We all know how Colbert and co. will vote on Election Day. They’ll rush to the nearest polling place to help President Joe Biden snag a second term. That’s assuming their rhetoric matches the...
Winston Marshall bowed to Cancel Culture for a very silly reason. Or did he? Marshall, then part of the internationally renowned Mumford & Sons, praised journalist Andy Ngo in 2021 for his book �...
Some stars float on a bed of pure adulation. Dolly Parton comes to mind, as do Denzel Washington, Sandra Bullock and Betty White before her passing in 2021. Jerry Seinfeld just got bumped from th...
Hollywood rose up in the days and weeks following the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel. Stars signed open letters decrying Hamas’ ghoulish attack which killed 1,200 people and tortured many more. The d...
Remember comedy? We used to embrace it without reservation, treating comedians like … comedians, not politicians who hold sway over our lives. Tell a bad joke? Move along. Nothing to see here s...
It happened again. Another “old” movie – 20-plus years after its theatrical debut – made serious noise at the box office. Last month, “Spider-Man 2” briefly came in second place at th...

Film critics have plenty on their plate. New studio films. Classic re-releases. Fathom Events titles. Streaming-only originals. Most make a good-hearted effort to review as many titles as possibl...
Stephen Colbert thinks so highly of the radical, oft-violent campus protesters that he chose them over law and order. Not Joe Rogan. The Spotify podcaster, along with guest Tulsi Gabbard, shredde...
Stephen Colbert discovered free speech this week. For years, Colbert either ignored attacks on free expression or even cheered them on. He looked the other way when intrepid journalists revealed ...
The 2016 “Ghostbusters” reboot unofficially kicked off Hollywood’s woke makeover. The industry already had the far-Left movement in mind before the film’s release, but the battles around ...

Kevin Sorbo no longer works in mainstream Hollywood because he’s a Christian conservative. Antonio Sabato, Jr. has a similar story. Other right-leaning stars keep their mouths shut for fear o...
Stephen Colbert is a master at compartmentalization. CBS’s “Late Show” host has spent three-plus years looking the other way as President Joe Biden bumbled through his first term. Colbert i...
Bill Maher simultaneously loathes Donald Trump and finds common ground with the former president’s party. The “Real Time with Bill Maher” host sees Trump as an existential threat to democra...

Andrew Schulz says he didn’t believe the media’s portrayal of San Francisco. Surely a major American city can’t be as filthy and out of control as the updates he sees on his smart phone and...
Alan Ritchson has a funny way of promoting movies. The star behind “Reacher” hits the big screen once more Friday with “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.” The Guy Ritchie romp, loose...
John Cusack is the anti-Michael Rapaport. The two actors see the current Middle East crisis from diametrically opposed positions. Rapaport of “Beautiful Girls” fame is staunchly pro-Israel an...
There’s one reason we still know the name Molly Ringwald 30-plus years after her first burst of fame. John Hughes. Ringwald co-starred in the writer/director’s “The Breakfast Club” (1985)...
This critic spends more time watching YouTube than most streaming platforms. Video podcasts? Check. Cooking videos? Check. Sketch comedy? Check and Check. It’s often hard for Peacock and co. to...
Katherine Maher’s tenure as head of far-Left NPR is off to a rocky start. Maher ascended to the position last month, but two recent events have caused her considerable headaches. And one is all...
Bill Maher doesn’t want comedians canceled for telling the “wrong” joke. He’s made that clear on both his “Club Random” podcast and HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” Few entert...

John Cleese is the master of both silly walks and sublime comedy takes. The Monty Python veteran is as feisty as ever at 84, slashing those attempting to crush comedy that breaks any kind of so-c...
There’s a good reason movie studios can’t stop making sequels to popular films. Return on Investment. Or, at the very least, they’re less risky than original stories. Just ask the minds beh...
It’s increasingly clear we’re not allowed to share select thoughts in public. We saw that with Hunter Biden’s laptop and contrarian views about the pandemic. The Twitter Files exposed how b...
Brad Skistimas, AKA Five Times August, is a musician growing a niche fan base with songs including “God Help Us All,” “I Will Not Be Leaving Quietly,” and “Silent War.” His latest rel...
Late-night television changed forever after Donald Trump descended that escalator in 2015. The left-leaning format abandoned all pretense of objectivity, turning their hosts into DNC shills. Fox ...

Larry David is liberal to the core, but he’s not a Leftist. There’s a difference. The genius behind both “Seinfeld” and HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” may loathe Donald Trump, but he ...
The truth is coming out about DEI. Finally. The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion movement has had quite a run, infiltrating corporate America, academia, the media and more. Now, powerful voices a...
Few films have stirred the cultural pot quite like “Civil War.” The April 12 release envisions a near-future America at war with itself. Kirsten Dunst leads an ensemble cast including “Park...
Jimmy Fallon is considered the least political talk show host on the late-night scene. Think again. “The Tonight Show” host isn’t as partisan as his peers, at least on paper. He still provi...
Once upon a time Jon Stewart regularly schooled CNN. “The Daily Show” host even appeared on the channel to say its partisan slugfest, “Crossfire,” was bad for the country. Now, he spends ...
Entertainment journalists love it when stars get political. Those stories generate clicks and traffic. The more emotionally charged the rhetoric, the better. Just Google “Robert De Niro, Donald...
$70 million. Maybe more. That’s how much the 2016 “Ghostbusters” reboot reportedly cost Sony. The woke comedy cast four female Ghostbusters to replace the four male characters. The film’s...
Court jesters risked their necks to mock their masters. These cutups made royalty howl, but they also faced blowback for delivering the wrong message or gag. Gulp. That’s rarely the case with S...
Hollywood bows down to China early and often. Remember how the 2012 “Red Dawn” remake changed the story’s enemy from China to North Korea? What about when 2013’s “World War Z” tweaked...
Director Martin Scorsese is no stranger to Cancel Culture. The Oscar winner felt its sting years before the term appeared in pop culture circles. His 1997 movie “Kundun,” detailing the life...
Sage Steele learned the Gina Carano lesson the hard way. Carano got fired by Disney for not toeing the woke progressive line on social media. Steele, a fixture at Disney-owned ESPN since 2007, al...
