Bri LeRose, comedy writer and director, joins the 8 O’Clock Buzz and host Tony Castañeda and Eli Wilz to discuss the status of the work stoppage by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).  There hasn’t been much progress during the past weeks, but that could change after the dispute between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the AMPTP reaches a climax on their contract deadline of June 30. One of the main issues for the writers and actors’ guilds are the growing influence of streaming platforms like Netflix, and their business model which has left many writers and actors struggling to make a living.
