It's quite tricky to make comedies about film making and the conflict between money and art - there have been more failures than hits. But this starts out quite well, with Seth Rogan being hired as the new studio head by Bryan Cranston and briefed to make a film about Cool Aid Man when what he really wants to do is work with Scorsese (who he manages to completely alienate in a funny scene). It turns out he really is not producer material.
With Catherine O'Hara (former producer), Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, Kathryn Hahn.
Has that 'single take' technique, not sure if that adds anything, but Antonio Sanchez drumming, which definitely does. Second episode is actually called 'the Oner' and is one; documents Rogan repeatedly interrupting a single take shot, which we found intensely irritating! Then he chickens out of telling Ron Howard the last section of his new movie stinks.
10 multi-length episodes for Apple. Somewhat ironically, it took five people to 'create' this concept: Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez.
