John and Craig tackle the issue of assistant pay in Hollywood. Last week they called for assistants to share how much they were getting paid and the impact of those wages. They received a record number of responses highlighting the inequities in the industry. Using these emails, they take a look at the biggest issues with current pay and the challenges ahead.
We also discuss videogame writing, spec features, and thesauri.
Thank you to all of the Hollywood assistants who wrote in for this episode!
