The Studio S1E3 - The Note

 After finding the first two episodes of Apple TV+ new comedy series The Studio a bit outrageous and over the top at the times watching today's third episode there was something a bit comforting now with enough episodes past that I feel like a I've sat a bit more into the specific delivery and heightened energy of the series.

It's sort've funny that with Ron Howard's appearance as himself on The Studio we have now gotten two major comedy series this season using Howard as a main plot point to an episode with Howard having appeared as himself in a memorable cameo on Only Murders in the Building. Howard gets to unleash much more in his Studio appearance leading to some brilliant physical comedy in the shows ending when Rogen's "Matt" Remick giving Rogen a note which leads to their physical altercation.


While I still believe The Studio is covering similar themes to that of films like 1992's The Player or HBO's Entourage I'm glad to say I'm a bit more sold having watched this third episode then I was by the first two. I do appreciation the production of this show and have since the beginning so tuning in weekly is turning out not to feel like a chore.

Picking up immediately after the events of the third season Hacks returns with the tension between Deborah and Ava palpable. I loved this choice of the immediate start as the moment of blackmail was such a major twist that you almost couldn't not return immediately. The artistic couple of Deborah and Ava is so central to the shows success so making the two had odds so intensely so far has given some incredible moments of drama and comedy especially. The intense prank pulling by Deborah led to some of the funniest moments of these first two episodes, I'm thinking especially of a scene where Ava is questioned by her show producer Rob (Dan Bucatinsk) having received a pair of 'panties' from her mysteriously. It was nice to see the play be...

Hacks S04E04 - I Love L.A.

Another week another fabulous episode of Hacks fourth season. After three episodes of tension filled shenanigans between Deborah and Ava this latest episode showcases how true the friendship between the two women truly is. I genuinely cried tears of happiness watching the fourth episode entitled "I Love L.A." not because of deeply emotional confessions instead I was affected my even through strive these women showing the slightest bit of affection is so moving due to everything the two have been through all the ups and downs. After the built up leading to Deborah's big first late night show we experience the veteran comedian experience a panic attack/stage fright during the day before rehearsal. Jean Smart has always been incredible as Deborah and this episode showcases how even with all the brilliant wise cracks and insults she gets to fire Smart is truly wonderful playing the woman behind the star that Deborah is. The moments of pause both during the rehearsal and later...
