The episode where the team panic about casting and second guess there choices for a few days before landing on the same cast they started with feels very very real.

Story aside, the camera work in this show was outstanding. Handheld to always insinuate anxiety, long floating shots merging seamlessly with it, I loved it.

Ep 2 'The Oner' invokes pure anxiety with rage. 😅

A lot of big blockbuster films have budgets that are way to big to make back a profit. Not every blockbuster can be expected to make a billion dollars. People are also working too much and still don’t have a lot of money to spend at the movies. And yes, streaming has definitely oversaturated the market. Streaming original series are often great. But the movies include a lot of slop. But there’s also some responsibility on the audiences to try to seek out better quality movies and not just see stuff that they have a vague familiarity with.

A24 and Neon have some great tales... and others I cant remember, but that's better than Fast and Furious 55 ! 😂

The Studio proves that Hollywood's infatuation with itself will out last every other change and challenge the business faces.

I just loved how honest the show was and how each celeb they got understood what this was as they nailed it to a perfection.

The irony is that, it's all about the movie making process & studio executive interference, all these related to theatres only, but actually we are watching on Apple TV.
