The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke wants to give The Studio a run for its money. As well as being the frontrunner of superhero satire, the show's creator says he's also aiming to parody Hollywood as accurately as possible.
"We have this goal that – on top of everything else – we want to be the most accurate inside-Hollywood show," Kripke said in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"Obviously, The Studio does it better," he continued, referring to Seth Rogen's meta Apple TV comedy. "But just to get in so many of those inside jokes – and the more obscure the better. Like the Taylor Sheridan thing came out of my kids watching Landman. So I'm watching it like, 'This is Landman? This is crazy.' Then we started talking about it and it became a [show within the show titled] American Eagle."
"If we stiff it, they will definitely say, 'Well, that show wasn't as good as we thought it was.' And it's almost like you're trying to secure your legacy with these finales. And it's the first finale I've ever done, too – so it's not like I have any experience with it."
