Thousands of Hollywood writers have gone on strike, calling for increased pay and structural changes to the business model in the streaming era. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) argues that the current system has made it increasingly difficult for its members to make a living. The main sticking points between the guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers include union proposals that would require companies to staff television shows with a certain number of writers for a specific period, whether needed or not. This is the first time in more than 15 years that writers have gone on strike. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Challenge Accepted: https://linktr.ee/challengeacceptedgf Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Level Up!: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree From The Pages: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: geekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

IDW Publishing, one of the largest comic book companies in the US, is undergoing changes in leadership roles and cutting costs by eliminating over a third of its workforce due to a decline in comic book revenues, especially after the end of Locke and Key at Netflix. The company aims to adapt more of its comic book properties into television and film projects but is struggling with that approach. On the other hand, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" will launch its 16th season on Wednesday, June 7, on FXX and Hulu. Meanwhile, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a third-person galaxy-spanning action-adventure game, is set to continue Cal Kestis's story five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

Wizards of the Coast, the creator of Magic: The Gathering, recently hired Pinkerton detectives to recover an upcoming booster box from a YouTuber. The streamer, Dan Cannon, had mistakenly purchased booster boxes that were not yet released while assuming that they were part of the recently released set. Pinkerton agents showed up and intimidated him into giving the cards back, citing several statutes related to copyright infringement and threatening him with jail time and hefty fines if he failed to cooperate. Pinkerton, known for its anti-labor activities in the past, now advertises itself as a risk management and security company, and has also been hired by tech companies like Facebook and Google to spy on their employees. There has been no comment from Pinkerton or Wizards of the Coast regarding their approach to handling the situation. #MagicTheGathering #WizardsOfTheCoast #PinkertonDetectives #BoosterBox #DanCannon #CopyrightInfringement #RiskManagement #SecurityCompany #AntiLabor #Facebook #Google #Kotaku
