Yeah, um, I think that when Bob Iger
talks about, uh, what a shame it is, he needs to, uh, remember that in 1980, um,
CEOs like him made 30 times what the worker, what their lowest worker was making.
Now, Bob Iger makes 400 times what his lowest worker is. Have you ever wondered what
goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood? Well, hold on tight because today we're talking about
the SAG-AFTRA actor, Sean Gunn, and his recent revelation about Netflix and Disney producers.
They have shocked the
whole Hollywood industry. Alright, Sean Gunn, best known for his roles
in blockbuster movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and Gilmore Girls, recently dropped a
bombshell on social media that left everyone gasping. He went public, fearless and
unapologetic, exposing top-level producers at Netflix and Disney for their unethical
practices. But here's the jaw-dropping twist: Sean claims he hasn't received a single
penny since speaking out. Can you believe it? So here's what went down: recently
, Sean Gunn
went live on Instagram and spilled some tea about the behind-the-scenes actions of these
influential studios. He revealed some alleged shady practices that left him fearing for
his life. Talk about a plot twist, right? There's another video circulating, and
this time it's Sean calling out the CEOs of Netflix. Sean said, "I was on a television
show called Gilmore Girls for a long time that has brought in massive profits for Netflix. It
has been one of their most popular shows fo
r a very long time, over a decade. It gets
streamed over and over and over again, and I see almost none of the
revenue that comes into that." He's raising an important point about the
streaming residuals for shows like Gilmore Girls. You see, while Netflix executives are
making huge profits from streaming the show, actors like Sean receive little to
no residuals. It's a situation that's causing quite a stir in the industry.
Fans were quick to react, spreading the news like wildfire. #Justi
ceforSean
even trended on Twitter worldwide, with celebrities and fans alike demanding
answers and rallying behind the beloved star. But wait, let's dive deeper into the drama that
unfolded in his Instagram live. Sean Gunn shared how he stumbled upon some disturbing information
related to the exploitation of actors in the industry. He claimed that there were numerous
instances where actors weren't being paid their fair share, and the bigwigs behind the scenes
were pocketing massive profits
. Gunn didn't shy away from naming names either, dropping some
major bombshells about specific Netflix and Disney producers like Ted Sarandos and Executive
Chair Reed Hastings. He alleged that some of these individuals were involved in fraudulent
practices, leaving their actors high and dry. And the consequences of his brave actions?
Well, they've been absolutely unimaginable. Ever since Sean went public, he claims to have
faced numerous threats and attempts to silence him. It's like straig
ht out of a Hollywood
thriller movie, only this time it's real life. But why would Netflix and Disney go
to such extreme lengths to hide the truth? Some believe it's all about money and
power. With billions of dollars at stake, it's clear that these producers will stop
at nothing to protect their reputation and profits. But remember, folks, the truth always
has a way of finding its way to the surface. It's not just Sean Gunn who's fed
up with the industry's dark secrets. Several other prom
inent celebrities have
also started speaking out against these unethical practices. The era of silence
seems to be finally coming to an end, my friends. The artists, comprising
approximately 160,000 actors and performers, have officially voted to go on strike. This
is a historic moment, my friends, as it marks the first joint strike between the actors and
writers guilds in 63 years. Can you believe it? Now, let's rewind a bit. For the past 70 days
and counting, the writers have been out on
the picket lines protesting for their rights.
But now, the actors are joining forces, creating one of the biggest strikes in
Hollywood history. It's a united front against the studios represented by the Alliance of
Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which includes big players like Netflix,
Amazon, Apple, Disney, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and more. These artists are taking
a stand together, demanding fair treatment. So, what are the artists protesting exactly?
Well, it all
boils down to exploitative business practices stemming from the streaming economy.
They are fighting for their rights in the face of declining residual payments, which actors
receive whenever their projects are syndicated, aired elsewhere, or reused by different
entertainment networks. The same issue has been raised by the writers as well. This strike
isn't just about money; it's about fairness and standing up against corporate greed. The
artists are making a statement, demanding better tre
atment and recognition for their invaluable
contributions to the entertainment industry. It's no secret that streaming platforms like
Netflix and entertainment giants like Disney have become massively influential in the industry.
But with power comes responsibility, right? Well, it seems that Sean's fearless act of speaking
out against these industry giants has come at a high price. Let's break down the numbers
for a moment. Imagine the show brings in a whopping 100 million dollars for Netf
lix.
If the producers are getting a generous 10 million dollars, that leaves Netflix with
90 million dollars. Now consider this: if there are about 300 people in the cast and crew
combined, dividing the remaining amount equally, each person would receive roughly thirty-three
thousand dollars. That's around the poverty line, and it doesn't quite do justice to the hard work
and talent these individuals bring to the table. But let's think about another scenario. If
Netflix were to keep only 5
0 million dollars, redistributing the other 50 million dollars
among those 300 individuals, each person would receive approximately 166 thousand dollars.
Now, that's a much more livable figure, especially in a place like LA. Of course,
these calculations are rough estimates, but the underlying idea holds true. Many of us are
supportive of the concept of big corporations like Netflix keeping less of the profits and ensuring
that more money goes directly to the people who contribute to the su
ccess of these shows. And
you know what? When people have more money in their pockets, they're likely to invest it back
into the economy through consumer spending, and that's good for everyone. Like Sean said,
"You really need to rethink how you do business and share the wealth with people; otherwise,
this is all going to come crashing down." The internet exploded with support for Sean Gunn, with fans creating online petitions
demanding an investigation into these alleged fraudulent practic
es. It seems like
everyone is standing united behind him, hoping for justice to prevail and for these
greedy producers to be held accountable. Now, the big question on everyone's mind: What's next for Sean Gunn? Well, despite facing
immense challenges and fearing for his life, Gunn has shown incredible resilience
and determination. He's ready to take on whatever comes his way in his pursuit of
justice. As the investigation progresses, we can only hope that Sean Gunn's bravery pays
off. Reg
ardless of the outcome, he has already made a lasting impact on the industry, shedding
light on the dark side of fame and fortune. That's all for today's episode, folks. Now,

Gunn? Let's keep the conversation going down in the comments below. If you enjoyed
