This article contains spoilers For the "Studio" Episode 7, casting ".

I try to avoid hyperbolic warm, but the more time it takes, the more I think Seth Rogen is really one of the brightest comedians they have ever done. He broke into the mainstream in the 2000s thanks to projects such as "Superbad" and "knocked out" (I love both films, for the record), but as the alum "Fries and Gex" grew, his comedy evolved to an unmatched level. He currently executive producer and starsevils Francesca Delbanco & Nicholas Stoller's Apple TV+ Series "Platonic", What can be the smartest show for disaster millennia that have failed to accept the realities of their social roles as adults.

Each episode deals with part of the film making process, but instead of completely biting the hand that feeds, it balances its knowledge of comedy in the workplace with despair of Remik as a legitimate kinefil to make the best movies possible in the system intended against it.

In the world of "Studio", the pre-production of "Cole-help" is ongoing. Nicholas Stoller applied for directing, two young writers made a script that the studio loves, and they got an ice cube signed to express the Kol-Aid man. Remik and his colleagues, Executive Solpervestin (Best Career Ike Barinholz) and Maja Mason's Marketing Head (Genius Catherine Jan), stand in front of their casting board and panic ... Is it racist for the man to help a black actor? The rest of the episode is an exercise for curvature of white fragility because they are desperately trying to find a casting combination as much as possible and varied without seemingly How to rely on racist tropes on social media.

It is argued whether they can make white characters lesbians "compensate" their whiteness and give them an adopted Asian child to add more diversity, but they eventually decide that the best course of action is to "black panther" and have the entire cast.

Stoller agrees to process him alone, but notes that to save some time and money on the movie budget to do so ... He will use the help of AI animation to complete it. This is where the show satire develops from good to Great.

Remik eventually asks the ice cube directly whether it is racist for him to express the Kol-aid man, and he rightly puts Matt in his place.
