Play scabby games...

scabs gonna scab

4speech.bsky.social•556 days ago

WTAF...Drew should've left with ET.

stevenmccall.bsky.social•556 days ago

Such bullshit saying it was security concerns. Shame on Drew Barrymore continuing the show without the writers.

aviendha69.bsky.social•556 days ago

Who's pulling the strings on this show.

darksidestraxus.bsky.social•555 days ago

Yet another reason why modern day talk shows are trash.

vpofthefam.bsky.social•555 days ago

Can’t believe Drew is doing this 🤦‍♂️

mlamb.bsky.social•555 days ago

Drew has lost her damn mind.

bbqdotgov.bsky.social•555 days ago

Guaranteed Drew has never heard of the Streisand Effect

sarcasticbarbie.bsky.social•556 days ago

That’s in such bad taste. You kick out people just reminding you of what you’re doing? Can’t say you’re doing it in good faith to prove we need writers when you don’t want reminded they exist

devin-eleven.bsky.social•555 days ago

Actions speak louder than words, and her actions are saying bad things.

bradykochbooks.bsky.social•555 days ago

I was going to post a picture of E.T. laying in the river with a pithy statement about how he's taking this news, but it was still too traumatic to look at.

bradykochbooks.bsky.social•555 days ago

And to be clear, E.T. has a no scabs policy

missdiedra.bsky.social•555 days ago

nepo babies being scabs stays undefeated

markblei.bsky.social•555 days ago

I would never ever ever ever cross a picket line ever ever and I didn't grow up in a union house, my dad was an executive. Even to see the best show in the world. It's one of my few absolute 100% things

shambolika.bsky.social•556 days ago

So sad that Drew is a fucking scab

nohomers.bsky.social•555 days ago

Not just sad, but honestly weird. I viewed her differently previous to this.

markblei.bsky.social•555 days ago

I know they have a payroll to meet but this is one of those things that you have to plan for. if there's an SAG strike there's gotta be something in place or Drew has to donate her own money so that you can't use that as a reason to break a strike.

rebelwheelsnyc.bsky.social•555 days ago

yeah that part was disapointing. granted I don't know her lol but in my mind, I thought she'd be pro-strike

tlsmith63.bsky.social•555 days ago

Actually I don’t know if talk shows are part of the strike. It depends on what union they are in. But if they are supposed to be on strike, then Drew needs to have a talk with the press, because she does look like a scab if her show is supposed to be striking!

robotofdawn.bsky.social•555 days ago

The writers for the Drew Barrymore show are covered by the WGA. Go down to the 5th or 6th paragraph:

tlsmith63.bsky.social•555 days ago

I have read about it more now, so I am in agreement that Drew is in the wrong here!

dmjazzyhands.bsky.social•555 days ago

She is a scab. The contract her show is under for SAG-AFTRA is not currently struck, but the one her WGA writers use is. If any writing goes on for that show (which obviously it does), it’s a violation of the strike and she is a scab.

tlsmith63.bsky.social•555 days ago

Okay, I read about it a bit more & she does not look good. Her writers are on strike & yet she is keeping her show going? Not good!

shambolika.bsky.social•555 days ago

I guess it'll be interesting to see if she can come up with good questions, lines, and dialogue, without writers

dmjazzyhands.bsky.social•555 days ago

I’ve got no interest in finding that out. The show shouldn’t be in production.
