This week we're talking about the Grey's Anatomy Texas spin-off landing in LA — good news for production in a city that needs it. Also some drama during the final show of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a gut punch for the crew and their families. Family members of crew that were working for the network for 17 years were turned away at the taping... The guys get into what happened and the tension between studios, execs, and the entertainment workers. That segues into the power of collective bargaining and the benefits of having a union like SAG-AFTRA, specifically the 48-hour audition rule that was stipulated in the 2023 SAG-AFTRA TV agreement. There was a video with a casting director spreading dangerous misinformation about this rule, so the guys had to get into it and set the record straight when actors' fear and resentment are peaking. And listen to the end to hear why E-Kan considers himself “a high functioning recycling bin”. Empowering actors one week at a time, thanks for listening!
