This week: People keep talking about Seth Rogen’s glowup but what’s on the outside is just catching up to all the great work he’s been doing and showing for years. Julianna Margulies’s work now includes hair advocacy. And the language of the writer’s room, from one show to another to your office slang.

This week: Constance Wu's outburst after 'Fresh Off The Boat' was renewed last week, and her iNotes written 'apology', wound up doubling down on what people took issue with in the first place -- but is this a mistake she can recover from? And if not, is there a double standard about why not? Also, Charlize Theron is a celebrated Oscar-winning actress, but what happens when a role demands you do something you have no idea how to? Then we talk with Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, otherwise known as GO FUG YOURSELF!! We talk about their philosophies, their work -- and what happens when a certain celebrity's comment blows up your work day beyond recognition...

“The Long Night” episode of Game of Thrones had a lot of people talking…and squinting. We unpack the work behind the look of the show and the tech that goes into it and we share our thoughts on what was lost in the darkness. From there we get into Chaos Walking, the film featuring two superstars that is over-budget and delayed – and who gets to claim the privilege of making an “unreleasable” movie. Finally…the work that goes into an interview with Sandra Oh.

This week's episode is a near religious experience as Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of NYT bestseller 'Daisy Jones & The Six' tells us why men's interest in her work doesn't interest her, why ambition must be bigger than talent, and why being 'selfish' about the time she takes for work is her biggest struggle -- and the reason for her success. Related - Lainey and Duana die of delight about a hundred times over.

This week: We pressed play on Homecoming, Beyoncé's Coachella Beychella film literally the moment it dropped on Netflix -- now in the first ever Show Your Work LIVE episode, we're joined by Kathleen to talk about how one year later, one incredible show has a whole new set of work lessons for us. Why rehearsal makes her humble, how to correct her staff, the stereotypes she delights in busting, and -- again -- why the specificity of a HBCU performance is entirely universal. Plus, live tears!

This week: As we prepare for the final episode of Game of Thrones, we discuss what we want and what we need as the story comes to a close. Taraji P Henson’s new interview gives us what we want via what she needs. And apparently what Marvel needs when they want to work with Tom Holland is to assign him a babysitter and give him no answers.

Today's episode is all about the Hollywood work questions we can't answer... from a juicy Jenny McCarthy excerpt from the upcoming tell all book about 'The View', why did Barbara Walters lose control of a show she created? And after Game Of Thrones, what are the short-haired roles Kit Harington actually wants? Plus Julianne Moore says she was fired from 'Can You Ever Forgive Me' - but how did it get that bad, that fast?
