HOLLYWOOD STANDSTILL: The WGA Strike
Episode 3
Wednesday, 24 May, 2023
With your favorite TV shows and upcoming movies put on pause, this episode dives into the WGA strike, unmasking the face-off between Hollywood scribes and the AMPTP. Witness how this standoff is turning the tables in the film and TV industry and setting a new precedent for giants like Netflix in the age of streaming. The episode dives into what’s happening now, what’s going to happen from here, what’s happened in the past, and what the future ramifications of this strike are. This episode is, my attempt, at more investigative journalism into the questions surrounding the WGA Strikes that Hollywood is facing. I found when looking online there was a lot of information spread out all over the place, so this is my attempt to condense it all down into a simpler narrative, to help you better understand the situation and what this might mean for the future of Hollywood, along with your favorite shows.
