OK, I think that this was an Escape Pod story.  All I really remember was that a group of people were creating fake movies and TV episodes of long-dead stars (I'm thinking something along the lines of Abbot & Costello or Charlie Chaplin). 

Does this ring a bell?

Most likely Fenneman's Mouth; that's the one that springs to mind for me.  (And one I was particularly pleased by.  Nicely subtle.)

There was also one way the hell back about a guy who discovers a Blockbuster from another dimension (with movies that failed here making it through development hell there), and then falls in love.

EP105: Impossible Dreams (http://forum.escapeartists.net/index.php?topic=820.0;all)

Edit: Which is still probably my favorite EP.

I forgot to let you guys know that yes, it was Fenneman's Mouth.  Thank you for your help.
