Andrew argues studios cancel hits like Roseanne and greenlight flops like Fire Island because the industry is driven by ideology, not just money, leaving a conservative-leaning audience underserved except by outlets like the Daily Wire.
- Most comics don't know their worth; they only know their worth for woke points.
- Netflix lost 80% of its stock price and had to fire hundreds or thousands of people as streamers cut back content.
- America dominated entertainment worldwide for decades with zero competition, but has now fallen off hard.
- When was the last good comedy you saw in a movie theater that made you want to bring all your friends?
- Comedy movies don't work abroad partly because jokes have to be mean and someone has to be the butt of the joke.
- The Daily Wire has made hundreds of millions in subscriptions, proving there's hunger for content that isn't woke.
- ABC cancelled Roseanne after her biggest opening in recent memory, showing it's ideological, not just about money.
- Fire Island is about gay guys who go to the island to do molly and can't have fun because everyone's racist and classist.
- People are tired of movies that exist to teach you a lesson about society's problems.
- Your 40 is phenomenal and brilliant—very gay, thoughtful, and successful.
