This episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast takes us into the world of Apple TV+’s Emmy-nominated comedy 'The Studio', with supervising sound editor and sound designer George Haddad.
Created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, The Studio has quickly become one of Apple’s biggest comedy hits, renewed for a second season and breaking records with 23 Emmy nominations, the most ever for a freshman comedy. The series stars Rogen as Matt Remick, the panicked new boss of Continental Studios, alongside Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders, with cameos from some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
George discusses how his love of sound began with Star Wars, what it takes to wrangle the wall-to-wall dialogue of The Studio, and how comedy demands a very different sound approach compared to drama. He also shares stories from sneaking around Warner Bros. with a microphone, the Golden Globes episode, and his past work on shows like Gotham and Taylor Sheridan’s Landman.
Time Stamps (approx.):
00:00 – Intro & George’s path into sound via Star Wars
05:30 – Joining The Studio and the early conversations with Seth & Evan’s team

In this episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast, we’re stepping inside The Institute — the dark and gripping new MGM+ series adapted from the novel by Stephen King, which premieres on Sunday, 13th July 2025.
The eight-part thriller follows 12-year-old genius Luke Ellis (played by Joe Freeman), who is kidnapped and wakes up in a sinister facility full of children with psychic powers. Meanwhile, Ben Barnes plays Tim Jamieson, a former cop trying to start over in a nearby town — until fate puts him on a collision course with Luke’s fight for survival.
Joining host Dave Elliott are some of the incredible talent behind the show:
🎬 Benjamin Cavell (Writer & Executive Producer) and Jack Bender (Director & Executive Producer) discuss adapting the novel, balancing dual storylines, and the show's central question: how far would you go for the greater good?
🎭 Mary-Louise Parker talks about portraying the morally complex Ms. Sigsby, finding the humanity in a villain, and the atmosphere on set in Nova Scotia.
👦 Joe Freeman and Ben Barnes reflect on building their characters, connecting off-screen, and the emotional intensity of the series.
If you're a fan of Stephen King, dark mysteries, or compelling character-driven drama, this is an episode not to miss!
