I'm planning to do a short video that's a sort of parody of amateur videos ABOUT current TV series.
Next, I'll give you the Chat GPT re-write of my short script. Next, I'll show you my own first draft, which I gave to Chat GPT. Finally, at the far bottom, it's the third or fourth mixed human-AI hybrid draft.

AI VERSION ONE
Only Murders In The Building is back with Season 4, split between New York and LA. But if there’s one thing you can’t miss, it’s the explosion of videos dissecting every episode. Everyone and their dog seems to be starting a channel for this!
Here at Only Easter Eggs in the Building, we’re going to be a little different. We might not even make another video. But let’s dive into Season 4, Episode 1.
The cast visits Sazz's Hollywood apartment, which they call the Sunset Swan. Fun fact: it’s a real apartment at 450 N Sycamore—my dog found it right away. Steve Martin mentions the Black Dahlia and Scarlett Johansson both lived there. The easter egg? Scarlett Johansson actually starred in a movie about the Black Dahlia back in 2006.
Now, let’s talk about the Borghese building. It’s also famous from David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive. Only Murders in the Building even mimics a Lynch scene, where Steve Martin’s character looks through a keyhole and sees dead flowers. Classic Lynch homage!
Then we’ve got Meryl Streep’s character, Loretta Durkin, now in Hollywood filming a show called Grey’s New Orleans Family Burn Unit. Does anyone else find that just hilarious? It’s like some producer’s fever dream: Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, New Orleans vibes, family drama, and...a burn unit? Oh, and since Grey’s Anatomy is owned by Disney Television, and Disney’s a big investor in Hulu, there’s the corporate tie-in.
Here’s a musical Easter egg for you: in the basement at the end of Episode 1, we hear a piano plinking the same note over and over. Composer Siddhartha Khosla mentioned in interviews that the Murders theme borrows this "plink plink plink" from the Beach Boys. And in this scene, it’s just the plink, all by itself.
There are a couple of incomplete Easter eggs, too. Martin Short mentions meeting Robert Evans at Paramount Studios. Evans was head of Paramount in 1966, but we couldn’t find a deeper connection with Martin Short. And at the Hollywood party, Short says, "Do you know who found the body? Candice Bergen." But we couldn’t dig up any links between Bergen and any bodies.
Finally, I’ve got a treat for you. I asked an AI to generate script outlines for six episodes of Grey’s New Orleans Family Burn Unit. You can find the link to those in the description

MY ORIGINAL IS HERE:
Only Murders In The Building is back with Season 4, set partly in New York, partly in LA. But if there’s one thing you can’t miss, it’s the explosion of videos discussing each episode. Everyone and their dog is starting a channel for this!
Here at Only Easter Eggs in the Building, we’re going to be different. We might not even make another video. Let’s dive in with Season 4 Episode 1. The cast visit the Hollywood apartment where Sazz lives, and call it the Sunset Swan. It’s a real apartment at 450 N Sycamore - my dog found it right away. Steve Martin says the Black Dahlia and Scarlett Johanson both lived there. The easter egg is, Scarlett Johanson WAS in a movie about the Black Dahlia, 2006.
And the Borghese building is also famous from David Lynch’s movie MULHOLLAND DRIVE. Only Murders in the Building copy a scene from David Lynch, as Steve Martin looks through a keyhole and sees dead flowers.
Meryl Streep’s character, Loretta Durkin, is now in Hollywood filming a series, GREY’S NEW ORLEANS FAMILY BURN UNIT. Does anybody besides me find that just hilarious? It’s like some lunatic producer’s crazy grab at every theme, style, and idea to pack into a show. Grey’s Anatomy, so it’s a spinoff right there, New Orleans, gotta love the food, FAMILY always a good word in a title, and burn unit. Grey’s Anatomy is owned by Disney Television and DISNEY is a major investor in HULU, so there’s a connection there.
Here’s a musical easter egg. In the basement, at the end of Episode 1, we hear a piano going plink plink plink with the same quarter note. In videos about the MURDERS theme song, Siddhartha Khosla says we was borrowing PLINK PLINK PLINK from the Beach Boys, and in this scene, we get nothing except the PLINK PLINK all alone.
I heard a couple incomplete Easter Eggs. Martin Short says he met Robert Evans at Paramount Studios, and yes, Robert Evans was head of production at Paramount in 1966, but we can’t find another connection to Martin Short. And at the Hollywood party, Martin Short name-drops, Do you know who found the body? Candace Bergin, but we can’t find another connection for Candace and dead bodies.
I’ll leave you with an artificial intelligence invention, script outlines for six episodes of GREY’S NEW ORLEANS FAMILY BURN UNIT. Find the link to that in the notes.
Only Murders In The Building is back with Season 4, split between New York and LA. as a fan, I’ve been amazed by the explosion of amateur video channels discussing every episode. Everyone and their dog seems to be doing it!
Here at Only Easter Eggs in the Building, we’re going to be different. We might not even make another video. But let’s dive into Season 4, Episode 1. As always, we skip the plot and go straight to the Easter Eggs.
The cast visits Sazz’s Hollywood apartment, the Sunset Swan. Fun fact: it’s a real place at 450 N Sycamore—my dog found it right away. Steve Martin mentions the Black Dahlia and Scarlett Johansson both lived there. The Easter egg? Scarlett Johansson actually starred in a movie about the Black Dahlia in 2006.
Now, back to the Borghese building, also famous from Mulholland Drive. Only Murders in the Building mimics a Lynch scene where Steve Martin looks through a keyhole and sees dead flowers.
Next, Meryl Streep’s character, Loretta Durkin, is in Hollywood filming Grey’s New Orleans Family Burn Unit. Does anyone else find that insane? It’s like a producer’s fever dream: Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, New Orleans, family drama, and… a burn unit? Also, Grey’s Anatomy is owned by Disney Television, a big investor in Hulu.
Here’s a musical Easter egg: in the basement at the end of Episode 1, we hear a piano plinking the same note. Composer Siddhartha Khosla said the Murders theme was built on a “plink plink plink” borrowed from the Beach Boys. In this scene, it’s just the plink, by itself.
There are a couple of incomplete Easter eggs, too. Martin Short mentions meeting Robert Evans at Paramount. Evans was head of Paramount in 1966, but we couldn’t find a deeper connection to Martin Short. And at the party, Short says, "Do you know who found the body? Candice Bergen." But we couldn’t connect Bergen to bodies.
Finally, I’ve got a treat for you. I asked Chat GPT to generate script outlines for six episodes of Grey’s New Orleans Family Burn Unit. You can find the link in the description.
And that’s all for today here at Only Easter Eggs in the Building. Stay tuned for the next episode… if there is one. That’s the, uh, cliffhanger.
