 I dunno if this was made before or after The Studio aired, but I love it either way.

Escobarbarian posted:Yeah I really enjoyed the first episode of The Studio but then again that kind of inside baseball thing is like catnip for me when done well. The constant oners are a little distracting but it does give the show a more unique visual style than the sitcom framing you’d expect and I enjoy watching the cast bounce around the shots. oh well don't care about the show that much anyway

I liked this season of Mythic Quest better than 2 (or maybe 3, I forget which was the bad one) but I'm disappointed that there wasn't the usual disconnected but also amazing episode this season. It was supposed to be Pootie Shoe's episode but I really don't think that character was ever interesting enough to carry what they tried to have it carry.

The Studio continues to be extremely my poo poo, I lost it at the last sequence, copying the thing from the movie again. I like dumb poo poo like that and Rogen lashing out was great and I look forward to whatever gimmick/cameo of the week they’ll do. Dope Thief otoh is kinda getting stale, still good enough but they seem to be bumbling along what could’ve been a movie. Still watchable at least.

Binged through season 1 of Big Door Prize the past few days. Really endeared by its downbeat vibes and character work. I already know that there's a cliffhanger ending to season 2, but I think I'm gonna keep going forward on it? I think the mystery of the card machine is some of the show's weakest stuff. Meanwhile, characters making bad life decisions and then sitting in a room talking about those decisions has always just been aces to watch unfold. One of my favorite bits is the growing sense of generation divide you get out of the town being told their "full potentials." The adults all go off with their mid-life crisis and relationship histories and the paths not taken. The kids all get bogged down with this sense of inevitability and the threat of destiny imparting what they might really want: to be comfortable. Its just a really juicy, well-considered way to fill out your world.

Kind of unpredictable. It's funny all I can think about as I watch Seth Rogen carry a leading role is how much his voice sounds like Pumbaa nowadays it's like he just let that identity eat him lol

Seth is speaking with a much higher voice in this show, so I don't know where it would come from.

It feels somewhat fitting that a show that relies heavily on big teases that ultimately amount to nothing has a cliffhanger ending. The show has a bittersweet tone that reminds me of Lodge 49, but just not as good. The most positive thing I can say about season two is that the character I hated the most in the first season becomes the best character on the show.

The Studio is like tailor-made for me. I liked the first episode, but the second was absolute bonkers in the best way possible. So good that I'm not sure if they can top it. Which isn't really a bad thing. Will watch the rest of the season for sure.

It's incredibly specific but even without knowing who Bob Evans is or the details on Amy Pascal's exit from Sony it's fun to watch with plenty of cameos by stars everyone knows. At the end of the last episode I really thought the call from Ron Howard was an AI fake as Matt getting huge win the moment he gets angry seems not in line with the rest but maybe it will come back.

TBH it has seemed to be purely style the entire time and I really don't mind that. I don't expect like... Severance levels of depth out of The Studio so I'll just enjoy it for what it is, a cinematographer's dream. Plus I think if I did have to get into the show to the point where I'm empathizing with Matt, I'd cringe too hard to enjoy it. He's very much that kind of character.

The thru-line of all three episodes so far sems to be "everyone grinning and bearing it while you try to suck up to the person you have to suck up to in order to not rock the very precarious boat that is The Studio", and that leads to 44 consecutive minutes of very high-strung tension with zero actual stakes that any normal person should care about. It's a pretty good bit but I wonder how long they can sustain it, it does get pretty exhausting when a lot of people's real lives are that exact same kind of nervous tension only for them it's real

If you did the free launch period you are barred from any future free offers from upgrades but sometimes you will get some free month offers via Apple newsletters.

New 'The Studio' episode was consistently funny. Whatever rig they have for attaching and detaching the camera to Matt's old car is cool and the more shots like that, the more I'll love the show.

That was a really great episode and I love that they are taking the various styles for the movies and putting that into the episode. The noir detective bit was great. Though I don't get why the thief wasn't blacklisted from Hollywood. Even if directors have a lot of control over film stuff, there's no fuckin way I would let that slide. I'd have her finish the movie, release it, and then make sure everyone knows how she almost killed the movie and apparently the concept of shooting on film entirely. The studio head had to sell his car in order to reshoot the lost reel.

The Studio is insanely good. Like, it has no reason to be this good. Gorgeous, funny, smart, sleek. And punchy — episode 2 was just 25 minutes. Who the hell is making sitcom-length TV anymore?

Oh Jesus I was cackling through the final bit, absolutely expected it to be a surprise party but they just kept going, so much great stuff and I’m absolutely in love with how they incorporated the voiceovers and how they did the line. It’s 100% based on punch lines so far but I loving love this series. Also the quality is really good, like they put a lot of effort in it or does it just look like it?

Hoping to see a lot more of Hahn. also Ike Barinholtz ((yeah i had to look that up)Seths besty) consistently makes me laugh in everything he’s in.
