Think THE STUDIO Is Just Fiction? Ask Her.

Like so many who have spent their lives around creatives, especially those of us fortunate enough to have actually been employed by a few, I looked forward to Wednesday’s dropping of the first two episodes of THE STUDIO, a spot-on satire from the fertile minds of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.  I’m an unapologetic fan … Read more
