Matt is joined by Bloomberg\u2019s Lucas Shaw to discuss the looming WGA strike on the day of its negotiation deadline, and how a likely strike will affect the industry.

They close the show by making a prediction on the length of the strike.\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click this link: puck.news/thetown\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Lucas Shaw\n\nProducer: Craig Horlbeck and Jessie Lopez\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
