YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWatch the full conversation with John here
Profits are soaring for T.V. and streaming executives yet they can't pay writers a decent wage. Studios have adopted Wall ST's model of exponential growth at all costs. What does that mean for the creatives behind the shows and movies? Katie and John Rogers also discuss the on-going writer's strike that started May 2nd.
John Rogers is a screenwriter and the creator of the television series Jackie Chan Adventures (2000–2005), Leverage (2008–2012; 2021-present as Leverage: Redemption on Freevee), The Librarians (2014–2018), and The Player (2015). Rogers co-wrote the films American Outlaws (2001), The Core (2003), Catwoman (2004), and Marry Me (2022), and co-wrote the story for the film Transformers (2007).
