SAG Health Plan Lawsuit, and Is the Golden Globes the Sketchiest Award Show? | Ep 8

Episode 8 of the Actor's Guide to the End of the World and award season is underway! Golden globe nominations were announced and the guys discuss the notable films this year as well as the show's spotty history and rebuild. They tackle the questions: Are the Golden Globes the sketchiest awards show? Are awards shows relevant anymore? Then they talk about what got them into acting in the first place, their deeper motivations, and the irony that they became performers despite their shy childhoods. They also get to the recent SAG Health Plan data breach and class action lawsuit and why actors need to be careful taking selfies on set. Rían talks about the greatest moment of his career and the ritual he does everytime he books a job while E-Kan talks about the time he made a spectacle in high school… and paid for it. They also dive into the importance of mindset and the key to affirmations and what happens when you dream big.
