Big news for California, What Trump Means for Hollywood and Representation, and Why Art Matters | Ep 4

The Actor’s Guide to the End of the World

Welcome to episode 4 of the Actor’s Guide to the End of the World! In this episode, the guys will discuss a new proposal by Governor Newsom boosting CA film TV tax credit to a whopping $750 million, almost double the amount previously. E-Kan also discusses what It was like to go to a SAG W&W meeting (Wages and Working Conditions for the first time) and how it changed his mind on how he looks at the industry. Also we will touch on what the presidential election means for Hollywood, diversity, and a look at what entertainment might look like in the future and share some revelations on dealing with adversity in a volatile industry. Rian and E-Kan share insights on the dangers of entitlement as an actor and then get into a discussion on the subversive nature of comedy.
