In this emergency episode, we dive head-first into newly released discovery that blows the Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively saga wide open. We break down Jenny Slate’s deposition (and the actual footage that backs it up), unpack Blake and Ryan’s behind-the-scenes power plays with Hollywood royalty, and read the absolutely unhinged emails sent to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
