As the film industry struggles with all-time low box office performances, can conservatives step up to the challenge and make Hollywood great again?

Screenwriter and American Spectator columnist Lou Aguilar joins The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay to discuss Hollywood’s poor decision to focus on woke messaging rather than quality storytelling. They discuss films and shows that have been ruined by DEI, such as Robin Hood, The Witcher, The Wheel of Time, Tron: Ares, and The Lord of the Rings. They also express the need for a revival of idealized storylines in film rather than cynical ones. Tune in to hear their discussion – and don’t forget to pick up Scott’s latest novel Blockbusters, which directly covers just the reforms this Spectacle episode discusses, at Amazon!
