Pick of the Day
The Studio, Apple TV+
This promises to be a super-cringey comedy series. Some good-old Tinseltown navel-gazing.
The cast is certainly impressive as it includes Seth Rogan (who is also a co-creator), Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn.
There are also cameos from the likes of Martin Scorsese, Steve Buscemi and Charlize Theron.
Rogan heads the cast as Matt Remick, the movie nerd who has climbed the ladder to become the newly appointed head of movie company Continental Studios.
Eager to make great movies, he attempts to save the floundering business in an industry undergoing rapid social and economic changes.

It's a huge experiment, with an 18-month schedule.
