Hollywood in 2009: entertainment at a crucial crossroads
Will independent film studios breathe their final breath, only to be saved by culture vultures downloading lesser known films online? Will this be the year SAG members strike, only to watch their prime time acting roles make way for less scripted television programming? It's a pivotal year in the world of Hollywood and Sharon Waxman joins John and Adaora to discuss the future of "the business". "These are really big changes that are just the beginning of the kinds of transformational changes we're going to see." –Sharon Waxman on the entertainment industry
