Summary

For the first time in 63 years, Hollywood has a double strike on its hands. Actors have joined writers on the picket lines – in an effort to take on the tech giants who have disrupted TV and cinemas in recent years. Alex Andreou sits down with screenwriter Karey Kirkpatrick to discuss streaming platforms, the threat of AI on creativity and Chicken Run 2. “Every industry is scrambling with regulations around AI. This isn’t just a Hollywood problem.” “If you want to be a professional writer at the highest levels, you must be in these guilds.“ "Tech companies don’t understand how Hollywood works." www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex Andreou. Producer: Liam Tait. Assistant Producer: Adam Wright. Audio editor: Simon Williams. Managing editor: Jacob Jarvis. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison.
