Laney Gossa: Hollywood wants to turn screenwriting into Uber and acting into DoorDash. The end goal is for Hollywood to become a strict gig economy where laborers reduced to on demand services for pennies, you had corporations and the men who run them, get even richer as everyone else starves around them. LZ Granderson: Big business feels like it's okay to marginalize people and systematically squeeze them out of their livelihood while those at the top are fat cats.
Today, a conversation with one of the most impassioned leaders of Hollywood’s historic double strike: Fran Drescher, star of The Nanny turned SAG-AFTRA president. We discuss what broke down in the union’s talks with AMPTP, her last words at the negotiating table, her leading concerns for a new deal – and whether this could all ramp up to a run for office.
