What Went Wrong?
Weve been here for six weeks talking to them and those core proposals were literally ignored.
And it just fell on deaf ears.

And they just didnt seem to listen.
They would not talk about them.
See the WGAs proposals and the AMPTPs offershere.
So, when they say theyre willing to talk, theyre being disingenuous.
They said, Yeah.
They literally said that, Goodman said.
If you drop all these proposals, then we can talk about the rest.
And were not gonna do that.
Were here to negotiate a deal.
We made a bunch of opening proposals that the companies would not, under any circumstances, consider.
They literally told us we had to drop them all.
Thats not a negotiation.
We cant let that happen.
They wont talk about any of those things.
They wont talk about writers who work into production, because writing happens all the way through the process.
They are entirely closed off about that.
And we told them from the very beginning that thats not gonna happen in this negotiation.
