Matt Remick loves being a part of film sets, so that he can see how it comes together behind the scenes. Matt and Sal arrive at the film set together to the surprise of everyone as they did not want the studio head visiting the set. Sal’s main motivations to be on set are to appease Sarah Polley so that she will make their next film at Continental Studios, and keep  Matt away from the talent. Matt won’t disrupt the production, and the talent won’t try to manipulate Matt into giving them everything they want. Matt is anxious and excited to see the shoot as they were filming a one-shot long take to give their film its closing shot. Matt does not want to be in the way of the director by giving unnecessary input. But when she gives Matt the green light to provide any input he feels is necessary, he goes all in with suggestions to Sarah Polley. She appeases his requests to keep Matt happy so he will pay for a Rolling Stones song for the film.

The production team has a limited amount of time to get the one-shot take before the end of the day. And as time is dwindling, Matt and his antics constantly disrupt the set and interrupt takes. The production crew attempted to separate Matt from the director.  His reluctance to be around the director for the scene brought him back next to Sarah to see the one-shot scene unfold. The take goes well, but Matt was constantly talking throughout, ruining the scene once more, and dwindling more time throughout the day. Matt begins to leave the set, but once he runs into Greta Lee, she convinces him to stay on set to support. However, Greta has her own motivations.  She wants to score access to a private jet during the marketing of her film. With everyone wanting Matt gone from the set, he reluctantly decides to stay to see the scene, as he believes people are being nice to him and want his active support.

The production team is finally able to shoot the “oner” scene.  All looks well until the end.  The take is interrupted, once again, due to Matt’s car blocking the driveway. This forces Matt to finally leave the set allowing the production crew to rush the scene before the day ends. Matt and Sal leave the set with the hope that the crew can get the final shot of their movie, only to receive a text stating they weren’t able to shoot the scene.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg create magic with the second episode of this series. The entire episode being done in one take, while the plot of the episode was about the production team shooting a final movie scene in one take, was pure genius and effectively done. Viewers can feel the stress and pressures of being a studio head through Matt’s lens. Matt is an excellent character to follow as he navigates life as a studio exec. Yet underneath it all, he actually hates being a studio exec, and is really a cinephile at heart. The humor is absolutely top-notch, and Seth and Evan are firing on all cylinders with this series.
