Critic Rating

When Alex Eli (Kyle Prue) is plucked from obscurity and offered the role of franchise megalith Jack Stellar, booking the gig is only the beginning. In a whirlwind week of media training, he is thrust into the deep end of shark-infested Malibu waters. As he’s broken down and reinvented, Alex can’t tell who to trust. There’s the agent who needs him. The director who mentored him. The father who abandoned him. Loyalties are tested as the clock runs down to Xander’s livestreamed reveal. When the cameras start rolling, who will be at his side…and will he even be...

Michael Bergonzi • Audio Drama Reviews Apr 30, 2025

"A story about many issues in today's media landscape. The age-old question of whether breaking into Hollywood is worth the effort is a theme of the story, but the addition of extraneous other subplots makes the execution of said theme feel a bit underdeveloped."

Evo Terra • The End Mar 27, 2025

"This fast-paced story of the worst side of Hollywood reminds me why I left L.A. 30 years ago. Don't let that put you off. It's a fantastic listen, with great production voice talent. And there are tunes!"
