After 118 days, SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP finally reached a tentative agreement, and that means the strike is over.
“We are thrilled and proud to tell you that today your TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee voted unanimously to approve a tentative agreement with the AMPTP,” the Actors Union wrote. “As of 12:01am PT on Nov. 9, our strike is officially suspended and all picket locations are closed.”
So now that the actors can go back to work, what does that mean for the broadcast TV shows? According to Deadline, production is expected to start after Thanksgiving. And that means that they should be able to do 10-13 episodes this season. However, not all of the shows will make it onto the 2023-2024 schedule. Some of them will be pushed to next season.
When it comes to film, Deadline is reporting they could be heading back to work as early as next week.
I am so happy that these strikes are finally over, and people can go back to doing what they love to do!
I love creature features because, most of the time, they are in the joke. For example, Teddiscare knows the concept of an oversized killer Teddy Bear is crazy, but they still made the movie. And it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun!
Plus, you can show it to the kids in your life who have way too many stuffed animals on their beds. After they watch this movie, they will throw all those things out!
Granted, they will be sleeping in your bed with you for a while. But at least they will have room on their beds when they are brave enough to sleep there again.
AMC is launching a new program called Screen Unseen. That is where you pay $5 plus tax to see a movie that no one has seen before. And they won’t tell you what it is until the movie starts. All you will know is what the MPA rated it.
Then, when it is over, write a short review on Twitter with #AMCScreenUnseen to win a film fanatic prize pack.
So would you do it? I wouldn’t because, with my luck, I would have to sit through some boring potential Oscar nom.
Rocky Horror Picture Show came out 48 years ago, and since then, millions of people have done and continue to do the Time Warp. Is Barry Botswick one of the people who still does it?
Yahoo Entertainment’s Ethan Alter wanted to know, so he asked the legendary actor. “I never did the Time Warp. I never did it in the movie,” he said. “If somebody says to me, ‘Well do the Time Warp. Show me how.’ I go, ‘I don’t know how. I can do the Madison.'”
Damn it, Janet. I still love you, Barry Bostwick.
Alter also wanted to know if Bostwick hates it when the audience hurls insults at Brad Majors during screenings of the movie. Bostwick told him, “I love it. I’ve embraced the names that they call me. So much so that I think now I can run for governor of Florida,”
Well, he has been the mayor of New York City on Spin City, so it is not that much of a jump to the left. Although, in Florida it would be a huge jump to the left.
Remember Sharknado? Well, that franchise is over with it. Now, it is time for Monsternado.
A tornado, infested with prehistoric monsters, has formed in the Bermuda Triangle and is making its way towards land. Megalodon, Pterodactyls, Giant Octopuses, Crocodiles, and more attack – now the city must fight to survive against these deadly creatures.
Who needs just sharks when you can have all of those killer creatures of the sea added to the twister?
Monsternado comes from Uncork’d and will be released on November 17th.
