More info:
- The actors walk off at the end of June if the studios don’t sit down with the writers
- Rumor is directors will follow. This will grind everything to a halt.
- Nobody is asking for a boycott. Neil Gaiman has pointed out that making Good Omens S2 a huge hit actually puts more pressure on Amazon to negotiate with the writers
- This implies it’s okay to catch up on old streaming content without breaking the line too
- This is a screenwriter strike; books will keep coming out.
- Movies already made will keep coming out for months. Again, actors have not called for a boycott; you aren’t breaking the line if you go see a movie.
- I don’t know where this puts podcasts but none of them have studio funding or platforms so they’ll probably keep going.
- Substack/Tumblr book club are all public domain works and will keep going. In addition to Dracula Daily there’s Whale Weekly, Dickens Daily, My Dear Wormwood (The Screwtape Letters), Letters from Watson (Sherlock Holmes) and more.
- Your local library always needs love. With the Libby app you don’t even need to physically go there.
