Are capitalists monsters? Does making a lot of money require a person act like a “monster” to get there? Showtime’s Billions answered that question with a resounding, expletive-laden “yes” on May 10, in “The Chris Rock Test.” As hedge fund manager Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damian Lewis) faces off with billionaire rival Michael Prince (Corey Stoll) during Prince’s financial annual conference “The Mike…

Amazon Prime’s latest series Upload recently debuted, and unfortunately, it’s nothing less than a big disappointment. Somehow, this sci-fi satire manages to make even the afterlife political. It just goes to show that not even death can stop the social justice warriors on TV.

With about ninety percent of all news being focused on Covid-19, it’s up to shows like CW’s Roswell, New Mexico to take our minds off a pandemic for an hour. Unfortunately, that means focusing on every other political issue under the sun whether we like it or not. And that’s pretty much what happened in the May 4 episode “Say It Ain’t So.”

To many the word Hollywood evokes glamour and dreams of stardom. Perhaps no time in history was that more true than the late 1940s. But the city that birthed silent movies and talkies also had a seedy underbelly. Prostitution rings. Abusive agents, casting directors and motion picture moguls. Mob rackets. Netflix’s new original, Hollywood, which debuted last Friday takes the dirtiest secrets,…

After almost a month of avoiding serious talk about Tara Reade’s significant sexaul assault allegation against Joe Biden, the 47-year-old Charmed actress, Biden supporter, and activist who claims to have sparked the #MeToo movement, finally acknowledged Reade’s plight in an April 29 column for Hollywood outlet Deadline.  

Rather than a battle of the sexes, the latest Mrs. America episode was a battle of the marriages that crowned the radical feminists’ version superior. On one side, conservatives Fred and Phyllis Schlafly’s marriage. On the other, the “equal marriage” between liberals Brenda Feigen Fasteau and Marc Fasteau. Marc (played by Adam Brody) describes their marriage as “forged in the crucible of feminism…

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has proposed a way to discourage Hollywood from profiting off of Communist Chinese propaganda. It’s not news that Hollywood production companies edit and censor their films according to the dictates of the Chinese government.

From the looks of FX’s new adult cartoon based on the antichrist, it seems there’s not much of a shtick for lefty television producers beyond being offensive to Christians. Deadline reported on April 23 that the entertainment television network has given the go-ahead for a pilot episode of potential FX series Little Demon, which stars Danny DeVito, his daughter Lucy DeVito and Aubrey Plaza.  

Remember how awesome it was when everyone’s favorite galaxy far, far away was flooded with PC feminist pandering as soon as Disney bought the Star Wars franchise from George Lucas? Yeah, me neither, but according to Hollywood sources, we haven’t seen the last of it.

Feminist matriarch Betty Friedan may have never actually called Phyllis Schlafly “The real wicked witch of the [women’s] movement,” but that’s certainly how Mrs. America is portraying Schlafly in the new series.

Documentary maker Michael Moore didn’t take too kindly to the President’s “Liberate Michigan!” tweet last week, telling CBS's Late Show host Stephen Colbert that the real “Liberation Day” will happen on election day 2020. The Fahrenheit 11/9 director and Michigan native mocked Trump’s recent “Liberate Michigan!” tweet during the April 21 episode of Colbert's show.

To say we’re going through a difficult time right now is an understatement. But that’s nothing compared to the disaster liberals believe we’re facing from a Donald Trump presidency. In fact, it’s such a disaster that they have to construct an entire miniseries to warn us about it. Just listen to the people behind HBO’s The Plot Against America.

The good news is that CW’s Roswell, New Mexico seems to have moved on from talking about abortion. The bad news is that now it seems comfortable showing alien threesomes. Somehow, this was not the step I was hoping this sci-fi series would take.

The only thing less fun than being stuck in shutdown is being stuck in shutdown with shows like The Blacklist. The latest episode of the NBC drama not only lectures us about gun issues but does so through the mouths of criminals. What else can we expect after the show’s last grisly attempt at addressing political issues?
