THE STUDIO

Creators: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg
Starring: Seth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Scorsese

It’s always refreshing when Hollywood is able to poke fun at itself. It’s even better when it’s a scathing take down thanks to Seth Rogen and co-creator Evan Goldberg. Image a big Hollywood studio run by Seth Rogen. Rogen isn’t playing too far away from his usual stick as Matt Remick who finds himself the new executive of Continental Studios after former exec Patty Leigh is let go. Catherine O’Hara pops up as Patty who finds herself trying to stay relevant and rich in a new stage of her career after getting the axe. Matt would love to make serious, art house, auteur driven movies while others at the studio want big-budget, IP movies to make money. He gets in way over his head desperately trying to appease big names like Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard while making promises to his bosses. Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn play members of Matt’s team who are trying to find their own way in Hollywood despite all the pressures thrown at them. Now streaming on AppleTV+
