I was only 8 years old, so I don't remember but I've looked at the pics from that mission and I don't remember seeing 'earthrise' as they call it.

Two German made 70-millimeter Hasselblad cameras were used on the mission-neither were pressurized to prevent the chemicals in the celluloid from smudging.

About the show
Bart Sibrel’s "Moon Man" is a revealing memoir recalling his harrowing journey investigating what really happened during America’s famous Apollo missions. It features hair-raising and life-threatening encounters with government agencies. Sibrel joined guest host Richard Syrett (Twitter) to reveal why he thinks the Apollo moon landings were hoaxed and how government agencies have tried to stop the truth from getting out.
Sibrel expressed his deep skepticism and conviction that the Apollo moon landings were staged. He argued that the anger and resistance people display when confronted with this idea stems from a reverence for science and the Apollo missions being treated as a sort of "god" figure. Sibrel suggested that exposing the moon landings as fraudulent would shatter this trust in government and scientific institutions. He recounted instances where individuals, including media figures like Glenn Beck, vehemently defended the moon landings despite evidence suggesting otherwise.
Sibrel presented various pieces of evidence to support his claims, such as discrepancies in shadows in moon landing footage and the testimony of experts. He dismissed counterarguments about the possibility of moon landing authenticity, citing examples like China and Russia's alleged knowledge of the fraud and the destruction of technology and evidence by NASA. Sibrel also discussed the discovery of unedited footage showing the astronauts faking being halfway to the moon, which he sees as conclusive proof of the hoax.
He reported on the deathbed confession of Cyrus Eugene Akers, who claimed to be head of security at Cannon Air Force Base where the first lunar landing was supposedly faked. Sibrel described how Akers confessed to his son about murdering a coworker who threatened to expose the fraud. He mentioned the involvement of high-profile individuals, including President Johnson, Neil Armstrong, and others, in the alleged deception. Sibrel also touched on broader issues of government corruption and the erosion of civil liberties, advocating for a reset to principles of liberty akin to those of 1776.

To keep the inside of the suit at about 80 F it would have to work as you say.
The other thing is, if this pic was taken back then it would have been in every teen agers room on a poster, and in every science class. Maybe they released this thjree years ago, finally, that's when I found it.
Getting rid of waste heat was indeed an issue. Their backpacks on their space suits contained a clever device to keep them cool. When water sublimates from ice into water vapor in vacuum, it absorbs heat. They had a pump that dribbled water onto a sort of grid called the sublimator (where it froze in the dark) and then sublimated into water vapor in the vacuum. More water went through a heat exchanger in the grid. This water was cooled by the sublimating water and went into tubes in the space suit that kept the astronauts cool.
I’m not sure how cooling worked in the LM, but it was probably similar...hope that explains some things..it seems feesible to me..
There's a lot of questions regarding the missions, the cameras as I mentioned and the cooling equipment on their backs. The tech of those days would have required an ac unit on their backs to be almost as large as a small window ac unit. 120's-160 degrees F on the moon. Dark side is -200'sF
Here is the whole lot of photo's & links to them:-
