Watch: “The Studio.” If you’ve ever wondered how the movies get green-lit before they hit the big screens, you’ve got to watch this 13-time Emmy-winning show. It is a chaotic comedy that follows the life of studio head Matt Remick, played by Seth Rogan, and his team at the fictional Continental Studio. It gives a glimpse into what really happens in the real Hollywood, how many people need to nod, and how many more need to be sweet-talked ahead of a movie launch. It also reminds me of “Entourage,” the 2004 series. Big bonus: It has a stellar cast and cameos from several big names! – Suhani

There’s two more sets of matches today and tomorrow, the highlight of which pits the favorites Liverpool against Atletico Madrid. – Zac
