Hey, what’s up, everyone? Let’s dive into Episode 6 of The Studio, that hilarious show on AppleTV+. This time, we’re following Matt Remick, the big boss of Continental Studios, as he steps out of his movie-making world and into something way more personal: a new girlfriend and a super awkward night out. Picture this: he’s trying to impress his girl at a fancy event while his phone’s blowing up with work drama. It’s a total rollercoaster, and I’m here to break it all down for you in a way that’s easy to get, whether you’re 10 or 20 like me. Let’s go!
Matt’s Morning Mix-Up
So, the episode starts off at Matt’s super nice house. He’s playing the sweet boyfriend, bringing coffee to his new girl, Sarah, who’s still lounging in bed, flipping through TV channels.
Matt’s got this goofy side that’s honestly the best—he tries to make a palm tree shape in the foam of her cappuccino (that’s just coffee with frothy milk, by the way).
But, oops, it ends up looking like something way funnier and kinda awkward… let’s just call it a “grown-up shape” that makes Sarah go, “Huh?” 😂
They start chatting about what’s on TV, and it’s MK Ultra 4, a movie Matt’s studio made. He gets all pumped and says he “made” it, which Sarah thinks means he directed it.
Nah, he just helped get it going—he calls it “championing” it. Then he spills the tea: he took this little sci-fi flick and turned it into a huge series with seven movies! The catch? You’ve gotta watch them in a weird order—like, part 2 after part 3 but before part 4. Wild, right?
Sarah’s a doctor who helps kids with cancer, so she’s not really a movie buff. But she’s into Matt and says she’ll watch all the MK Ultra movies with him on weekends.
Cute! Then she asks him to come with her to a charity gala the next night. She doesn’t wanna go solo, and Matt’s like, “Sure, sounds fun!” Oh boy, he has no idea what’s coming.
Why Matt Feels Weird at the Gala in The Studio Episode 6
Fast forward to the gala—it’s all about raising money to help kids with cancer, which is awesome. Matt meets Sarah’s doctor pals, Rebecah and Steve, and things start okay.
But then there’s this funny moment where Sarah says Steve knows about “CARs.” Matt thinks it’s cars, like the ones you drive, and starts bragging about his cool rides.
Turns out, it’s a doctor thing (Chimeric Antigen Receptors—fancy words for fighting cancer), and they all laugh at the mix-up.
Then he meets Josh and June, another doctor couple who actually watch movies. Matt’s thinking, “Sweet, we’ll get along!” Nope. They’re all about streaming stuff at home on their giant TV and think movie theaters are old news.
When Matt name-drops his studio’s films, they’re not impressed and start poking fun. He tries to stick up for his job, saying every movie’s art, even the bad ones.
But the doctors team up and tease him more, especially when they peek at a work text about a movie trailer. Matt’s feeling like he doesn’t fit in, but he’s not throwing in the towel yet.
Work Trouble Keeps Piling Up
While Matt’s trying to survive the gala, his job’s stressing him out too. His studio’s working on Duhpocalypse, a comedy-horror flick directed by Spike Jonze (a big-deal director who’s won awards).
It’s about zombies spreading a virus with, uh, really messy poop explosions. Gross, right? 😅 But Jonze says it’s actually a smart joke about how fake health info spreads online—like, the poop stands for all the dumb stuff people share.
Matt loves the idea, but the trailer’s causing drama. It shows a zombie blasting poop right at the camera, and some theaters are like, “No way, that’s too nasty!” They want it cut, but Matt and Jonze fight to keep it since it’s the heart of the movie.
The team tweaks it a bit—less in-your-face poop—and gets it done by 10 PM. Matt’s juggling this on his phone at the gala, and when the doctors see a text about it, they laugh at him even harder. Still, the trailer gets approved, so Matt’s stoked about that win.
Matt’s Big Money Move
Things get spicy when the gala talk turns to “whose job matters more.” Matt’s fed up with the doctors acting like his film gig’s a joke. He’s like, “Hey, movies make life fun—way important!” The doctors fire back, “We save kids from cancer. Beat that.” It’s a standoff, and neither side wants to budge.
Matt decides to flex a little. He points out that even the gala venue brags about movies shot there—like Gigli, a total flop from 2003 (check it out on IMDb if you’re curious).
He’s saying even bad films get remembered more than great doctors. Then, bam! During the auction, he drops $200,000 on a golf trip that Steve and Josh wanted.
Matt doesn’t even like golf—he just wants them to see he’s a big deal. Talk about a power move!
Does Matt Win or Lose in The Studio Episode 6?
It’s getting messy, and Sarah tells Matt to chill and say sorry to her friends. He does, admitting he got too full of himself, and offers the golf trip to Steve and Josh as a peace gift.
But here’s the kicker: he wants them to say his job’s as tough and important as theirs. Respect, you know?
They’re not having it, though. No way they’ll put movie-making on the same level as saving lives. Matt’s mad and storms off.
Then, whoops he’s distracted on a work call, trips, and breaks his finger. Ouch! He limps back to Sarah for help, but she’s done and tells him to go. Stubborn as ever, Matt keeps walking, passes out from the pain, and ends up in an ambulance.
Sarah gets him to her hospital, and even then, he’s arguing that movies on hospital TVs help patients feel better. Dude doesn’t quit!
By the end, Matt’s with a new woman at home, so things with Sarah are toast. Neither he nor the doctors backed down—they’re all too proud.
His new date trashes MK Ultra 4, calling it the worst, and ditches his next date idea. Looks like Matt’s love life’s a mess, but he’s still all about his movies.

Final Thoughts
Man, this episode of The Studio is a riot! It’s so relatable—ever been somewhere you just don’t fit in? Matt’s night is full of cringe and laughs, showing how people in different jobs, like movies or medicine, see the world totally differently.
He’s all about his films, but not everyone gets it. I love how it makes you think about what “important” really means, all while keeping it light and funny. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Matt!
