This episode truly was the jewel so far in this already fantastic show.
Seth Rogan really made this episode simultaneously a homage to film noir tie while keeping the comedic fast paced ambiance of the show. Although the episode is somewhat of an outlier in the show it still manages to maintain its core themes while adding in a bit of mystery. The twists and turns throughout the episode as well and Rogans comedic narrations really brought this episode to another level with Zac Efron's cameo being the icing on the cake.
With little to nothing to complain about and all of the entertaining quality's of this episode the future looks bright for this show.

Wanted to give this a 7.5/10 to be precise.
This was entertaining and funny too. Matching 'The Oner' is a hill of a task but I am sure the upcoming episodes that have interesting titles, can beat it.
While the Ep. 3 was a disaster, Ep. 4 brings back the charm and humor. I liked it. Maybe not as much as the first 2 episodes but yeah definitely a good one to enjoy!
We have titles like Cinemacon, Golden Globes etc. Coming and I cannot wait to see the mayhem lol!
So far the series has been fun but for me I have watched better comedy shows and except for 'The Oner', nothing felt extremely funny as such but it is one of the good shows I have watched in while especially in a time period where Hollywood makes every movie to extract money from the audience without having quality.
Good entertaining show!
The Oner is the best!

My father, Joe Mantell, spoke that iconic line in Chinatown, so this episode (with all the various references to Chinatown) was especially entertaining and nostalgic to me. A real walk down memory lane. I have a photo of my dad dressed up in character before he left for a night shoot. I later met Jack Nicholson while the sequel was being shot. He was such a nice man! (Very relieving, cuz you know the old saying...never meet your hero's.) Just thought I'd share a bit here.
I really love all the episodes in this new series though! Can't wait to see more! Such a big fan of Seth's. The entire cast is so great. Such a funny show!

This episode was a standout, largely thanks to Matt's captivating performance! His monologue, delivered with an intensity that perfectly echoed Walter Kovacs/Rorschach, was incredibly effective. The attention to detail in his dress-up, from the trench coat to the fedora, truly brought the character to life without being a mere imitation. It was fantastic to see him channel that same relentless, almost obsessive dedication to his investigation, mirroring Rorschach's unyielding pursuit of truth. This creative homage not only paid tribute to a beloved character but also added a unique, compelling layer to Matt's ongoing quest, making for a truly memorable viewing experience.
The Studio was pleasant surprise and probably one of the three best new TV shows in recent years. Especially when we are talking about comedy.
First three episodes were pure fun, but the fourth one doesn't meet the high standards established so far. It's been shot in Film nour style and it's clearly homage to the Old Hollywood but it lacks the frenetic atmosphere and hilarity from its predecessors.
Also, celebrity cameos seems flat, but it's hard to follow after Ron Howard or Martin Scorsese.
It's not the bad 30-minutes TV at all. It just isn't the supreme enjoyment we've been served until now.

- TriviaThe older man in the beginning of the episode screening the movie with Seth Rogan is Ike Barinholz's dad.
- GoofsTrivia Zac asks Seth "Is that your '53 Corvette on the lot?" Seth confirms it and Zac asks if that was the first year Corvettes were made. Ike mentions "It's the third one ever made." Later shots show Seth and Ike driving the car, painted in Pennant Blue with a beige interior. Whether intentionally or accidentally, the car is actually not a 1953. 300 Corvettes were built for 1953, all painted Polo White, with red interiors, black convertible tops, and inline six-cylinder engines. Pennant Blue was introduced as an exterior paint option for 1954 and was also available for 1955. Seth's car is a 1955. The presence of a gold 'V' on its front fender further distinguishes the car as one equipped with a V8 engine, introduced for 1955.
