Did you know
• The filmmakers have said in interviews their story is based on a 2001 National Public Radio "All Things Considered" report about two women in the Seattle suburbs who started a biohazard removal/cleaning service. They are best friends, not sisters.
• The vacuum and cleaning supply store is the same establishment used as Best Quality Vacuum, run by Robert Forster's character as a front business in both Breaking Bad (2008) and El Camino (2019). The actual location on 4th Street in Albuquerque is a furniture store.
• A kiss scene was filmed between Norah (Emily Blunt) and Lynn (Mary Lynn Rajskub) but cut from the finished film.
