  "textContent": "**Episode 202: Here, After by Joel Kim Booster**\n\nThis month, Dead Pilots Society welcomes back writer, actor, and comedian **Joel Kim Booster** , whose pilot **Birthright** was previously featured on Episode 34. Joel wrote and starred in the hit Hulu movie Fire Island. He was a writer on The Other Two and Big Mouth, and as an actor, you've seen him on Shrill and Search Party.\n\nJoel's pilot **Here, After,** never actually sold, despite being developed with the companies of Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, and Aidy Bryant. But when Andrew read it, he knew it deserved a place on the podcast.\n\nIt is about the unlikely friendship between Ezra, a Gen Z woman trying to make a difference in the world and find her place in it, and Charlie, a caustic, self-absorbed, gay millennial ghost.\n\nFunny, frank, surprisingly moving, and packed with killer jokes, _Here, After_ is a pilot about friendship, purpose, and what happens when a ghost refuses to move on.\n\nThe cast for this pilot includes Joel Kim Booster (Fire Island, The Other Two), MItra Jouhari (Digman!, Bigmouth, The Bear), Poppy Liu (Hacks, I Love Boosters!), Charlie Barnett (The Acolyte, Russian Doll), Katherine Bourne Taylor (Bellingham Bay), Lisa Gilroy (Shrinking)\n\nVideo of the live table read is available exclusively to Maximum Fun members. Become a member for as little as $5 a month at maximumfun.org/join.\n\nThe next Dead Pilots Society live show is at the Elysian Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 12th. The show will feature readings of **Weekly World News** by Michael Colton and John Aboud, and **Fan Girl** by Claudia Lonow. Go to **https://www.elysiantheater.com/** to get your tickets.\n\nAnd don’t forget to check out Andrew’s documentary _Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story_ at https://www.reddkrossfilm.com/",
