Showrunners Express Solidarity Amidst the Ongoing WGA Strike: ‘We’re Sticking Together’

Hundreds of showrunners picketed the Fox lot on Tuesday, September 12 to show their ongoing solidarity amidst the WGA strike.

“There’s been some things in the press—very, very recently, perhaps—that might suggest there’s a dissident group, which is not the case,” Amy Berg (WARRIOR NUN, CAPER, EUREKA), who organized the picket, tells Give Me My Remote. “We have probably close to 300 showrunners here…If that’s not a big sign of solidarity, I don’t know what is.”

Take Two: THE X-FILES Season 11

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 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.)

Alexi Hawley on the Importance of the Highlighting the Solidarity Amongst WGA and SAG-AFTRA: ‘Nobody’s Breaking This Union’

Over the Labor Day holiday, showrunner Alexi Hawley posted a thread on Twitter, highlighting how WGA and SAG-AFTRA workers have been supporting each other during the two strikes.

“On this Labor Day weekend, with Hollywood still shut down & anxiety levels high, I’m choosing to focus on the positive,” he wrote on the social media platform. “Now, I’m not normally a feel-good story guy, but I was struck this week by the sheer volume of generosity that has poured forth during the course of the strike.”

In the thread, he highlighted the official WGA and SAG-AFTRA funds, as well as a support fund for teamsters, The Entertainment Community Fund, The Motion Picture Television Fund, along with unofficial funds like The Union Solidarity Coalition, Green Envelope Grocery Aid Fund, Pay Up Hollywood, and more. He then crunched the numbers on things like picket line food trucks and other food on the line—a vital resource, frequently providing breakfast and lunch for workers in need—guesstimating there have been easily $500,000 worth of donations for that alone.

“To be clear, none of this is a replacement for a steady paycheck,” he wrote. “We are all desperate to get back to the work we love. But until there are offers on the table from the companies which will ensure the health and future of our business, the strike will continue. But so too will the donations from those with means. Why? Because we understand that every TV show & movie is a collaborative effort, elevated by the work of each writer, actor & crew member who touches it. And we have a responsibility to look out for them in times of crisis.”

The thread was retweeted by hundreds of people, many echoing his sentiments. Days later, while picketing, Hawley spoke with Give Me My Remote about the ongoing strikes, the importance of the workers taking care of each other, the limbo his show THE ROOKIE: FEDS finds itself in, and more. Read more
