The wait is over and so is the strike. After 5 months on the picket lines, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) voted to ratify the agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Could this mean good news for the actors? Their strike continues as negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP broke down. In the face of a rapidly changing world shaped by artificial intelligence and inflation, the labor union movement is making waves with the United Auto Workers union strike and potential strikes in the video game industry. Host Roshini Rajkumar welcomes film critic and The Crisis Files entertainment contributor Paul McGuire Grimes to dissect how these strikes affect Hollywood, viewers, and fair working conditions in general.

NOTE: One day after Roshini and Paul spoke, SAG-AFTRA announced it would go back to the negotiation table with AMPTP on October 2.
