In an era where decisions are made by the top brass of most of the largest Hollywood systems are simultaneously predictable and SurprisinglyThe Studio feels like a perfect balm to make us laugh through it.

In the first episode, the CEO of Matt Remik (Seth Rogen) is gifted with the promotion of a lifetime as the latest head of the continental study. He is a movie Nord who has the confidence that he can have mutual success with the phenomena of box office and film work driven by artists. Matt's hope is put to the test, however, when Continental CEO Griffin Mill (Brian Cranston) represents his first task: The green light film "Kool-Aid".

If Greta Gervig's "Barbie" can get a nomination for the best picture and Become a $ 1.4 billion sensationThen it is certainly a feature of the fruit mascot that falls through the Wallsids.

It is a great set -up that Matt Spiral sends to panic mode right away from the bat, but it becomes even the funniest with the arrival of Martin Scorsese, which is being played. The film legend deals with a million dollars EP for Jonohstown Massacre with Steve Buskemi designed as leader of the cult Jimim Onesons. Only the image is hysterical. But this risky venture suddenly becomes a lifetime. Matt is impulsively offering him a $ 250m budget and an additional $ 10 million on the rights of the script on one condition: the film should be titled "Kool-Aid".

The Studio did not let Matt easily turn off the hook, because that terrain comes with its own complication. It culminates in the new-inductive head of the studio, which refers to pressure and make the movie "Kool-Aid" as a commercially sustainable project instead, Scorsese's Railway Script in the process.

While rightly confirmed as one of our biggest directors, Scorsese did not want to antagonize some internet and industry as a whole for his comments on superhero films. The gluted flame is reinforced only by the announcement of his challenged op-ed in Yorkyor Times Back in 2019, where he clarified his comments with a very rational and careful response to the state of the film industry. He was always right and one of the biggest champions of the media. It reflects our current state where little talents in the industry speak on behalf of an inflated budget scheme and Zombified franchise IP It's not just sustainable. Scorsese threw a softball as far as me.

Going six years later, not only did the landscape further confirm his worries, but the "studio" serves as a funny accompanying piece.

The whole set of fraud for one of the greatest directors of all time in making a movie "Kool-Aid", and then killing his latest project when he did not deal with corporate interests, it would be funny if it didn't sound like a potential article. Chief Executive Officer Inspired by Cranston, David Zaglav, notes that they cannot make a Kool-Aid blockbuster, while at the same time creating a massive suicide film where Kool-Aid resulted in the death of hundreds. (It is probably worth noting here because of the offspring, that Kool-Aid's taste assistance was actually used in the Jonohstown massacre, no Kool-Aid.)

The "studio" is brilliantly military in the fight between Matt's creative intent and to support the bottom line. He uses the success of "Once, in Hollywood" by Quentin Tarantino " As a barometer of a fun film for a historical tragedy that won prizes and earned money. But Matt eventually overlaps and makes Scorsese cry in the process. Not cool, matt.

It talks about Scorsese's uncomfortable "gradual but stable risk elimination" that infiltrated decisions in the studio. The only way he will make his fictional song on the swan is to connect it to the brand name, and even that is not enough. As absurd as it sounds, there is a precedent for the film "Kool-Aid" Given the head of the film Metel Robbie Brenner is currently developing a cinema universe based on many company products. I will also be sorry not to mention their The upcoming film "Barney" written by the award -winning Emmy, Ayo Edebiri, and produced by the Academy Academy Academy Academy.

What seems that many slanderers do not understand is that Scorsese is not mistaken. He is well aware that the studio has always been chased by monetary success, but the problem lies in the MET Health Distribution Eco-system predicts, but cannot be cultivated. "We don't make movies, we make movies“Cocktails for continental eccentric CEO.

Scorsese is really a great sport about his guest performance at the Studio because he is also able to roll with the shots and have fun in himself. The most significant joke at his expense is the campaign model to get His $ 200 million plus passion projects like the Irishman and "Flower Moon Killers" abroad.

The Studio also serves as a reminder that Scorsese can be a great actor. He owns such a loved one and attractive person who makes him a great figure for watching. There is a wonderful moment in this episode where Scorsese sees it through Matt's deviation when trying to change the topic of the status of Jonohstown. "It's not surprising because you are just running out of a mill, impersonal, talent, wireless suit," says Filmmang Titan In response. It's kind of climbing that will make me want to crawl in a hole and die.

Having Scorsese as Matt's first mistake is the perfect way to show how his trajectory will only become even funny complicated during the series. The last few minutes of the episode show that it is still a Cinophil that can take verbal shaking from one of the heart masters and decide to watch Goodfellas at the end of it. Whether Matt will actually meet his aspirations to a better future for the film industry remains to be seen.

The first two episodes of the Studio are currently moving to AppleTV+.
