Matt brings his experiences working in the industry as a post-production supervisor and as an aspiring writer to the conversation, while Jim brings his experience teaching about mass media industries.  Together, they discuss the role of the Writers Guild, the reasons for their current dispute with the motion picture and television industry, and how the continuance of a strike may impact content creation, storytelling, and the economic bottom line for studios and content creators.
