Yeah, this is the kind of fuck-up I could do in my sleep while also tied up and blindfolded: casually do the ONE THING YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE DONE before asking somebody if you should've done it or not.
I'm still kind of confused about what exactly he got in trouble for. As far as I can tell he went to contact John Goodman's agent and nearly had his entries career destroyed
He didn't do something that a union says you have to do exactly how they say it should be done. From things I've heard about movie industry unions, they can be like the worst HOAs on steroids. Maybe they started out good back in the old days because of how big movie studios like MGM used to screw over people. But they have their own power drunk elements that seem to have formed over the years.
He tried to do the right thing and get his ducks in a row and wound up exposing a gap in the system that his project depended on to get done. Revealing the gap created a turf war and the blame fell on him for causing it all.
Oh goodness no this has not happened to me 😳but good to keep in mind for future reference. But this seems a little harsh for someone making a mistake 🤔
Each IATSE chapter has their own version of "over the line"... that's my big critique. You can get blacklisted for any number of harmless things, that the chapter takes offense to. It comes from the generational families controlling the chapter. If they don't like you, well, you might have to go do something else. Oh well 😅
@@georgepierson4920 From what I understood, it looks like he stepped on a corporate landmine by unknowingly trying to hire a voice actor protected by SAG (a union for people in the TV and radio industry) while the network Rory was working for was not aligned with SAG. Basically, the mistake only exists because of greedy corpos.
Great lesson, and also nice to hear John Goodman is a good guy....I always suspected that 😊
Listened for 9:33 minutes and was still confused. What is the mistake??

good interviews

He confronted the mafia while slightly breaking protocol and the mafia forgave him.
This crap needs to change. What a joke.

We started our production company with my writing partner, so this is extremely helpful! Thank you so much for sharing such insights!
So what was his mistake?

You don't tell us what the mistake was. How is this helpful?
The mistake is the Macguffin. It appears that it could have been almost anything. The takeaway is how it was handled
You would cry too if it* happened to you….
* will forever be a mystery
Let me guess: He’s selling a book? Then we get all of the details?

F entertainment unions.
If this happened to you, what would you do?
You never said what you did wrong.
I missed it also? @@georgepierson4920

If what happened?
Be humble, genuinely apologetic and have the cash to make it right
😂❤
This centralized nonsense needs to stop.
Go to the mat with SAG.
His career should have been destroyed. Narrators aren't actors? He knew nothing of how to negotiate with SAG? Typical producer bullshit.
