In July’s episode we were lucky enough to have a chat with the multi-talented actor Marabina Jaimes. We dove into topics ranging from the ongoing SAG-AFTRA Actors’ Strike, which focuses on film and television contracts, and how the Writers Guild and other unions are supporting these actors. Dubbing and commercials are still allowed despite the strike. Marabina has won awards for her work in multiple fields. We also discussed Bob Odenkirk’s movie “Life Upside Down”.
