The Chair Recommends: The Studio

While many of you might be wondering who gets the axe on White Lotus (still rooting for toothy Chelsea to survive!), The Chair has been enamored with Apple TV’s newest venture The Studio. A barely exaggerated view of the movie biz with none other than Seth Rogen as a newly installed studio chief.

Littered with guest stars in the best possible way (Hi Marty! Hi Charlize!), Rogen’s studio head has to deal with every Hollywood stereotype while also making a movie adaptation of the Kool Aid man (seriously, not kidding here). Rogen loves movies, but his job is to destroy them. How perfect is that? Anyway, take a few moments away from watching government officials destroy our democracy and watch this gem, which will most certainly clean up at the Emmys. Beware Hacks, there’s a new meta sheriff in town.

Till next week…

To Joan, With Love

Do you know how many sedatives it would take for The Chair to not write about Chuck Schumer (and his Democrat allies) waving the white flag to Presidents Trump and Musk? The answer: the exact amount he was given during his dental surgery.

I think I know who stole her lorazepams

While the Chair recovers, and considers whether or not the entire cast of White Lotus can be thrown overboard this season (OK, we can save Chelsea and her toothy grin), enjoy this bonus minute of resistance brought to you by the icon herself, Miss Joan Baez.

It’s no surprise that the Chair loves Miss Baez (read more here) — after all, he did a book report about her autobiography in the 11th grade, effusively praising her for the queen that she is. So let’s all do the same and honor this woman, and all other women fighting the good fight. It’s Women’s History Month after all… isn’t it? Googles to see if that still exists in this country…

Joan, we love ya. Keep fighting — and we’ll do the same.
