Seth Rogen on ‘The Invite,’ ‘Tangles,’ ‘The Studio’ Season 2, Reviving ‘Darkwing Duck’ and Why ‘Any A–hole Can Write That Joke’ Was the Best Advice He Ever Got

Seth Rogen discusses a varied year of projects, including the relationship drama “The Invite” and the hand-drawn animated film “Tangles”, in a podcast conversation recorded at the Middleburg Film Festival. He says the work reflects a desire to take different creative risks, while crediting luck and collaborators for helping bring the projects to life.

“Tangles”, based on Sarah Leavitt’s graphic memoir about her mother’s Alzheimer’s, took 10 years to make and is directed by first-time feature filmmaker Leah Nelson. Its voice cast includes Rogen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Abbi Jacobson, Bryan Cranston and Samira Wiley; it will receive an awards-qualifying cinema run this year, with wider release planned for early 2027. Rogen also discusses “The Studio” Season 2, the announced “Darkwing Duck” revival and advice that any comedian can write a joke.
