Made in 🇨🇦, set in the 🇺🇸, with VO acting, and a few other things, in between.
Grateful to back for the third and final season of “What If…”, this time as a certain ‘well known sorcerer’ who shows up in episode 5: “What if… The Emergence Destroyed The Earth.” Now streaming on Disney+. Thank you, to everyone at Marvel Studios and Atlas Talent.

“Last Best and Final.”
Carol’s three favorite words — because they’re a classic unionbusting trick.
The WGA got “last best finaled,” and we kept right on negotiating for the AI protections we needed.
Because AMPTP rhetoric doesn’t change the facts.🧵

A few high-profile members are pressing SAG-AFTRA negotiators to take a deal.
A unique challenge for Hollywood unions is that some members think success in *individual* negotiations makes them experts in union negotiations.
If anything, the opposite is true. Here’s why:🧵
As our Negotiating Committee continues to fight for a fair deal, SAG-AFTRA members want them and the CEOs to know that we have our leaders’ backs, and no one will break our solidarity.
One day longer. One day stronger. As long as it takes. #SagAftraStrong

Before talks had broken off, sources say, the four CEOs who attended SAG-AFTRAS negotiations had been taken aback by Drescher's negotiating style, which involved bringing a doll (a heart-shaped plush toy with a smiley face given to Drescher by an 11-year-old fan) and saying Buddhist inspirational quotes. She also alarmed the CEOs when she proclaimed, "I don't care if we are here for a year" in order to achieve the unions ends, sources maintain, which a union source denies. A source close to the union explains that Drescher uses a "less contentious" bargaining process and tries to bring the tone down in the room on occasion.
Drescher opened the first Zoom meeting with the A-listers by asking to take a screenshot, or selfie of sorts, according to two sources familiar with the session. The source close to the union maintains that Drescher wanted to take a screenshot in order to preserve the historic moment in the life of the union; SAG-AFTRA collects the history of its union as part of its general operations. Perry politely declined, expressing that he would prefer to get down to business.
These stories in the trades have some SAG-AFTRA members concerned.
First, these are likely a kernel of truth under a steaming pile of studio spin.
But let’s cut to the chase. Is Fran Drescher eccentric? Hell yes.
And there’s enormous power in that.🧵
Since the CEOs walked away from negotiations with SAG-AFTRA on Oct. 11, the AMPTP and Molly Levinson’s unionbusting crisis PR firm have been spinning out nothing but propaganda and outright lies.
With negotiations resuming tomorrow, it’s time to set the record straight.🧵
Update from #SAGAFTRA: AMPTP refuses to counter and walks away from the table again. The strike continues.
