| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. I just wanted to make a quick announcement on the podcast feeds. |
| 0:05.0 | Obviously, I've posted this up on all of our social media. I've posted this up on YouTube, |
| 0:08.6 | all that kind of stuff, but I just wanted to put it out there because I know there's a few |
| 0:12.2 | who do the only listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or whatever it may be. |
| 0:16.8 | So basically, we can't release any episodes for the time being because of the SAG after a strike. |
| 0:23.3 | Basically, what it is is that several of the cast members are hopefuls who want to join the union in the future. |
| 0:29.9 | And the union has put out rules that have said that basically anybody who participates in work that promotes struck content, which Power Rangers and X-Men are both |
| 0:40.4 | included in that because they're owned by Netflix and Disney respectively, who are the two big |
| 0:45.9 | ones in streaming. So anybody that participates in that will be blacklisted from joining |
| 0:52.9 | the union in the future. I don't agree |
| 0:55.1 | with that stance. I agree with the cause that they are fighting for, but I don't think that these |
| 1:01.2 | rules or guidelines are particularly fair to people like us who are just trying to make their own |
| 1:08.2 | shows, their own versions of things, but not necessarily trying to promote the originals. But I also see the other side of it is, you know, it'll drive people to go |
| 1:15.3 | and, you know, sell up to Netflix and watch the original shows to compare it to ours, all that |
| 1:18.9 | kind of stuff. So for that reason, I can't release any more episodes. We will continue to produce |
| 1:23.8 | episodes. I will continue to write episodes, the cast will continue to record episodes. |
| 1:29.1 | So hopefully what will happen is if this really drags on, we'll come back and we'll have, |
| 1:33.7 | you know, a two or three episode backlog where I can just be like, right, okay, here we go. |
| 1:39.3 | Week one, episode eight, week two, episode nine, you know, or in X-Men's case, it'd be, you know, season four |
| 1:45.9 | episodes one, two, three, one week after another. |
| 1:48.3 | You know, hopefully that's an ideal world that'll be the case. |
| 1:51.4 | Hopefully it's over sooner rather than later. |
