Take 42 - Writers and showrunners Liz Craft and Sarah Fain, Women's Murder Club, Lie to Me, Fantasy Island

Screaming into the Hollywood Abyss

We talk to writing duo Liz Craft and Sarah Fain.
They talk about the dynamics of a writing duo, when and how they have disagreements and how they deal with both rejection and success.
The practicalities of splitting pay checks, the book adaptation that got away and how they felt about it and the parallel success of Fantasy Island.
They describe the lost project as like 'an ex-boyfriend who you don't want to see in the street' and explained why they won't ever watch it and why it hurt so much.
We also talk about diversity, how being in a duo shielded them in some ways and how they run their rooms.
A fun and honest discussion about Hollywood and their journey through it together.
