This is FRESH AIR.
I'm Tanya Moseley.
Let's go back to the year 2000.
A young Seth Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg have arrived from Canada and and they're meeting with a studio executive to go over a screenplay they've written together.
During the meeting, the executive makes a cynical confession.
I got into this job because I love movies, he says, and now I feel like it's my job to ruin them.
Rogen and Goldberg never forgot what that executive said, and 25 years later,
they've made it the basis of a new satirical comedy series called the Studio.
Rogan plays Matt Remick,
a Hollywood executive who gets an unexpected promotion as the head of the fictional Continental Studios.
After, in this scene, the CEO of the studio, played by Bryan Cranston,
offers Matt the job, but asks if Matt really has what it takes to do it the Continental way.
Patty's time has come and gone, and I'm seriously considering you to replace her.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
Yes.
