Welcome to The List,
Are you more interested in seeing a movie if there’s a certain actor or eye candy in the cast? Well, of course you are.

As you’ve probably heard, Hollywood writers are ON STRIKE. The Writers Guild of America voted to strike after they couldn’t make a deal by Tuesday morning at midnight. The big issue is compensation from streaming. The late-night talk shows are all re-runs and If you’re a Pete Davidson fan, first of all . . . what is wrong with you? Secondly, his return to “Saturday Night Live” this coming weekend is OFF. THAT is what we call a silver lining.
