry of texts and communications from Blake Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds. This pod reviews those texts and their lengthy demands for support and action from agents and studios alike, all of whom were expected to defend Blake from the wave of negative public feedback she was getting. Thanks to Ryan's marathon text sessions with WME agent Warren Zavala and former Endeavor CEO Patrick Whitesell, we get a glimpse into the levels of anger, indignation, and love for ghost writing, that drove the infamous apology letter that Wayfarer refused to post. Whether it's the placating style of a Hollywood agent, the pitfalls of ego, the importance of honest optics and acknowledging privilege in light of American history, or the value of an Oxford comma, this debacle continues to serve as a fascinating topic of discussion. 

BONUS: an update on the most expensive documentary ever made, as requested by a criminal for his immigrant wife, directed by a washed up lump of a man seen in the Epstein files who also assaulted and/or drugged several women, and paid for by a billionaire famous for treating his employees terribly and not paying taxes.
