This week on Welcome to the Poddy, Clay lays by the fire as he returns after a brief (and much-needed) break, opening up about the chaos of his recent schedule, the importance of taking time off, and the strange, sobering experience of witnessing a Nepalese man in the middle of a manic episode.

Then it’s lights, camera, dysfunction—Clay reviews the Apple TV+ workplace satire The Studio (2024), a sharply written comedy about the desperation to succeed, people-pleasing bosses, and the chaotic energy of modern creative workspaces. Paired with a bag of Natural Confectionery lollies (because gummy sugar fuels all emotional labor), this review dives into themes of bad management, fragile egos, and dream jobs that turn into slow-motion nightmares.

Expect film review with a twist of real life, a few laugh-out-loud moments, and the relatable pain of being way too available on Slack.
