Today we have Josh Olson on the show to talk w/ Trevor about the writers strike. Thru comparison of the politics and creative forces that drove movie and TV making of past with that of the present, Trevor and Josh end up agreeing on more topics than either expected. Get that extra buttery popcorn popped, because in this Labor Day special we are going to Tinseltown!
