Strike-A-Palooza! Screen Actors Guilds Joins Writers Guild -- But Are Their Objectives the Same?

The Screen Actors Guild has joined the Writers Guild of America in their strikes against the studios and producers. Fran Drescher gave an impassioned speech outlining why SAG is striking in a way that was far more coherent than the WGA's list of grievances, but the fact remains both sides have valid points and other areas that are not possible to accommodate simply because the business models have shifted too radically -- but that does not mean there are not answers. Of course, the studios have countered with some truly lame comments that, were it not for recent corporate and publicist behavior, I would have assumed were pure propaganda. Here, we go over some of the takes that are happening as well as analyze some of the controversies.
