25 分钟Actress and writer Franchesca Ramsey joins Chanté this week to talk about the deal the Writer’s Guild of America has struck with Hollywood studios and what life has really been like on the picket line
This is the Guardian.
Just a warning.
This episode has swearing in it, so buckle up.
Writers and actors in Hollywood have been on strike.
Ho ho.
Corporate green has got to go.
But this week, a breakthrough.
It only took 146 days, but the WGA has officially reached a tentative agreement with the studios.
This is actress and writer Francesca Ramsey.
So does this mean that the writers strike is officially over?
Not yet, but we are pretty damn close.
You're listening to Pop Culture with me, Shantae Joseph for the Guardian.
Striking season has been in full effect and I'm sure you've seen images and videos of the most star studded picket line this summer.
A well known name here, Kristen Wiig.
Hi.
It's very important that we're out here and that we're all standing together.
Members of the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild have been on strike for better pay, AI assurances, bigger writers rooms and fairer contracts, as well as many other issues.
Testing, testing.
One, two, three.
This is Francesca Ramsey coming to you live from Los Angeles.
