The Winchesters go undercover as production assistants (PAs) on a haunted movie set after getting wind of reports of tag teaming ghosts. The brothers deal with an asinine studio executive out to make cheap marketing stunts(guest star Gary Cole), a disenfranchised screenwriter seeking revenge for unnecessary revisions to a formally great script, and Dean's fan-boyish feelings for the leading lady. —Derfel85

Trivia
In the beginning of "Hollywood Babylon," the Winchesters are on a tour of Hollywood. The tour guide says that they are passing the place where Gilmore Girls (2000) is filmed, and if they're lucky they might get to see one of the stars. Jared Padalecki, who plays Sam Winchester, had a starring role on Gilmore Girls (2000), playing a character named Dean Forester. At this point, Sam Winchester looks uncomfortable and quickly leaves the tour bus.

Goofs
At the end after Dean leaves Tara's trailer and he and Sam walk away, Tara is standing in the doorway and goes back into the trailer. In the next shot, she is still standing in the doorway.

Quotes
Dean Winchester: What's a P.A.?
Sam Winchester: I think it's kinda like a slave.

Amazing episode, both funny, and self-reflective, and an opportunity to poke fun of the executive producer, McG. I love the references, and little jabs to pick up about the horror genre, and film in general, including the walk off into the sunset at the end. Also, the reference to Gilmore Girls was funny.
