EP 286: The Studio on Apple TV

The Analysis: A Movie and TV Podcast

This week on The Analysis, Bob Pantalone welcomes back film fanatic and pop culture critic Brittney Brown for a deep dive into Apple TV’s breakout hit The Studio—a smart, satirical rollercoaster produced by and starring Seth Rogen. From Martin Scorsese directing a Kool-Aid Man movie to Bryan Cranston mangling lobster at a blackjack table, The Studio hilariously pulls back the curtain on the chaotic, ego-filled, and often absurd world of modern moviemaking. Brittney and Bob unpack their favorite episodes, dig into how real-life industry pressures show up in the storytelling, and reflect on Rogen’s evolution as a creator who’s not afraid to make himself the punchline. 🎬 Expect: Hot takes on standout episodes like the Golden Globes debacle and the Olivia Wilde noir parody Why Catherine O’Hara is having a “Betty White” moment (and why we want more) Insight into streaming strategy, Apple TV+'s quiet rise, and what this show says about the future of Hollywood If you're a fan of Barry, Birdman, Entourage, or just love sharp writing and great ensemble casts—this episode’s for you. 👉 Tune in now, and don't forget to hit subscribe. 🎧 Available wherever you get your podcasts. #TheStudio #AppleTV #SethRogen #FilmIndustrySatire #PodcastRecs
