Episode 117: What is going on with Voice Acting Contracts?

We're a week out from the Powercast, and we've got a slightly more serious topic this week. But first some news! There are a few more new titles yet which we'll cover on the Powercast as well as dates for new Jojo's, Arknights, and Blue Orchestra so plenty to look forward to. The meat of this episode is devoted to voice actors, union representation, and what the work of creative professionals is worth. Between the drama with Bayonetta 3 as well as Crunchyroll refusing union contract for a voice actor on Mob Psycho there is a lot of attention being paid this week to voice actor contracts and how the industry works. We're not experts by any stretch, but we're taking the time to talk through what unions provide for voice actors and creators in general, the reality of contract negotiation, and just how people are treated in the entertainment industry.  There's a lot to unpack, so let's get into it.   Power Rankings live @tjapod on instagram
