Summary
Season 21, Episode 2
The AMPTP and the Hollywood Strike
(Support Union Labor!)
The writers' and actors’ guilds are on strike. While movie and television studios have earned record profits, the workers who make those profits possible are not getting their fair share.
So, let’s talk about it. This episode will be a little different than our usual episode. We will explain who the players are, what the strike is about, and why we should be supporting it because the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are the creeps in this situation.
