In Top Nerd News the big story is the Writer's Guild of America has gone on strike. The effect is almost immediate when it comes to Late Night Talk shows, but it will be a slow burn on Cable and Streaming Platforms.

Finally, how much money are we really talking about at the end of the day? Skungy's Pick of the Week is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
