Actors are getting back to work but are the best days of television behind us.

Welcome to Motley Full Money.

I'm Deedra Willard here with Motley Full analyst Bill Barker.

Bill how are you today?

I'm well, thanks.

Well, you know who else is well? I think are the Hollywood actors. Our season of strikes and it has been a season it's

finally winding down sag after they reached to deal with the studios last night

which means content engine it's going to start ramping back up again. I saw a report last night and deadline said the strike caused Southern California around 6.5 billion

and 45,000 entertainment jobs.

What do you think about the long-term ramifications of the strikes? One of the things I'm

wondering is if companies have learned maybe to be sort of cleaner about their content and will probably cut costs more.

What do you think?

Well, I think you're going to have to wait a little bit until the actual terms are released.

Until they are ratified by the union membership, they're not going to be given to us.

And so a more intelligent response to that will have to wait but yes I mean that's not the only response that you can have on this show so

The AI was a part of all of this and a big part I think probably the corporate level was thinking gleefully about how many people to cut out of the equation

with AI and I think that the terms of the contract came up and sort of at the right time in order to address

this before AI gets away from the acting community.

So I think they've inserted, you know, their negotiations at the right time when it's evident

what will be coming, but it's not too late to change the equation

before it works dramatically against the actors.
