The most important out of Hollywood right now is the growing fight on behalf of the makers to get a fair deal so they can keep their lives as working artists and craftspeople. To help us examine this phenomenon through our specialty lens we welcome writer and card-carrying (and currently striking) member of the WGA EMILY KACZMAREK (Monsterland, The Staircase) to talk us through the current moment on the ground and the many wide-ranging implications in the fight for the shape of the industry. And we also took this as a great excuse to look at 1979 Cannes Competition title and Best Actress winner NORMA RAE, starring the great Sally Field. The midbudget movie, the depiction of small town life, the quality of Sally Field's hair, we get into it all together.
