The Studio Recap: Oh No!
Watching Matt try to figure out whether casting Ice Cube as the Kool-Aid Man is problematic is a biting setup that quickly gets bleak.
Maya suspects it’s a “perfect storm of nostalgia, kitsch, irony, and stupidity.” She then wonders aloud if they should make out, to which Matt replies that they said they couldn’t do that anymore. Tyler, whose existence Matt has seemingly forgotten despite his importance to Maya, is fine with it, but he does not “feel comfortable speaking for all Black people.” Fortunately, both Ziwe and Lil Rel Howery are nearby. • That the animator who asks about AI (billed in the credits as “Nerd” and played by Amber Dancy) is wearing a Homelander costume is both a nod to The Boys, another Seth Rogen–Evan Goldberg–produced show, and an acknowledgment that figuring out what is and what isn’t offensive is impossible.
