The WGA Latinx Writers Committee and the SAG-AFTRA National Latino Committee held bi-coastal pickets in Los Angeles and New York City last week, drawing thousands of writers, actors, and supporters to the line in support of the ongoing dual strikes.
“This is the most intense one I’ve seen so far,” Kevin Alejandro (FIRE COUNTRY, LUCIFER) told Give Me My Remote of the picket which included speeches, a flash mob from Latinas Acting Up, themed signs (and puppets), as well as a lot of music. Read more

Comments Off on Take Two: THE X-FILES Season 6 (Part 1)
On Friday, September 10, 1993, Fox debuted THE X-FILES. Now, ahead of the show’s 30th anniversary, Give Me My Remote is looking back at all 11 seasons (and the two feature films) in a new daily series Take Two.
If you’ve read About Last Night, this will be formatted in a similar way: Each episode will get its own subsection/reaction, though in this case there may be slight spoilers or alluding to what comes ahead in the series. In the event a major spoiler is discussed, there will be a warning to be extra safe. Each Take Two will cover approximately 5 episodes and will wrap up the Friday before the show’s 30th birthday.
(I’ll also note how I’m watching the episodes, because some of the streaming platforms have utilized syndicated cuts of this show.)
Today, we’re starting season 6! Read more

[This interview was conducted before the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.]
Though KILLING IT’s Craig (Craig Robinson) found success in season 1—via a snake hunting contest—but it cost him something very important: His relationship with his brother.
“I told Isaiah to go on the run—I told him to run because the turning in the snake that that’s gonna win us the 20 grand [would implicate Isaiah in a murder],” Robinson explains to Give Me My Remote in the video below. “I’m trying to save his life and his freedom.”

Comments Off on Sera Gamble Highlights the Importance of Writers’ Rooms
Sera Gamble has been writing for television for nearly two decades—including running shows like SUPERNATURAL, THE MAGICIANS, and YOU—and as she pickets during the ongoing WGA strike, her hope for the future is clear.
“We have to protect the next generation of writers,” she tells Give Me My Remote. “That’s something that is on my mind every time I’m on the picket line. We’re lucky enough to have a union that’s fighting for us, so we have to show that we’re unified.”
