With your favorite TV shows and upcoming movies put on pause, this episode dives into the WGA strike, unmasking the face-off between Hollywood scribes and the AMPTP. Witness how this standoff is turning the tables in the film and TV industry and setting a new precedent for giants like Netflix in the age of streaming.
The episode dives into what’s happening now, what’s going to happen from here, what’s happened in the past, and what the future ramifications of this strike are. This episode is, my attempt, at more investigative journalism into the questions surrounding the WGA Strikes that Hollywood is facing. I found when looking online there was a lot of information spread out all over the place, so this is my attempt to condense it all down into a simpler narrative, to help you better understand the situation and what this might mean for the future of Hollywood, along with your favorite shows.(00:00:00) Introduction

In the first episode, my co-host and I will be discussing the interesting and complicated use of Time-travel in pop culture, and diving into the plausibility of it and which famous film has the most accurate representation of it. We dive into Einstein’s work of relativity, or more simply E = MC2, and its relevance in the Christopher Nolan film: Interstellar. We also examine the Grandfather Paradox, a famous paradox that forms with the notion and theories surrounding time travel, and what that means for time travel in pop culture.
For those of you who’ve listened to the podcast and want to learn more about the topics from today, below are links to different works that inspired today’s episode:
- Interstellar, by Christopher Nolan
Perhaps the biggest Inspiration for this episode, and really drove home the idea of telling a complex theme in a short amount of time- Time Machine, by H.G. Wells
This novella was recommended to me by a friend a few months prior to writing the idea of this episode. A great, short read shows how little the concept of a time machine has progressed.- “Time Travel is Theoretically Possible”, by Business Insider
An interesting read about the actual plausibility of time travel, and, indirectly, also a comment on the Grandfather Paradox that we discuss in this episodell sound effects and music used in this episode were licensed for creative use by Callum Saunders, through Artlist licensed number 7u4ISA.
“Back to the Future” 1985, is owned by Universal Pictures, and excerpts from it are used under the Australian Fair Dealings Acts and U.S. Fair Use rights.
