Actor, writer, director, and producer Seth Rogen came up in an age of abundance&mdash;a Hollywood that made big-budget comedies with box office success: The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express. That era also guided his new Apple TV+ show <a href="https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-studio/umc.cmc.7518algxc4lsoobtsx30dqb52">The Studio</a>. On the heels of the series&rsquo; premiere, Rogen joins us to discuss its key influences (4:00), from Robert Altman&rsquo;s&nbsp;The Player to The Larry Sanders Show (10:00), the evolving state of &ldquo;show business&rdquo; (17:00), and a life-changing piece of advice from director and producer Judd Apatow (23:00). On the back-half, we dive into his early years writing comedy in Vancouver (27:00), formative memories making Freaks and Geeks (30:00), the challenges of working inside the studio system itself (40:00), and how This Is the End, the meta-comedy from 2013, was a precursor to this latest project (50:00).
