The Post-Strike State of TV and Movie Writing
Matt is joined by Bloomberg\u2019s Lucas Shaw to discuss the business of screenwriting in the wake of the end of the writers strike. Most would agree that \u201cpeak TV\u201d is over, and most streamers are cutting back on the amount of television shows they produce each year. Matt and Lucas discuss how this retrenchment will affect the bottom line for writers, and if the slowdown in overall deals will push writers back toward movies. Matt finishes the show by giving a prediction about Beyonc\xe9 and Taylor Swift\u2019s upcoming concert films.\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click here.\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com\n\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Lucas Shaw\n\nProducer: Craig Horlbeck and Jessie Lopez\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
