'The Studio' and the Twilight of Movie Tycoons
In Apple TV+’s The Studio, Seth Rogen plays Matt Remick, a studio boss just appointed to run the apparently fictional Continental Pictures. Fueled by hyperkinetic camerawork and dialogue that name-checks the celebrities who are not actually dragooned into making cameos, the series promises an under-the-hood look at the sputtering engine of the motion picture industry in the age of streaming. Judging by the first episodes, Matt is not, in the oft-quoted phrase of F.

Thomas Doherty for Issue 17
At some point in life, we become adults, like the dance of nature. We don’t seem to notice it, but there is a moment when the last golden leaf sways to the ground and suddenly, it is winter.

The Blacklisting of a Great Artist: Paul Robeson’s Exile From Hollywood
Communist, fellow traveler, red, pinko, commie, useful idiot — the searing epithets of the Cold War have lost their sting but in their day they were lacerating. Depending on where the recipient was located on the left-of-center spectrum, a career might be stalled, derailed, or killed.

100 Years Later, Revisiting Buster Keaton in the Multiverse
A hundred years later, the sequence still radiates an otherworldly aura: a man wearing a porkpie hat walks down the aisle of a movie theater, steps up onto the stage, and slips into the motion picture screen. The film we have been watching — a conventional enough story of a boy who loses his girl due to a dumb misunderstanding — flows fluidly into another cinematic realm, where the boy is a brilliant detective who outwits the bad guys, solves the crime, and gets the girl.

Texas Porn Star Massacres
There aren’t many writer-directors with the confidence to end a genre film with an eight-minute monologue delivered in a single unbroken close-up. Nor to have the same actor hold an excruciating smile throughout its end-credits.
