Episode description

GamerDude decided to go a little more "current events" in this week's episode. He first talks about the writers'/actors' strike going on in Hollywood. He looks at some of the history of writers' rooms and actors' residuals. He talks about summer re-runs, and DVD sales, and how the business model that gave us those things has changed, which has lead to the current strike in Hollywood. And, to be clear, GamerDude supports the writers and the actors 100%.Because of all the indictments being handed down in recent weeks (including new ones while GamerDude was editing this episode), he also decided to take a few minutes to explain what indictments are, what they mean, and how a prosecutor gets one. He also talks about how, in years past, the sum and substance of the indictments against trump would have been completely disqualifying for another run for president, and the fact that they're not is a sad commentary on the state of the United States.
