‘Star Wars’ Writer’s Scripted Hollywood Satire Podcast ‘See You in Hell’ Takes on AI in Timely New Episode

“See You in Hell,” a new, independently-produced podcast satirizing Hollywood, has just dropped its third episode, and it’s all about Hollywood’s increasingly uncomfortable relationship with AI.

Per a press release, “See You in Hell” is about “married showrunners Dan and Gayle Bellingham are the creators of ‘West Palm Beach,’ the biggest, buzziest hit show in modern TV history. But when an acrimonious divorce brings their collaboration to an abrupt end, Dan and Gayle embark on separate careers, each determined to prove to the other that they were the true creative force behind their partnership — and their burning mutual animosity leads to an increasingly bitter and deranged feud in which each will go to any length to undermine and destroy the other.”

Netflix Reboots ‘Man on Fire’ With a Thrilling Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Performance: TV Review “See You in Hell” is a monthly series created and written by screenwriter Gary Whitta, whose credits include 2016’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and 2010’s “The Book of Eli.” Despite being independently-produced and financed, regular castmembers include Jon Cryer, Paul Scheer, Alex Winter, Alison Pill, Shannon Woodward and Thomas Sadoski, and features guest appearances from players like John Boyega and Kevin Smith.

Per the official description, in this week’s episode, which was released this morning, “Gayle doesn’t hold back when an AI tech company pitches her a virtual actress. Meanwhile, Dan is excited about his new collaboration with Ben Affleck. Gayle and Dan put aside their differences for one night to attend the Emmys together, confident that nothing will go horribly wrong.”

At least when George Lucas sold away his baby to Disney he got a billion dollars in the deal. After seeing the first Disney version of the Star Wars universe the Star Wars franchise has been dead to me.
