Jessie also talks about her experience being on strike, as a member of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), and what’s at stake for artists in Hollywood. A rough transcript of the episode is available here. For next week’s movie, MVC will be watching the 2002 drama John Q (with special guest Nina Turner!).To access MVC PREMIUM EPISODES or LEAVE US A TIP click here. MVC donates its ad space to progressive or leftist causes.
