Welcome to Episode 43 of the Actor's Guide to the End of the World!

Marvel drops the bomb it’s no longer doing business in Georgia and hopping over the pond to the UK. Has this been happening for years? E-Kan and Rían will get into that and discuss why they think UK has been bustling with film production. They also get into the nitty gritty, break down the differences between what an actor makes in SAG-Aftra in the US vs in the UK, and why E-Kan thinks the race to the bottom isn't sustainable.

On a bit of a lighter note, E-Kan also brings up a revealing article that might spell good news for LA and the Hollywood industry.

Stay to the end and you'll hear, did E-Kan really have an extra tooth?
