Dispatches from elsewhere soundtrack series#
I’ll go first.”ĭEADLINE: You’ve talked about this series as a more grown-up version of what you did with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, in terms of “baring it all.” In the case of that film, that phrase took on a quite literal meaning.
So, that’s when I felt like the finale was an opportunity to say, “You know this premise of the show that we’ve been selling you, that we’re all in this together? Well, here. So, what I asked myself was, do you mean it? Do you really believe that? And if so, then prove it.
SEGEL: Well, I guess first off, the whole premise of the show is that we are all much more alike than we are led to believe-and if we were willing to be brave and honest with each other, it would be met with a familiar acceptance. How did you decide on the version of yourself you would play, and how honest you would be with that performance? We had basically all of the scripts by the time we got into production, so I was driving towards the finale, all the way from the end of the pilot.ĭEADLINE: In the finale, you bring yourself into the series’ world. It’s so intricate, the way the storylines interweave throughout the season, that there really wasn’t another way to do it, besides having it all pretty firmly planned by the time we started shooting. JASON SEGEL: The whole season was really planned out. Speaking with Deadline ahead of tonight’s broadcast, Segel discussed the inspiration behind the finale, the challenges of crafting his first series, and the prospect of a second season for the AMC anthology.ĭEADLINE: How long have you had the finale for Dispatches in mind? Jason directly addresses the audience-and in the series’ most meta moment yet, the camera pans out to reveal the entire cast and crew who brought Dispatches from Elsewhere to life. The season ends with Jason sitting in a field, surrounded by the series’ key characters, who comment on what they’ve seen. Following confrontations with Simone and the boy in makeup (i.e., his younger self), Jason learns to take responsibility for his life, his choices and his pain, channeling the new perspective into a script called Dispatches from Elsewhere. Setting out to find himself, Jason surrenders to the unknown, learning a couple of fundamental lessons along the way: 1) Neither he nor his pain is unique, and that’s OK and 2) the only thing he needs to know at any given time is what to do next. He is then quickly inducted into the same mysterious game (or social experiment) the series has explored all along. Soon, though, we learn that this isn’t Peter-that the person speaking is Segel, himself.Īfter the meeting, Jason bonds with Simone (Eve Lindley) over his inability to figure out his next move.
At first, we think this is Peter-the character that series creator-star Jason Segel has played throughout Season 1. Subsequently, we transition to a meeting where a familiar face describes his struggles with alcohol, and how lost and empty he feels after being used up by the industry that made him a star.
