Hello, and welcome to a special breaking news edition of what went wrong.

We're not talking about a movie tonight.

We're talking about the state of movies tonight.

My name is Chris Winterbauer.

I'm one of your hosts, and I'm here as always with the other one of your hosts, Lizzy Bassett,

Lizzy, how are you doing today?

I'm great.

I can't wait to hear from a real out of work writer about what it's like to be going through

this strike.

Well, let me tell you, it's a lot like what it was like before the strike, but no, it actually

was affected in very specific ways by the strike, and I'm excited to talk about it because

of course, the strike has expanded.

So without further ado, if you guys have not been keeping up with what's been going down

in Hollywood, on May 2nd, 2023 at 1201 AM Pacific time, the WGA, that's the writer's

guild of America, representing between 11 and 12,000 screenwriters, initiated a strike.

It was their first strike since 2007, 2008, and we're well over two months into the strike

now.

But very importantly, on July 14th, 2023, the Screen Actors Guild slash American Federation

of Television and Radio Actors, that's SAG-AFTRA, also went on strike.

That's right.

It's a double strike.

It's a double strike.
