The First Writers Guild Strike in the 50s

The girlies break down the complexities of the current writers' strike. With help from film professor Miranda Banks (also known as Julia’s aunt), they delve into the history of the WGA and previous strikes, the alter ego of “W. Hermanos,” and how technology continuously changes the landscape for writers. Plus, we answer the questions you submitted about the strike! Digressions include a mailbox moment titled “BOYFRIEND WANTS TO FUCK HIS DOG???”, the real purpose of The Academy, and Eliza’s 100-year-old piano.
