The original post for this episode can be found here. John August: Hey, this is John. John: You are here for Scriptnotes, a podcast about screenwriting and things that areβ¦. It is remarkable to be here at the Hollywood Bowl, a dream come true. Craig: You know what? Today I was out on the picket lines, and we were talking about-. John: Oh, hey. I worried we were going to have some anti-writer people here in the crowd.
I was out on the picket lines. I talked about, oh, we have a live show tonight. Today is the th day of the Strike. Did we plan this? John: A hundred percent. Craig: John, to be clear, you do have a little bit of a weird and creepy, and what I honestly think is somewhat a bit of an anti-union secret.
John: All right. John: I would never disparage anything about the WGA. I love wearing it there. I love seeing a field of blue. They are not comfortable shirts.
John: The official blue shirts are union-made, and the union is not the probably here. They are percent cotton. We learned from our own Scriptnotes producer, Stuart Friedel, his sense of softness, what do we need for a T-shirt to be comfortable? Craig: No. They are hair shirts. They chafe your nipples. Do not wear. Craig: They actually might.
I got to tell you, I think that we have the worst of it. Quinta Brunson is here. John: These are guests who are not only incredibly talented writers, they are also actors.
