They talk about why she wrote her book exposing Hollywood's ugly underbelly, the WGA strike, the sad demise of "Sleepy Hollow" and the racial overtones that helped doom the first horror series with a Black woman co-lead, and what can be done to create a better future.

Great content from 2 of my favorite authors!

Just finished listening to the episode with Reginald Hudlin. They have the coolest guests . The conversation let's us see behind the showbiz curtain but also gives good advice for aspring writers/artists. Love it!
