"I think it's a sign that the studio side has said enough is enough," Puckerman says. "We are continuing to see fallout, and one of the issues that's arisen with this situation is that certain companies who are not signatory with the AMPTP have been getting waivers so they could start shooting"

After months of stagnation, the AMPTP has asked the Writers Guild back to the negotiating table. Is there a deal to be made? Plus, Disney re-hires some familiar faces as consultants.

Then, director Sam Pollard discusses his new doc The League, which pairs his love of baseball with his ongoing examination of Black history, and discusses working with producer Questlove and the “uphill climb” of documentary filmmaking.
