PLOT Hapless Hollywood exec Matt (Rogen) finds himself in the top job at Continental Studios, where he must deliver a billion-dollar blockbuster while not pissing off ‘the talent’.
AS THE OLD adage goes, in Hollywood nobody knows anything. That seems to be even more the case in our hyper-caffeinated, multi-platform, AI-injected modern times: the Dream Factory out in LA seems more chaotic than ever. It’s ripe timing, then, for Seth Rogen to impishly chuck a spanner into the cogs of that factory, spoofing the inherent daftness of the movie business with a witty, knowing and cameo-jammed ten-episode satire.
