Podcasts about WGA

This episode reflects on the news that the Writer's Guild of America settled its strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The WGA announced they were thrilled with the resolution. The main issues were streaming residuals, AI integration, and higher wages. The actor's union, SAG-AFTRA remains on strike with negotiations scheduled as of the release of this podcast. Rahul Telang is Trustees professor of Information systems at the Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University and at the Tepper School of Business. He joined this episode to discuss the issues that led to the strike, and where will the streaming industry go, paying particular attention to the superhero genre. Dr. Telang does extensive consulting and speaking at various firms. In particular, he has been working closely with Disney and Warner Brothers on their streaming and Home Entertainment business strategy including pricing, streaming, and licensing strategies.

The road may be long and hard, but we'll get there and we'll see a better world. And our children especially will see it.”Rome Wasn't Built in a Day, But This Movie Sure WasRome, Open City is adapted from a book of true stories about living through the Nazi occupation. Co-writer and director Roberto Rossellini took these tales of survival and wove them into a gripping drama about the Italian resistance. Filmed using non-professional actors and real Roman locations, the movie has a gritty, documentary feel. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we conclude our series on the nominees of the 1947 Academy Awards for ‘Best Writing, Screenplay' with Rossellini's iconic 1945 film Rome, Open City. Reel Talk on Real LifeWe unpack this landmark of Italian neorealism that was filmed on the war-torn streets of Rome just months after the Nazi occupation ended. The filmmakers wanted to capture the rawness of life during wartime. Iconic scenes like Pina's death as she runs after the Nazi truck became cinematic landmarks. The movie birthed a whole movement in Italian neorealism.Women Navigating Impossible ChoicesPina, played unforgettably by Anna Magnani, is the fiancée of resistance fighter Francesco. Her violent death scene is one of the film's most wrenching moments. Dancer Marina gets caught up spying for the Nazis in exchange for drugs and fur coats. We see how she becomes compromised and is discarded when no longer useful. German officer Ingrid manipulates Marina through addiction. She represents the female face of Nazi villainy and moral corruption.War's Impact on the Next GenerationThe tragedy of the film is how war devastates the lives of children like Pina's son and the street boys who witness Pietro's death. Yet the image of these boys resolutely marching back into the city provides a hopeful note that the youth may lead Italy to a better future.Enduring Classic Is BornRome, Open City packs an emotional punch that holds up decades later. It's essential viewing for anyone interested in Italian cinema or World War II stories. This landmark film demonstrates how constraints can breed art and truth. So check it out then tune in!

The union, if it does its job right, will get some people rich. But it's making sure that everybody that's working can at least afford to eat and have shelter.” [7:15] “The film industry being in Hollywood is at least, partially about labor history.” [12:55] “People want screenwriting to be so formulaic and so rule-driven.” [17:35] “You're not gonna find your voice in the first script you write.” [29:55] Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web https://nofilmschool.com/ Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool Twitter  https://twitter.com/nofilmschool YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool Send us an email with questions or feedback: podcast@nofilmschool.com!

Hello from the negotiating table! This week, it's just us, talking more hot labor summer and a bit about poetry (Tammy recommends the work of Mai Der Vang!). [9:00] After 146 days on strike, the Writers Guild of America, which represents about 11,000 screenwriters, announced on Sunday that they'd reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP studio group. (Forgive the timing of this ep: the WGA released details of the tentative agreement on Tuesday night, after we had recorded; members will still have to vote on the deal.) [23:00] Meanwhile, as one strike (maybe) ends, another expands! Nearly 20,000 United Auto Workers members across 40 states have walked off the job to demand a fairer share of record profits from the Big 3 automakers, seeking to reverse Great Recession-era losses and prove the might of a new and improved UAW. In this episode, we ask: Why does so much of the public support the WGA strike, a white-collar union whose ranks include very highly paid (less sympathetic?) members? How sturdy is the very new, seemingly democratic operation of the UAW under Shawn Fain?Can this union wave bring back American manufacturing, or are we just buying time before another big offshoring push? What's with EVs and the enviro dimensions of car-making? For more, see: * Tammy's dispatch on the WGA strike and animation labor for the New York Review of Books* An In These Times podcast that touches on UAW's unionization push within higher ed * Previous TTSG convos we reference in this ep, about the WGA, UAW, Labor Notes unionism, deaths of despair, and more: * Listener Qs: Barbenheimer, hot labor summer, & white-Asian relationships in film (July 2023) * A.I. scab-bot$, with Max Read (June 2022) * Is it finally Strikevember?!

Russell Brand, Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Mila Kunis, Drew Barrymore, and so many more. Entertainers have been accused of a variety of things over the years, with many on the internet screaming they should be cancelled or never work again. Therefore, we decided now was a perfect time to launch into a deeper discussion on separating the art from the artist. Why is it easier for some than others to separate these elements, and is anyone ever actually right when it's their own personal choice? This is our main topic this week, and it's a heavy one.  Also this week, the WGA strike is finally over and we've got the details, plus an Office reboot looms just over the horizon. All this and more on a new episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast!

How often do you think about the Roman Empire? Well, this week Tug requested a wine from Rome so Kathryn's opening up “the nun wine.” Yes, this delightful white wine from Lazio is made by sisters of the Cistercian order and has quite a cult following.

The Ryder Cup, the world's most prestigious team golf tournament (go USA), is taking place in Rome this week - just 90 minutes from the winery. At home, well, bedtime is a mess.

The WGA is back at work today as the union ends its nearly five-month strike. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA's strike could wrap up by Thanksgiving, according to one prediction.  Many Americans aren't happy about a Joe Biden v. Donald Trump rematch in 2024.

To kick things off, I've got New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, actor and filmmaker Gabe Dunn on the podcast, who you may already be familiar with from their popular book and podcast Bad with Money. In this episode, Gabe shares their personal finance journey from navigating private school as a lower-income kid, to studying at an elite college accruing mountains of student debt, to working an unpaid internship that got them further into debt to afford food and rent, to eventually becoming one of the most honest and vulnerable voices in the personal finance space today. Not only does Gabe openly share the mistakes they've made and lessons they've learned along the way (so you don't have to repeat them), but they also share the raw truth about managing money with bipolar disorder and the real costs of transitioning especially in the midst of losing health insurance due to the WGA strikes.

Then, they talk about the first three episodes of ‘The Gold,' a heist show so well done that it transcends the limits of its genre (37:15). Hosts: Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald Producer: Kaya McMullen Note: This episode was recorded prior to details of the WGA agreement being released. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this Wednesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, former President Donald J. Trump gets hit with another bogus legal attack from the left, with news dropping that a New York judge ruled Trump committed fraud while building his real estate empire. With pointless and baseless attack after pointless and baseless attack, the Democrats are just making the former President stronger as he aims to take the Oval Office once again in 2024. In other news of the day, there's been a victory for the anti-illegal migrant movement led by colleague Curtis Sliwa as a Judge rules that the migrant shelter at Staten Island's St John Villa Academy must be vacated immediately, the WGA strike is set to end making way for the end of the actor's strike that will hopefully follow, and Hall of Fame Baltimore Orioles third baseman Brooks Robinson passes away at the age of 86. Lou Gelormino, Curtis Sliwa, Bill O'Reilly, Joe Benigno, Joe Tacopina, Peter King and Michael Savage join the show on this hump day edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning.

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Laura is off, but she'll be back next week! In her absence, Andrew and Pam welcome their friend (and former Hypable staffer!) Tariq Ra'ouf, to the show! You can find Tariq online at Twitter and Instagram. It looks like the Writer's Strike has officially come to an end! We react to the news at the WGA has reached a tentative deal with the AMPTP Pam fills us in on what happens next now that picketing has stopped, and Andrew details some of what fans can expect after writers in Hollywood resume work. It's a pop culture palooza this week! To kick things off, we dive into the rise in popularity of universities offering courses on some of today's biggest pop stars. Is teaching classes on Taylor Swift and Beyonce a smart tactic in getting students excited to learn, or is it all just good PR for the universities greenlighting these classes? Is there space in the classroom for pop culture? We definitely think so! As our discussion on cool college courses comes to a close, Andrew and Tariq get vulnerable as they discuss dropping out of university. Check out Professor Julian Wamble on TikTok, who teaches a Harry Potter course! ‘Fourth Wing' fans, rejoice! Your excitement over our recent recommendations of the Rebecca Yarros written novel didn't go unnoticed! To wrap up the show, we host a little spoiler free book club dedicated to this year's hottest fantasy read! We talk about what it is that sucked us into the book and kept us reading. Pam and Andrew have some fun recounting the spicy plot point they didn't see coming. ‘Fourth Wing' sequel, ‘Iron Flame,' is coming out this November— will any of us be heading out to Barnes & Noble's planned midnight release parties for the book? We take the opportunity to reminisce a bit on all the midnight release parties we attended growing up. This week's recommendations: ‘Crying In H Mart' by Michelle Zauner (Pam), WaterPiks (Andrew), and recording artists Jungle and Whethan (Tariq). And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts: WTF news is back! Tariq joins us as Andrew shares a carefully curated list of news stories centered on the overarching theme of “butts.” This time around we're trying something new: ending this latest installment of WTF news on a high note with some cute news! Is After Dark always this gross, Tariq asks? *shifty eye emoji* Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
