Hollywood hasn't changed much in 2023


(5 stars)

This radio show is about people who are trying to claw themselves to the top of heap. An airplane carries some movie directors and one star who argue constantly until the airplane that they are in goes up and down due to bad weather. They continue to argue until the airplane stops in mid air. Everyone is terrified except for the pilot, who tells them to be calm and things will be ok. The woman who is the star climbs into the cockpit and he tries to reassure her and then the he tells her how selfish and egotistical she is. Meanwhile they are all trying to figure out ways to make money from a disaster or a near crash. You will have to listen to the entire show to find out how it ends! This reminds me of the actor who liked to play with guns and killed his director. He will probably go to jail because he should have known better. Do you know who I am talking about? Sincerely yours, Steven Oboler Schwartz
