Seth Rogen's Toothless Hollywood Satire
Briefly

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's series The Studio is a satirical homage to Robert Altman's The Player, exploring the corporate side of Hollywood. The series features an obnoxious CEO named Griffin Mill, played by Bryan Cranston, who prioritizes profit over artistic integrity. This character starkly contrasts with Tim Robbins' more pretentious depiction of a studio executive in The Player. Rogen's character, Matt Remick, navigates the industry's challenges, balancing art against studio pressures and public expectations, encapsulating the modern entertainment landscape's absurdities.
"At a glitzy charity gala, Mill gives a self-aggrandizing speech arguing that film studios have 'a responsibility to the public to maintain the art of motion pictures as [their] primary mandate.'"},{
