Afroman Returns, Skewers First Son with ‘Hunter Got High’
Some songs get stuck in your head and never want to leave. Take “Because I Got High,” the 2001 smash that introduced Afroman to pop culture. The song proved alternately silly and catchy, a wicked combination that gave the rapper an early taste of fame. Now, Afroman is back, and his new song won’t earn …

Sound of Freedom Act Inspired by Hit Film
Pop culture can move the needle on any number of issues. For “Friends” fanatics, the “Rachel” haircut was all the rage in the 1990s. Sitcoms like “Will & Grace” and “Modern Family” helped pave the way for gay marriage acceptance nationwide. No matter what you think about the Climate Change debate, Al Gore’s 2006 documentary …

‘Bridgerton’ Star Plays Victim, Says Pro-Palestian Views Could Cost Her Work
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 of professional blowback. The Hollywood Blacklist 2.0 is real and it’s oh, so ugly. And the examples go on and on and on … Tell that …

‘Unsung Hero’ Recalls Faith-Based Films of Yore
The Smallbone family has a story tailor-made for the big screen. Scratch that. It’s almost too remarkable to fit on any screen. The Australian clan came to America with little more than a dream to buck music industry odds. Instead, the family produced multiple chart-topping artists, including For King + Country and Rebecca St. James. …

‘Infested’ Will Get Under Your Skin
Spiders are the new sharks. Genre directors can’t get enough of the creepy crawlers. Can you blame them? We’ve all been grossed out by larger-than-expected spiders sneaking into our bedrooms. They drop in like Ethan Hunt in “Mission: Impossible,” dangling overhead on invisible strands. “Infested” is never that demure. It delivers softball-sized spiders and the …

Can Colbert Ignore ‘Genocide Joe’ Chants at DNC?
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 ignores the endless gaffes, senior moments and shocking inflation rates. Not to mention crazed tales of uncles eaten by cannibals. BIDEN: "I made it clear to …

‘Beautiful Girls’ Couldn’t Be Made Today. Here’s Why
There’s a growing list of stories that Hollywood would never tell again. “Blazing Saddles” shoots to mind, but so do “The Producers,” “Soul Man,” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” and “The Toy.” (The last entry, to be fair, makes sense) Add “Beautiful Girls” to that growing list. The 1996 ensemble tells uncomfortable truths …

Bill Maher Agrees with DeSantis: Disney Grooms Children
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 democracy. Yet he simultaneously chats up conservatives on his “Club Random” podcast. That’s not all. Maher often sides with the Right on key culture war issues …

‘Civil War’ – Raw, Original and Utterly Pointless
Alex Garland wasn’t kidding. The writer/director of “Civil War” said his dystopian thriller didn’t take political sides. The film bears that out, focusing entirely on journalists scrambling to cover a country at war with itself. The problem? “Civil War” isn’t action-packed in a traditional, rah-rah sense. Nor does it shed new light on what it …

Netflix’s ‘Rather’ Celebrates Disgraced CBS News Anchor
This is the perfect time for a documentary honoring Dan Rather. Really. We’re watching the collapse of NPR as a trusted news source in real time thanks to Uri Berliner’s withering expose on the far-Left platform. Most mainstream journalists are covering up the fact that the U.S. President is in obvious mental decline. Media outlets …
