WGA Strike Chat, Parts 1 & 2
The first half of a talk about the WGA Strike and the issues around it, for the union as well as for other unions. Out guests are Scott Wilson, a longtime SAG member and activist, Marjorie David, a television writer and showrunner, and Paul Haggis, feature writer, writer/director, and television veteran.
How did Haggis make so little on Crash, NetFlix's most popular rental ever? How did the WGA end up with such a lousy residual on DVD? What is the future? Who is paying for the strike already? And are the studios really robber barons?

How long into the interview does Paul Haggis mention the success of "Crash"?

he makes good points but I honestly can't stand the guy.

I just watched Part II. ...

Part II gets really interesting when Dave becomes a whipping boy and also when Scott Wilson gets brave on packaging.
