When you’re filming a movie or a television show, when it’s the last shot of the day, the first assistant director will call out, “This is the Martini Shot!” I call these stories “Martini Shots” because they’re exactly the kinds of stories we tell — and lessons we learn — after we’ve wrapped for the day. - Rob Long

As the business braces for a potentially bruising writers’ strike, Rob Long tries to remember that in show business, everybody ends up working for — and with, and next to — each other. It’s an org chart that makes no sense, except it’s the only one that works.

This was a fascinating and edifying episode. Thank you, Rob.
Rob Long, I listened to this a couple of times. It was very insightful.
It seems to me that some good will, personal responsibility, burying the hatchet and a dose of leadership is called for. I hope it works out. Because Entertainment is important. It just got society through a Pandemic. Good luck to you all.
