Sam and Emma are joined by Nicole to discuss some updates on day 26 of the SAG-AFTRA strike and Day 100 of the WGA strike. Nicole gives a brief rundown on the main issues for SAG-AFTRA in their labor action(being treated with dignity and respect by streamers, corporate executives, and producers, raising minimum wages in a new agreement so actors can qualify for healthcare.) Nicole breaks down the discrepancies between linear network TV and the streaming model that has taken over, with syndication benefits no longer applying to shows on streaming, an enormous sea change in the industry that is ultimately penalizing creators while the people behind streaming platforms get more rich of the backs of those same creators. Nicole elucidates how there has still been no clarity on the metrics behind the success and failures of shows on streaming, which gives them leverage to not have to give in to any demands to the creators because there’s no mutual frame of reference. This, as Nicole explains, the companies hire analytics companies like Parrot, so that they have this information while the creators themselves aren’t permitted access to that data. Sam asks Nicole if he thinks there’s a potential to any cleaving between the wants and needs of a subscription model for a business like Netflix compared to a business like Amazon, something Nicole says, while she can’t confirm this, is hard to fathom because 1. They’re beholden to their shareholders and 2. They don’t have to adhere specifically to a fall schedule like producers did under the linear model. Nicole offers her perspective as a member of the disabled community in show business, an audio description narrator, and how both of those groups are even further marginalized by the inequities inherent within why SAG-AFTRA is striking for better conditions. They then touch on “interim agreements” and what they entail, as well as the AMPTP trying to strike a wedge between the WGA and SAG-AFTRA (unsuccessfully) before Nicole jumps off.
