The Blackening – Peacock

A Juneteenth weekend getaway turns into a hilarious but intense bid for survival when a masked killer crashes the party. Directed by Tim Story and co-written by Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins,...

It’s about to be another “One of Them Days,” as a sequel to the hit comedy starring Keke Palmer and Sza and produced by Issa Rae is in early development at TriStar Pictures.

Palmer and Sza are expected to return for the new movie, along with the film’s original creative team, but plot details are still being kept under wraps.

Directed by Lawrence Lamont in his feature debut and from a script written by Syreeta Singleton, “One of Them Days” was a breakout hit at the box office, grossing over $50 million worldwide after its January release — a particularly strong number for an R-rated mid-budget comedy. The critically acclaimed movie (with a stellar 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) was also a standout on Netflix, where it spent three weeks on the streamer’s top 10 list.

The film follows best friends and roommates Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (Sza) as they race...

The first season of Apple TV+ hit comedy The Studio was full of cameos, all happy to set up themselves and the business of filmmaking. The likes of Martin Scorsese, Olivia Wilde, and Ron Howard all starred in the first season of the Seth Rogen comedy. With the streamer already announcing the second season, the writers and actors are already putting in requests for the next batch of cameo stars.

The writer/actor is desperate for Daniel Day-Lewis to appear in the second series of The Studio. “He’s the greatest living actor,” Rogen told Variety at Apple TV+’s FYC event in Hollywood. “His process is so specific that I think that would be an interesting thing to explore on the show.”

Catherine O'Hara, Zoe Kravitz, and Ike Barinholtz in "The Studio," now streaming on Apple TV+.

The Superbad actor hasn’t reached out to the three-time Oscar winner.

Seth Rogen's hit series The Studio lampoons Hollywood with the help of many big-name guest stars brought in to play themselves. The series will be back for a second season, likely with many new exciting guests, but Rogen may have some trouble getting the one he wants most of all.

Per Variety, Rogen said how he's really hoping to get semi-retired actor Daniel Day-Lewis on The Studio. This is in part because Day-Lewis is the "greatest living actor" in the eyes of Rogen, though he's certainly not alone with that opinion. It may be a long shot to get Day-Lewis involved, as the Oscar-winning actor has largely stepped back from performing in recent years, but Rogen feels that he may be influenced to come on board if he hears the pitch they have in mind.

“He’s the greatest living actor,” Rogen said at Apple TV+'s FYC event in Hollywood.

After Season 1’s critical success, Seth Rogen is eyeing an even bigger second season for The Studio. The Apple TV+ satirical comedy series shocked fans by featuring several huge cameos in each of its episodes. Now, Rogen seems to elevate the show to the next level, as he is inviting Daniel Day-Lewis to The Studio‘s Season 2.

Daniel Day-Lewis is widely named among the greatest actors of all time, with 3 Oscars under his belt. Although he retired from acting after starring in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread, the legend is now coming out of his retirement for his son’s directorial debut, Anemone, set to release this year.

The Studio is a satirical comedy Apple TV+ show that centers around Seth Rogen’s Matt Remick, a cinephile studio head,...

The star-studded first season of Seth Rogen’s sitcom-as-Hollywood-love-letter The Studio included appearances by Olivia Wilde, Bryan Cranston, Charlize Theron, and Steve Buscemi, among countless others. So it’s no surprise that he knows exactly who he wants for the second season, and he’s aiming big: Daniel Day-Lewis. “He’s the greatest living actor,” Rogen told Variety this week. “His process is so specific that I think that would be an interesting thing to explore on the show.”

But Rogen didn’t stop at simply putting his wish into...

Seth Rogen wants Daniel Day-Lewis to guest star on “The Studio.”

“He’s the greatest living actor,” Rogen told me Wednesday at Apple TV+’s FYC event in Hollywood. “His process is so specific that I think that would be an interesting thing to explore on the show.”

Rogen, who stars in and co-created the series with Evan Goldberg, says he hasn’t reached out to the Oscar winner… yet. “Daniel, please consider a Zoom with us,” he said. “We’ll pitch you a good idea!”

Goldberg thinks James Cameron would “work really well” as a guest star, because the “Avatar” director “is a genius but he’s also known for sometimes getting angry.”

Chase Sui Wonders, who plays the aspiring development executive Quinn Hackett, has already pitched Kristen Stewart to Rogen and Goldberg. “It’s related to identity politics and if Kristen is dealing with a delicate matter, Quinn...

Ever since viewers — especially those working in Hollywood — fell in love with The Studio, the series’ creators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have gotten accustomed to people at cocktail parties leaning in confidentially and asking, hushed, “How did you hear that story about me?”

“The people who it's actually based on don't think it's based on them, and the people who it's not based on want to think it's based on them!” Rogen told Gold Derby at Apple TV+’s FYC celebration at the Hollywood Athletic Club, erupting into his signature chuckle. “It's a funny pattern.”

“When someone thinks it's based on them, it's best to let them,” Goldberg added.

“So many people have been like, ‘I know where you got that idea!’” laughed costar and writer-producer Ike Barinholtz. “Because I don't want to offend anyone. I'm like, ‘Yeah, that's a lot of different ideas...’ But I'm very touched when...

Apple TV+ has revealed its Emmy acting submissions for its breakout comedy series The Studio, including its lengthy list of guest actors.

As expected, the show’s only lead acting submission is star Seth Rogen, who plays the newly hired head of the fictional Continental Studios in the Hollywood satire.

The show’s other main cast members will run in the supporting categories: Ike Barinholtz and Dewayne Perkins in Best Comedy Supporting Actor, and Kathryn Hahn, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Catherine O’Hara, and Chase Sui Wonders in Best Comedy Supporting Actress.

Cocreated by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, as well as Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory (Veep) and Frida Perez, The Studio’s first season tracks Matt’s ups and downs on the job, including having to tell Martin Scorsese (as himself) that his planned movie about Jonestown was being scrapped. Significant Hollywood filmmakers play themselves in the series, including Scorsese, Sarah Polley,...

Apple TV+ ha renovado su divertidísima serie The Studio por una segunda temporada.

The Studio sigue a Matt Remick, el recién nombrado director de Continental Studios. Con el cine tradicional tratando de mantenerse vivo y relevante, Matt y su equipo de altos ejecutivos luchan contra sus propias inseguridades, artistas narcisistas y grandes capos corporativos, siempre con el esquivo objetivo de hacer grandes películas. Llevando trajes para disimular una continua sensación de pánico, cada fiesta, visita al plató, decisión de casting, reunión de marketing y entrega de premios les presenta una oportunidad para el éxito brillante o la catástrofe final. Como alguien que come, sueña y respira cine, éste es el trabajo que Matt ha perseguido toda su vida… y ahora que lo tiene, es probable que lo destruya.

Seth Rogen no solo protagoniza la serie como Remick, sino que también ejerce como co-creador, guionista, director y productor ejecutivo.

Matt Remick might be searching for another tentpole movie after Apple renewed Hollywood insider comedy The Studio for a second season.

The streamer revealed that it is bringing back the series, which was co-created by and stars Seth Rogen, for another run. This comes ahead of its season finale on May 21.

Rogen and his co-creator joked that Evan Goldberg that they were looking forward to “taking the lived experience of making season one and immediately putting it into season two, then repeating that loop for ten more seasons”.

The Studio, which launched on March 26, centers around Remick, played by Rogen, the newly installed boss of Continental Studios, who must deal with their own insecurities and the way that Hollywood works in order to make big tentpole movies and prestige dramas, while keeping their Bob Evans-style boss Griffin Mill, played by Bryan Cranston, and the filmmaking community happy.

This article contains spoilers for "The Studio" episode 7, "Casting."

I try to avoid hyperbolic hot takes, but the more time goes on, the more I'm starting to think that Seth Rogen truly is one of the most brilliant comedians to ever do it. He broke into the mainstream in the 2000s thanks to projects like "Superbad" and "Knocked Up", but as the "Freaks and Geeks" alum has grown, his comedy has evolved to an incomparable level. He currently executive produces and stars on Francesca Delbanco & Nicholas Stoller's Apple TV+ series "Platonic," which very well might be the smartest show about disaster millennials failing to accept the realities of their societal roles as adults. But his true masterpiece is the cringe-comedy Hollywood satire "The Studio" (also on Apple TV+), co-created with frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg along with Alex Gregory, Peter Huyck, and Frida Perez.

Aside from video games, board games also get film and TV adaptations. One of them is Clue (or Cluedo), which was first announced in 2021, then later in 2024 when it was revealed to be an animated series that Sony will release. Unfortunately, this board game project was unable to leave the tabletop setting as it was recently reported that the show was canceled.

Clue's writer Dewayne Perkins revealed in an interview that the show was canceled but didn't give any reason why that was the case. He also didn't shed light on whether anyone else would pick up the project or what was going to happen to the IP. In 2021, it was reported that Fox was developing the Clue TV series, as it partnered with Hasbro and Bento Box Entertainment to make the series. But by 2024, the film and TV rights moved to Sony, thanks to a new deal made by Hasbro,...

An animated Clue TV series that has been in the works for years is no longer happening.

Fox Entertainment announced in 2021 that it was developing an animated series based on Hasbro's murder mystery board game. In partnership with eOne and Bento Box, Fox Entertainment was developing the series. 

A year later, in 2022, writer and actor Dewayne Perkins was attached to write and produce the animated Clue series, and Tim Story came on board as an executive producer.

The Studio star Dewayne Perkins felt his time making fun of the film industry, and in turn, his bosses, "was cathartic and therapeutic."

For those who don't know, The Studio is a fun, chaotic, and fast-paced satire about the film industry that follows Seth Rogen's Matt Remick, head of the fictional Continental Studios, as he navigates the unexpected challenges and ridiculousness in the world of moviemaking.

Perkins, who plays Tyler on the series, spoke to The Direct's Russ Milheim in an interview where he spoke all about his time on the show, pitched his own Kool-aid movie, and more.

Hollywood may be a small world, but it’s actually a pretty large industry, and “The Studio” is getting a lot of famous faces from it to help tell their story.

Now streaming on Apple TV+, the series created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg centers on Matt Remick (Rogen) as he’s suddenly given his dream job of running a movie studio. The studio itself is fictional, as are the movies it creates in the show, but the actors and creators it employs are very real.

With the first two episodes available now, fans have already seen a handful of the famous faces that pop in on the series, including Martin Scorsese and Bryan Cranston.

But brace yourself, because more are coming.

It’s already being called one of the year’s best television episodes, but for The Studio co-creator, director, writer, and star Seth Rogen, its production was the most stressful.

The Apple TV+ comedy series premiered this week with two episodes: its tone-setting pilot episode, “The Promotion,” where Rogen’s Matt Remick is promoted into the top job at fledgling Continental Studios, and “The Oner,” an aptly named episode that unfolds in what appears to be one continuous take as Remick visits the set of Sarah Polley’s movie where she tries to execute a oner herself.

“It was really hard,” Rogen said at an FYC event Friday night at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, on a panel along with his costars, including Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, Chase Sui Wonders, Bryan Cranston, Dewayne Perkins, and Keyla Monterroso Mejia.

If you love stories about movies that take us behind the scenes of what we only know as movie magic, then you might be in luck, as Apple TV+’s latest series, The Studio, is a satirical look at Hollywood culture. Created by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, the satirical dark comedy series is a star-studded, hilarious ride through the streets of Hollywood.

The Studio follows Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of the film production company Continental Studios. Now, it’s upto Matt to save the failing company in a failing industry while also trying to make great movies that will be remembered long after he is gone. He soon finds himself overwhelmed with the daily pressures, which include dealing with eccentric colleagues, finicky artists, and soul-sucking financiers.

The Studio – Episode...

Eddie Diaz has arrived in Texas!

While we didn’t see or hear from Eddie during 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 11, his presence loomed large over the hour, and 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 12 drops us right into Eddie’s Texas life, something we’ve been clamoring to see.

As you’ll see in the clip exclusive to TV Fanatic, Eddie is looking to find a new work home in El Paso while dealing with some home renovations gone wrong.

If you were worried about missing any time with Eddie in Texas, fear not. When we meet back up with him, only a few weeks have passed, and he’s just starting to get settled in.

For him, settling in means looking for a new firefighter job and fixing his new house!

Eddie came to Texas to reunite with Christopher and re-establish himself in his everyday life, but he’ll still need to work.

On the carpet ahead of Variety and Apple TV+’s “The Studio” screening and Q&a, the cast discussed the most memorable notes and pitches they’ve gotten while working in Hollywood.

Director and star Seth Rogen said he remembers the pitch for Ridley Scott’s rumored “Monopoly” movie “verbatim” since the meeting was helmed by the “Alien” director himself.

“It was a meeting with Ridley Scott,” Rogen said. “He was going to direct the ‘Monopoly’ movie, and me and Evan [Goldberg] went into his office and he said, ‘Imagine a helicopter shot of Central Park. You’re looking down on it from above. You pull up, you see all the buildings surrounding Central Park. What does it look like?’ And then he said, ‘A Monopoly board!’ And were like, ‘Fuck, that’s good.'”

While the “Monopoly” movie landed for Rogen, there were other pitches that did not resonate nearly as well.

Dewayne Perkins continues to make his mark on Hollywood.

A jack of all trades, Perkins is a comedian, actor, writer, and producer with an impressive and diverse resume that’s only getting longer.

Fresh off the success of The Blackening, one of the freshest and most successful horror-comedy films of the last decade, which Perkins co-wrote and starred in, the rising star is trading in the big screen for an Apple TV+ production filled to the brim with Hollywood royalty.

The new series, headlined by Seth Rogen, is a comedy set in Hollywood at a major studio.

Perkins stars alongside Rogen and many others to bring the story to life, and it’s a highly relevant story, given the forever-changing nature of the business.

Apple is hoping that its latest series will continue the hot streak of quality series it’s been riding.

One of the knocks on Apple TV+ is that it doesn’t have the bulk of content that other streamers do, making it difficult for consumers to justify staying subscribed in between its biggest hits. But here’s the thing, Apple TV+ is really only turning out hits these days. The service has been releasing an unending, steady stream of critical and audience favorites for nearly a year, including “Presumed Innocent,” “Bad Monkey,” “Slow Horses,” “Shrinking,” “Pachinko,” “Silo,” and the recently concluded second season of “Severance,” which kept the internet on pins and needles throughout its entire run.

In The Studio, Rogen stars as Matt Remick, a newly appointed (fictional) head of the embattled Continental Studios who finds himself forever fighting and debating with his fellow creatives and demanding actors over whether art and commerce can coexist in Hollywood.

The Studio, from the brain of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, looks like movie nerd gold. It’s heading to Apple TV+ this month.

This writer is still not quite over HBO’s cancellation of The Franchise, the Himesh Patel-fronted comedy series that examined the absurdities of blockbuster filmmaking and wasn’t given any more chances to find its audience beyond a single season. It was funny, skewered the Marvel Cinematic Universe machine with precision satire and boasted Richard E Grant having the time of his life as a jaded classically-trained actor just taking a big studio paycheque and upsetting as many people as humanly possible.

However, it does look like an heir apparent is in place to take The Franchise’s vacated throne, courtesy of Apple TV. The streaming platform’s new series about the running of a film studio is called The Studio. Its first season has...

Seth Rogen is taking aim at Hollywood itself in the first trailer for his and Evan Goldberg’s upcoming Apple TV+ comedy, “The Studio.” The series, which is produced by Lionsgate Television, will premiere exclusively on the streamer on March 26.

“The Studio” follows Matt Remick (Rogen), an executive for Continental Studios who originally got into the business because of his genuine love of film. But when he’s promoted to become head of Continental, the day-to-day stress quickly transforms his dream job into a waking nightmare.

“I’m honored, obviously, to be one of the people who gets to choose which movies get made and which ones don’t,” Matt says in the trailer. “And I got into all this because, you know, I love movies. But now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them.”

“The job is a meat grinder,” his mentor Amy (Catherine O’Hara) sagely responds.

Everyone loves a good workplace comedy. These sitcoms appeal to everyone’s need to find joy in the smallest things, including their sometimes-tedious jobs. They’ve dominated the airwaves for decades, and they’ve done the same on modern streaming services. So, it shouldn’t be surprising to learn that people are excited about Apple TV’s upcoming office sitcom, The Studio.

News about the series broke in 2022. More specifically, its production was announced on November 14 of that year. At that time, the only known fact was that it would star Seth Rogen. However, as its March 2025 release date approaches, more details are being tactically dropped.

The Studio Has the Chance to Be Apple TV's Next Big Hit Image via Apple TV+ In 2022, the same year The Studio was announced, Apple TV ordered content for Legendary Entertainment’s renewed MonsterVerse. 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon was Apple TV’s first theatrical release.

In a surprising move during the Super Bowl broadcast, Seth Rogen introduced a new trailer for his upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series, The Studio. Set to premiere on March 26, the show focuses on a fictional movie studio led by Rogen’s character, Matt Remick, as he contends with creative pressures and corporate demands.

The trailer, titled Duhpocalypse, includes a notably provocative scene featuring a zombie and a graphic moment of flatulence. In a boardroom discussion, Remick declares, “No, it’s true, but I definitely want that diarrhea explosion in the trailer,” while his colleagues debate whether to keep the scene.

Presented as a movie within the series, the faux trailer stars Josh Hutcherson and Johnny Knoxville. In the clip, Hutcherson’s character faces off against a zombie amid frantic news updates. Knoxville’s remarks and Hutcherson’s alarm lend an unexpected twist to the depiction of a typical zombie thriller.

Seth Rogen, the head of the fictional Continental Studios, wants a graphic diarrhea explosion kept in one of his movies in a new trailer for Apple TV+’s The Studio comedy.

The trailer, which dropped on Friday, sees Rogen as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of the fictional movie studio at the center of the Apple series, and his team of fellow creatives as they battle over whether to keep a graphic scene where a zombie infects a character, played by Josh Hutcherson, with his deadly flatulence in their teaser trailer titled Duhpocalypse.

Duhpocalypse is the studio’s movie-within-the-series, a new zombie comedy thriller starring Hutcherson and Johnny Knoxville (coming to theaters this summer).

“It’s true. It’s a very deep and complex film. But I want that diarrhea explosion in the trailer,” Rogen’s character says in the trailer, which is set around a boardroom table.

The second iteration of The Inclusion List from Dr. Stacy L. Smith and the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative has identified the 150 most inclusive films from 2019 to 2023, adding to its initial class of 100 films by naming 50 new titles for the year 2023.

Four films from that year have made it into the Top 10 Most Inclusive Films for that timespan, according to the study released Wednesday, with A Thousand and One taking the No. 2 spot overall, Bottoms coming in seventh, The Color Purple ninth and The Blackening in 10th.

The list’s point system took into account talent both in front of and behind the camera, with a total of 20 points broken down into 10-point halves for both on-screen and off-screen inclusion. Two distinct processes were used, one for leads/co-leads and the other for all speaking characters. A film could earn up to 10 points for on-screen inclusion based on the five inclusion indicators across leads/co leads (up to 5 points) and all speaking characters (up to 5 points).

A Thousand and One ranks second with a score of 13.6/20, while Bottoms scores a 12.2/20. The Color Purple and The Blackening are tied with a score of 11.8/20. The highest scoring film on the list remains Gina Prince-Bythewood’s The Woman King (2022) with a 15/20.

The list also evaluated 2023 films displaying the best inclusivity across five categories: gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQ+, disability, and age. It named five of the most inclusive 2023 films within each of those categories.

The 2023 films that scored the highest for the gender indicator of inclusion were A Thousand and One, You Hurt My Feelings, The Marvels, Priscilla and Barbie. A Thousand and One also scored high on the race/ethnicity list alongside 2023’s Joy Ride, The Color Purple, The Blackening and House Party. In the LGBTQ+ category, the top five films of 2023 were All of Us Strangers, Theater Camp, Bottoms, Knock at the Cabin and Saltburn. 2023 releases ranking high in the disability category included What Happens Later, John Wick: Chapter 4, Moving On, Golda and The Holdovers. Films from 2023 that scored highest in their representation of age on the big screen were Moving On, Book Club: The Next Chapter, Marlowe, The Miracle Club and Golda.

Researchers also took into consideration the race and ethnicity of crew members in the roles of director, writer, producer, cinematographer, editor, composer, production designer, costume designer, casting director and assistant director.

The second Inclusion List also names 25 top achievers across inclusion metrics and 50 new winners for 2023 cinema. Released Jan. 22, the results calls attention to directors, editors and distributors involved in projects with the highest percentage of women and people of color employees who aided in the process of production from start to finish line.

Eight editors were noted for their work in film over the past five years, including Annette Davey, Anne McCabe, Blair McClendon, Catrin Hedström, Hilda Rasula, Harry Yoon, Mary Jo Markey.

Keke Palmer's new comedy One of Them Days has broken a Rotten Tomatoes record. The movie, which was produced by Insecure's Issa Rae, was directed by Lawrence Lamont (who previously collaborated with Rae on Max's Rap Sh!t) from the debut screenplay by Syreeta Singleton (who was the showrunner of Rap Sh!t). It co-stars Palmer and singer-songwriter Sza as best friends Dreux and Alyssa alongside an ensemble cast that includes Vanessa Bell Calloway, Maude Apatow, Katt Williams, Dewayne Perkins, Lil Rel Howery, and Janelle James.

The new Keke Palmer movie is the latest in a string of prominent projects for the actor, who kicked off her career in the mid 2000s and first rose to prominence when she starred opposite Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett in 2006's Akeelah and the Bee. She parlayed this success as a child actor into roles in projects such as Disney's Jump In! and Nickelodeon's True Jackson,...

Comedies are hard to come by these days. They’re practically non-existent — a reality I’m quite bitter about because who doesn’t like to laugh? — or, if they do exist, are just plain bad. So I was surprised that One of Them Daysmanaged to get made at all. The film, directed by Lawrence Lamont from a screenplay by Syreeta Singleton, is a throwback buddy comedy we don’t see much of. While that occasionally works against it, One of Them Days is fun and delightfully absurd. Keke Palmer and Sza are great together and it’s their chemistry and interactions that largely work.

One of Them Days, directed by Lawrence Lamont, follows best friends and roommates Dreux and Alyssa as they scramble to prevent eviction after discovering Alyssa's boyfriend has squandered their rent money. This comedic adventure highlights their desperate and humorous attempts to save their home and friendship.

The hangout comedy has seemingly disappeared from theaters in recent years. As tentpole films and big-budget spectacle rules, even a movie about friends hanging out seems unexciting to general audiences. However, One of Them Days takes its simple premise and runs wild. Starring Keke Palmer and Sza, One of Them Days gets big laughs on every level. In addition to a dozen great sight gags, one-liners from its leads help put an exclamation point on scenes. While it runs too long for its own good, One of Them Days has a real chance as an early-year sleeper.

Seth Rogen has a new comedy series in the works based on his real life experiences in the “very tragic” world of Hollywood. The Studio is a 10-episode series for Apple TV+ created, produced, co-directed and starring Rogen.

Rogen and his creative partner Evan Goldberg based The Studio on real-life encounters they had with Hollywood executives as they were coming up in the industry. "Me and Evan always are quoting a meeting we had when we were just starting, where a studio executive said literally the thing that Matt says in the pilot," Rogen told Entertainment Weekly.

As The Studio progresses, Rogen’s character, studio head Matt Remick, is torn between allowing the actors he admires artistic freedom and toeing the studio's bottom line. A dichotomy he was confronted with in the initial encounter that inspired the series.

“[The studio executive] was giving us notes and he hung his head and was like,...

Seth Rogen's newest comedy series, The Studio, which debuts on AppleTV+ in spring 2025, features a cavalcade of celebrity guests playing the worst versions of themselves imaginable. Everyone from Anthony Mackie, Adam Scott, Ron Howard, and Zack Snyder to Olivia Wilde, Zoë Kravitz, Charlize Theron, and Ice Cube appear on the show.

But there was one guest star who stood out from the rest, both in the scene and behind the scenes: Martin Scorsese, venerable director, producer, and sometimes actor. His role is integral to the overarching plot, which involves Rogen's character, Matt Remick, attempting to make a film that, in actuality, is a long product placement ad for Kool-Aid.
