If only a superhero would come down, save us all, and end the strike! Happy belated Halloween! SAG-AFTRA has been on strike for over 100 days. As part of the strike, SAG-AFTRA members are not allowed to promote anything TV or movie-related. SAG members received costume guidelines ahead of the spooky holiday that said your favorite movie and TV characters are off-limits for SAG members, influencers, and SAG hopefuls. P. Diddy either missed the memo, didn’t care, or thought his message was more important. Not only did he dress up as one of the highest-grossing characters in Hollywood history, but he also produced a short film parodying the character’s biggest blockbuster. Tune in now to hear all of our thoughts on the good, the bad, and the ugly of this “Very Hollywood Halloween!” Co Hosts: Gaelyn Smith (@gsmittyyyy) and Caleb McDonald (@calebsubtitles) Executive Producer: Ayanna Costley @ayannacostley Co-Producer: Gaelyn Smith Edited by: Lewis Myers (@modestbroken) PA/Graphics by: Laura McDonald (@lauramichellemcdonald) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nosleeptillhollywood/message

Over the next few weeks we will be discussing stories, structures, and notable figures in Hollywood that Ryan highlights in her book as examples of why things can not remain as they are. This week we tackled Chapter 1 and 2, so it’s not too late to catch up!
