There’s a fairly long list of movies that comedically portray the afterlife as a humdrum bureaucratic system with various celestial departments having mailrooms, accounts receivable, janitorial elements, and the like. “Made in Heaven” (1987) depicts a heavenly waystation where souls are processed, and “Soul” (2020), has the afterlife as a cosmic bureaucracy where new souls are prepared for Earth.
