Franco plays talk show host Dave Skylark, who interviews stars about rumors and their personal lives. After his producer Rogen has an epiphany and convinces everyone to take the program in a more serious direction, they line up Kim Jong-un (played by Randall Park) as a guest. When the CIA catches wind of this, they want in on the action, instructing the journalists to assassinate the North Korean leader. Audiences instantly praised THE INTERVIEW out of protest for the release cancellation triggered by Sony Pictures Entertainment getting hacked. For a film centered around very contemporary political issues, the movie actually does very little to educate the viewer, nor does it even come off as witty regarding the topic it's satirizing. Still, as a comedy, it hits pretty much every note.
