I started the April shows coming thread....I am excited for this one. I love Seth Rogan - Longshot is my favorite movie. This one could be good and I wanted to recommend it. Also stars Catherine O'Hara, Kathryn Hahn, and Ike Baronholtz (from Mindy Project).

I read the review in the WSJ and it sounds good. Or at least, the review was funny.

My 16 year old is interested in Hollywood and movie-making - if anyone has seen the show please let me know if you think a 16 year old would like it.
He loves Severance, superhero shows, How I Met Your Mother....not at all delicate about what we show him but I draw the line at glorifying sexual violence or long, really explicit sex scenes. |
It was funny! Fun story, love LA. I think a 16 year old would like it but they curse a lot. |
I was excited for this since I loved The Offer. I was underwhelmed by The Studio, but I'm not a Seth Rogan person. |
I like it a lot. I enjoy the Hollywood/LA backdrop for series though i.e. Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc. |
Breaking Bad |
The character Petra (an assistant on The Studio) was on Curb.

The 2nd episode was SO funny. |
I just watched it and was hysterical. It makes me sad though, a little. I live in LA and the film industry is so diminished and the fires ravaged the city. It's not the finest moment. |
