I'm seeing a lot of comments about True Grit. The reason I didn't mention it when talking about female-led Westerns was because I was only talking about the ones I've seen.
I remember Gallo being angry on Roger Ebert scathing review on Brown Bunny, and said that Ebert was fat. Ebert just said, "Someday I will be thin, but Vincent Gallo will always be the director of The Brown Bunny."
That Ben Shapiro clip talking about how Hollywood's strong female characters are just women meatheads that can punch men through walls. All I can think about is how that just describes 90 percent of Gina Carano's previous characters.
And the opposite direction of the woman meathead is that every female action hero also is willing to have sex with a man or woman because "she's willing to do anything" I'd like to see them try that with a male action hero who is willing have a gay sex scene where he's having anal sex with another man.
"Prove you're a blonde haired blue eyed white girl and I'll give you a 5% discount on my sperm" is one of the most deranged incelbrained things I've heard in a minute.
That one dudes rant about how "If you're a conservative, know that every song show and article in the mainstream is made by people who hate you" is kinda sad to me. An entire segment of the population being gaslit into thinking that everyone is out to get them and the only one who cares about them is the site run by an oil tycoon. Its the abusive isolating spouse tactic for politics and its genuinely makes me feel bad for people in this pipeline.
It's literally the way cults are formed. "I have all the answers, I care about you. Everyone else is wrong, and lying, and hates you. And if they try to convince you otherwise, it's only because they want to hurt you." They're garlic salesman convincing people vampires are real.
@@ddjsoyenby Sorry to hear that. If you don't mind, can you share more of your experiences, and some insight into what led you into and out of that mindset? It might help others. If you're not comfortable sharing, that's okay, too. Hope you're doing well!
Fun fact. In Gina Caranos first film Haywire they actually dubbed her voice. They didn't think she did very well with voice acting so they got someone else to speak for her.
Wow you learn something new every day. I thought she was an absolute sex pot in that movie, but knowing that her voice was dubbed changes things a little😆
@Maxx Rice She's basically hired because it's easier to get a fighter to act than to get an actor to fight. You see the same thing used a lot in film musicals; getting dancers and singers to act rather than getting actors to sing and dance. However since those three have a much longer history of being overlapping skills than acting and fighting it usually gets better results: for instance dancer Moira Shearer's first straight acting gig was in Powell and Pressburger's The Red Shoes, and it's widely regarded as one of the best performances put to screen in one of the greatest films ever made.
So Caranos normal person character can just pick up a gun and inexplicably start kicking loads of ass. Isn't that the exact same complaint they have about Rey Palpatine?
The Daily Wire needs a horror film about a big city in the urban north replacing all of their bathroom signs indicating that they're all gender neutral now. The main characters desperately search for respite from their inability to pee because they refuse to degrade themselves in the woke toilet mob. The twist ending comes when they manage to meet a kindly old lady who offers them the use of her bathroom. Just when they think they can finally relieve themselves, they discover that the conspiracy has gone so far that even private citizens have allowed the madness of non-segregated bathrooms in their own homes. The absolute terror!
I feel like no one in this thread has ever been in a sketchy bar, train/bus station, or even a sports stadium bathroom during the game. As a woman, who's been sexually assaulted and knows that there are men who will lie about whether or not they're trans if it means they get into a space where people are vulnerable...I kinda like the idea of there being a space where someone with the opposite set of genitalia can't enter without at least raising a few eyebrows. I'm all for equal rights, but not at the expense of my safety. As someone who can get pregnant if they're r*ped, and who's physically weaker than most people who have a d*ck...I think I deserve to take up space just as much as anyone else.
Ben is like: "The left always want strong female character to be bare knuckle Boxers who can throw you through a wall." "Anyway my female character is played by Gina Carano."
When Gina Carano got fired from Mando, literally the first thing that went through my mind was "I bet she's gonna try doing like Daily Wire movies or conservative propaganda on like Prager U." I don't like that I was right.
I think Gina Carrano is the type of actor like many wrestlers are. They cannot just act by themselves, but if a director knows what to do with them, they work wonders.
More like a competent wrestler. British Bulldog vs Bret Hart at summerslam 92, Bulldog forgot most of the script, so Bret had to carry the entire match, and considering the quality, it's insane how he pull it off
I agree with this except for The Rock and John Cena, both of them have too many great roles for me to give all the credit to the director. They've both got so much charm and talent
@@tristankennedy9673 I'm not giving all the credit to the director. But if you look at John Cena in The Marine or The Rock in the role of the Scorpion King, the director weren't utilizing their presence and charm, and they aren't good at acting as actors are taught to act. They cannot turn on acting like a professional actor, but they can bring their charm and presence to the table which the director has to utilize. Just like in cinema verite or Italian neorealism, they are natural actors who have to be utilized correctly, they aren't professional actors who can just put on a proverbial mask at the drop of a hat.
I remember getting an ad on UA-cam for The Hyperions, and it absolutely broke my heart to see Cary Elwes attached to the DailyWire. I can’t tell you how much it improved my day to learn that their involvement came well after it was made
I will always remember Vincent Gallo for the spat he had with Roger Ebert over The Brown Bunny. To give you an idea of their relative values as a person, after Gallo re-edited the movie, Ebert actually gave it a positive review. After Ebert died, Gallo claimed he hadn't done any actual edits and that Ebert was simply lying about one or both reviews or had been too lazy to actually pay attention. It's one thing to carry a grudge to the end. It's quite another to turn around and slander another person and lie about the dispute after they are dead when they were generous enough to be conciliatory and grant another person the benefit of the doubt when it came to the result of their work.
@@horusreloaded6387 I would probably need that expanded a bit more. I recall the review being relatively positive, and I suspect he might have been sympathetic to a protagonist having yearnings for a teenage girl, but beyond that, my memory is a little fuzzy
On all the ads I have seen for this movie on Reddit the tagline is always "let the un-canceling begin" which really seems like even they can't find anything good to say about their movie, so they have to make it political.
Which is an odd approach to make seeing as I keep hearing the people complaining the most about cancel culture also demanding that poltics be kept out of entertainment
@@bigbearkat2010 For the right, politics is when women, gender and people of color. Anything else isn't political, even when it fits every known definition of political content.
@@ararepotato1420 Saw a tweet recently (verbatim): What isn't political in video games: -Mass survelience -Genocide -Overthrowing governments -Dystopias What is political in video games: -women -gay
The crowd reacting to the image of Jordan Balthazar Peterson as though it were Kevin Feige announcing a new Avengers movie is so funny it doesn't feel real
There are a couple of horror stories they can pick from- one is a Harlan Ellison story called Croatoan about a guy who goes into the sewers to find an aborted fetus and finds an urban legend world of fetuses and alligators. Daddy's home. Another is Buckets by F. Paul Wilson where an abortion doctor is visited on Halloween by kids no one has ever seen...holding metal buckets filled with red liquid.
daily wire i will make you a movie about fetuses becoming zombies and going after pro choicers.............in exchange for all of bens money.......and i get to sl@p matt walsh once.
My parents have practically begged me to watch their movies claiming they’re “not political” and “amazing as standalone films” and I was extremely disappointed. My mom loves Ben and my dad loves Jordan Peterson so I wasn’t exactly surprised, just sad.
oof thats just shitty at least my dad is just a boring old regular republican and he doesn't even vote because in the distant past if you voted that was an easy way for them to choose you for jury duty lol
I’m just hoping my folks continue not to discover them. With their further slipping down the alt-right rabbit hole already, they don’t need any more help.
You need to educate yourself a little better. The “run, hide, fight” concept has been so poorly bastardized by the public school system that it’s completely useless. Run means run away, not run to your hiding spot. That’s Hide.
@@kentjohnson26 I'm talking about the Ben Shapiro film "Run Hide Fight" where a girl gets caught in a school shooting and escapes, but instead decides to go back inside because she got a gun and then proceeds to kill all the shooters through the power of plot armor and deus ex machina. I wouldn't mind a straight action movie, but Shapiro clearly thinks that guns make you invincible.
@@teopalafox Then maybe you shouldn't make action movies out of school shootings, because they're horrific violent tragedies that shouldn't be glorified. Least of all by having the protagonist make decisions that would get any kid killed in an actual shooting.
I felt like the transition between the smaller discussion about the streaming service to the much larger discussion of the daily wire as a company flowed really well!
I don't think that's true to be honest? It becomes true when a person, regardless of what their politics are, makes their politics their whole thing, their personality basically. A good storyteller (any good entertainer or artist) usually wants to create a good story, not go "check mate lefties" or "we're gonna be so cancelled after this", something SMN explores in the conservative comedy video. But that's also true for some very publicly liberal/left-leaning comic book writers, they put their agenda first and create stories that feel like first draft and heavily suffer from Perfect Character Syndrome protagonists.
As someone who liked Gina Carano back when I only knew her for her MMA career (she was awesome until she got absolutely wrecked by Cyborg) and the American Gladiators reboot, and enjoyed her in the Mandalorian, I was sad to see her behave in such an ignorant way, hurt others, and shoot her own career in the foot. But her entire persona is built around doing action movie cliche badassery. It is not in her wheelhouse to do nuance on screen. Regardless of her poor political opinions, she should not be the emotional anchor of a movie.
Yeah I thought she had a lot of potential to be a major female action star, including saying she would have made more sense as Wonder Woman because...I mean yeah, obviously, but then it turned out she's a shithead so good riddance.
Some More News does a great breakdown of right-wing comedy... They have one joke about "I identify as" and the rest is just supposed satire... but satire is supposed to be making fun of the thing being satirically presented... so it's not satire, it's just being deliberately hateful/bigoted/pick your hateful rhetoric in a "goofy" way to trigger the left and the joke is "ha ha the left is triggered". So that lines up perfectly with what that weird actor, who burnt is career to the ground, would consider "satire".
@@woobiefuntime it seems to be in line with the current crop of right-wing comedy.. most of the good ones (I am thinking blue-collar comedy tour, Kelsey Grammar ect... ) have effectively said "I don't want to be a part of this" and walked away. Either that or they are just not being booked for their material because it isn't "Ha ha libs are triggered".
@@woobiefuntime right wing "comedy" these days is just right wing politics in funny voices. Kinda like how right wing religion is just right wing politics practiced in a church. This is because conservatives are cultural leeches, they're incapable of making anything for themselves so they create identity out of destroying or decaying things other people made. Comedy, religions, governments, etc.
@@adam346 It’s indicative of a growing split in the GOP between moderate conservatives and the Trumpists And to paraphrase a great Republican leader who’d be disgusted by the modern party “a house divided against itself cannot stand. I do not believe the GOP can continue half-sane and half-MAGA. They must either become all one or all the other, lest the house shall collapse upon itself.”
One thing I don't understand is, why the obfuscation? Why the pretense that The Daily Wire has no political aims? I understand that they present themselves as news-focused and that entertainment is a relatively new venture for them, but it seems their audience actively appreciates filmmakers' catering to conservatives, and it's not like their claims of neutrality fool anyone anyway. It's as if public conservatism fosters a pathological impulse to lie, even when it generates no advantage whatsoever.
The right like to say "keep politics out of my entertainment" to them it only counts as having politics in entertainment If its left wing politics like treating people with respect
think its a mode of thinking like their politics isn't politics to them its right way of thinking while anything that isn't their way of thinking is politics and is labeled bad or left also they are pulling on a culture that proudly state they are not political might deeply confuse or turn them off if they say they are political
The right-wing like to believe that their media is objective. Consider that for years the catch phrase for Fox News was "We report. You decide." despite the fact that they had an explicit right-wing bias. A lot of conservatives's identity is tied up in the myth that their positions are based in objective truth rather than ideological bias, and that's why they're better than "the left," whose positions are all based in ideology. It's...wild. Absolutely wild.
That DailyWire+ program is exactly the type of shit you'd subscribe to as a person who wants to have no fun and just see their twisted political stances reiterated and regurgitated time and time again. Do they honestly expect me to believe that anyone of their audience will sit there like "Omg yes, the new Gina Carano banger!" and watch it out of a love for the actress' work or the director's ideas or the movie's ingenuity? Nah, they're just excited to hear some lame Right Wing talking points regurgitated to them. I give it two years before every movie on that platform is basically just a collage of the most unfunny "Let's Go Brandon" type memes out there. And that's what they're subbing to, lmao. Meanwhile I, a true intellectual, subscribe to Netflix because I wanna see the Stranger Things children fight a fleshy muppet, and I subscribe to Disney, because I want to see the Star Wars man doing backflips and whooshing noises.
It's weird because their proposition of value, at least as they state it, it's to be a entertainment production company free from promoting any political agenda, while basically the exact opposite. And it's weird because I thought no one actually likes interacting with political topics in absolutely every media they consume, but that's exactly what they offer. Who in their sane mind would pay for this? It sounds miserable. Some times it's god to use media for escapism, like the star wars people doing backflips and stuff
I think that what they probably WANTED from Terror on the Prairie and their other movies was a broad-appeal movie that gets a broad audience in the door, who then goes 'well I've already paid, might as well see what else is on' and listen to them with a bit more of a positive bent because they already gave them something they liked. That's an approach that worked better in a context like TV channels; you produce a big-deal show people make the relatively small effort to tune into, they actually are likely to watch whatever you put on after it, provided no other interruptions, because there's no further action required. On streaming you're gonna need something that hits like a goddamn truck to even get people to look in your direction, and even then it's probably not gonna work.
@@EinDose Especially if you have no preexisting IPs to act as a hook to get people in the door. Disney has MCU, Star Wars, Pixar, and THE REST OF FUCKING DISNEY. Paramount has Star Trek, Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, and plenty of other things. HBO has The Sopranos, Succession, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, the list goes on. Even services with no major media company attached to them have tentpole, must see originals that they use as hooks: AppleTV had Severance, Netflix still has Bojack Horseman, you get the idea. What does the Daily Wire have to win people over who aren't already won over to Ben Shapiro and Benzo Peterson?
And unsurprisingly, like many American nonsense, the “red scare” was probably less than 1% of the population at the time and America will never get over it.
Mind you the older generations did grow up during those times so I wouldn't say it's surprising that (while not all obviously because no group is a monolith) quite alot of them have that ingrained in them. Still not a excuse though because anyone can change
Gina Carano ruined her career because she wouldn't stop posting ridiculous BS even when her bosses told her to tone it down. And as you said, it wasn't because corporations are "woke", it is because her comments were turning people off which affected their bottom line. (It's always about the money!) Hell she was about to get her own show but she blew it so now she has to do movies for The Daily Wire because no one else wants her. I have zero pity for her and I hope she thinks it was worth it.
One thing I've noticed that conservatives seem wistful about is the desire to go back to when movies "didn't have an agenda" and it seems they view the western genre as this. Of.course westerns DID have an agenda and moat had some kind of message, nuance, and even politics which is why terror on the prairie seems so soulless. It's a creation by someone who doesn't understand creation. A facsimile of westerns that doesn't GET westerns
Yep. A 30-40 year arc that even involved the deconstruction of tropes and many other variants by the end, as well as just being the 'scene' through which many other stories were re-written. Can't wait for the superhero genre to similarly pass out of culture :p
Westerns glorified white settler expansion into the western U.S. If Native Americans were portrayed, they were often the bad guys. Most Westerns had this agenda ever since they first started coming out in the early days of silent films. There’s very little that’s neutral. Somethings in different movie genres become accepted as convention, but they make social and political statements, as much as “woke” trends today, by the types of people they caste as leading men and leading ladies.
@@gene108 for sure. I often ponder the modern genres and their relation to unrestrained use of the USA's global military... On the westerns; near the end you had gems like 'dances with wolves'... while it falls into the 'white savior' schtick, its still leagues beyond most of the work in its genre. I think its also notable that there are a lot of directors in the format who left the native folk out of their stories entirely, for good or ill. For some, perhaps a conscious choice to move the genre away from its generic tropes.
The classic Hollywood westerns did have an agenda, but it was a very confused one. The characters wanted to both "civilize" the West and be made tougher by its savagery. They wanted to protect society, but with vigilante justice that itself was borderline criminal. They wanted to be able to go out and be macho - and even kill - but then come home to a sweet homemaker in a corset and petticoats who would spoil them with hot food and gentle sympathy (plus, of course, a little booze and a few saloon girls on the side). They wanted an idealized (for them) world that simply could not be.
It’s almost Greek tragedy levels of sad seeing the bones of a good movie buried under all the shitty acting, weird writing, blah story, and tone deaf right wing outrage marketing that ended up being about as successful as if they hadn’t tried at all.
It would be tragedy if this wasn't being done by bad people and was just a result of technical ineptitude. The inherently compelling and pulpariffic plot of Plan 9 From Outer Space (aliens causing a zombie apocalypse to prevent humanity from developing a weapon that would destroy the entire galaxy) being wasted by the no-budget, no talent cast and crew assembled by Ed Wood is tragic. This is just what Benny and company deserve.
@SubArc Adventures Benny has enough money to keep his victims quiet without us giving him any more. His daughters will write their tell-alls soon enough and we'll all find out that his biopic will be less this and more "A Serbian Film"
@SubArc Adventures I'm saying I'm not giving a hackfuck shitstain like Ben Shapiro my money because he'll only use it for bad things. People like Benny and crap like the stuf he inflicts on the world is why piracy exists. If I want to hear a maladjusted manlet with a single digit IQ complain about how the woke brigade and feminism stole his balls by taking Toddlers and Tiaras off the air I can do that without paying to enable more of it.
I love how the right constantly says woke as if it's something the left says all the time, but I haven't heard people in the left say it that often (as least not nearly as often as the right).
It peaked in unironic use circa 2015 with the Freddie Gray protests, but as with most slang kinda went out of style and even on the left is mostly used mockingly now.
@@gentlerat "The Oxford English Dictionary traces the original such usage to a 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled "If You're Woke You Dig It" by African-American novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of Black slang by white beatniks." It's... it's just so poetic...
It came back in favour around 2013-15, used by BLM, it then was mocked and then dropped. Its basically used to describe people who see racism, sexism, transphobia etc everywhere and want to cancel music, books, and other things they deem problematic, little tyrants essentially
There was a female lead Western a few years ago called "Jane Got a Gun" with Natalie Portman. It sounded fairly similar to this movie, but with a different reason for her having to protect her home from some bad guys and it was ok at best. Even though she's young in it, I think "True Grit" (at least the 2010 remake) had a decent female lead in Hailee Steinfeld. Edit: Whoops didn't see the comment from Jose about True Grit. As far as the NYT best seller list, most of the conservative books that get on the list will have a funny symbol next to the books name. This symbol means that the majority of sales came from a small group. For example, if 5 different companies bought 1000 copies each the week it comes out, it might get on the list (I have no idea how many copies sold it takes), but it would have the symbol next to the books title.
Jane Got a Gun had a pretty troubled production history, with several cast and director changes. I usually enjoy Natalie Porman in movies and I thought it looked good but I couldn't really get into it.
Still waiting on Ben doing a cameo in one of his dumb movies. He could have been the debate club teacher in run, hide fight and he gets shoved into a locker.
Yep even pureflix has their obligatory cameos of characters that make them at least having some easter eggs?! And tries keeping bmovies alive. And funny bad movies.
@@marocat4749 I only know about PureFlix because of a woefully inaccurate biopic of Columbine victim Rachel Scott titled "I'm Not Ashamed." This movie was panned by critics and lambasted by the public. In fact; the family of Rachel Scott has been accused of selling Rachel's life story to movie producers and publishing agencies to make a quick buck and push a message of Evangelical Christianity, the same accusations leveled at the family of fellow Columbine victim Cassie Bernall. While I do have immense amounts of sympathy for the families of the victims of the tragedy at Columbine High School and find it inspiring of Rachel's mother Beth Nimmo choosing to not only forgive but also meet with Dylan's mother Sue Klebold; I don't condone the Scott and Bernall families for choosing to sell the life stories of their daughters to movie producers and publishing agencies to make a quick buck. Naturally; the Scott and Bernall families have denied such allegations and call the people who have criticized their decision as liars and nonbelievers. Can you imagine the amount of hot water PureFlix would end up in if they decided to make an anime style movie on the March 11th, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan?
It's similar to the big stink in the UK over Jeremy Clarkson being fired from Top Gear. Technically, the BBC didn't renew his contract after he assaulted a producer, a last straw in a line of controversies. These kinds of people suffer the consequences of their actions, and it really isn't a big deal, but the public has a hangup about famous people facing consequences.
Yep she even was bribed with her own show if she can be stop that online, thats not firing, and its apearentl known yoz behave in that renewal phase, and she was warned, several times She has no one to blame but herself.
Ben couldn’t cut in in real Hollywood so he’s making his own Hollywood with fossil fuel money. That’s truly pathetic. This has deep “oh yeah, well I’ll start my own movie studio. With blackjack, and hookers” energy.
The Ballad of Little Jo is a western not only starring a female character, but also directed by a woman. It's also an interesting film in relation to trans awareness, because it depicts a young woman who decides to "disguise herself" as a man to survive.
@@ObiJohnKenobi67 You know what, my last response was a bit too cheeky. Allow me to clarify what I'm trying to say here. Although it is not a trans character, it is a character that trans viewers may have (I would argue almost undoubtedly) related with and helped them to realize something about themselves they never knew. I've known trans people for whom their discovery was tied to characters as strange as Leatherface and as problematic as the trans people Maury Povich would always parade onto his show. Whether the film or its story were about an actual trans person, or was intended to be about a trans person in the wild west, or it just so happened that the story featured a female character who dressed and acted like a man for her protection and that sounds extremely egg-like just by sheer unintended circumstance, the fact is that this is one of those films that almost certainly has resonated with trans communities and it absolutely can be read that way, even if you don't want to read it that way. Critical theory, particularly postmodern critical theory, suggests that if you can come up with an argument for your reading of a book/film/artwork that has evidence to back it up, your critical reading of that work is just as valid as any other critical reading of it. So you can say I'm wrong all you want, but....the evidence is there...it's just as valid a theory as any other reading of the film. You don't have to like or agree with my reading of it, but unless you plan to prove it wrong with some kind of evidence, you can't say I'm wrong. :) :) :) :)
Gina Carano's accent work is actually spot on. What happened is the St Louis accent of 1870 or so is now considered the neutral American accent. It happened as a sort of compromise between a bunch of regional accents in the early 20th century.
@@NucularRobit She didn’t, they mean that what would be recognized as a “St. Louis accent” at that time sounds pretty close to modern “Standard” American English, it doesn’t sound like an accent to us because it’s so close to how most people already sound.
I'm honestly curious where this obviously weird disconnect will lead with Gina Carano being one of the more popular persona non gratas in the industry who shares DW beliefs and basically needs to work for them, and DW obviously pushing for these absurdly limiting ideas for gender roles. Will it end up being the case that Carano will be an action star for the deeply Conservative Alt-Right audience and they'll doublethink their way through Big Muscle Lady not fitting their tradwife idea, or will the DW start to give much more traditional, meek roles to Carano and she has to bite that bullet and become a demure on-screen tradwife in a few years who will have little to no starpower of her own as she's just the side piece to a male actor in some shitty C-Movie.
@@warlordofbritannia I thought the Carano Effect was when a performer had their lines rerecord by a voice actor because they can't act for shit, as used by Stephen Soderbergh with Carano in his movie Haywire.
It might be generous to say that she will be in C-Movies. I think that this Western movie being reviewed can barely be considered a D-Movie despite whatever budget they had. If she didn't run off to the Daily Wire, she could have been featured in a few recent movies from the Asylum Films.
Yeah I hear you. Full disclosure I haven't gotten around to watching Mandalorian yet but back when she did Haywire, I didn't think much of her as an actress but was interested in seeing her do more as an action star.
@@bigbearkat2010 She's decent in Mandolorian IMO Saw Haywire 1 or 2 years ago and her acting in that is pretty awful from what I remember but action wise she was very good, her MMA background helped a lot with that I think

27:20 For anyone who might care, it's specifically the people who made the Netflix Veggietales. The original creator Phil Vischer is not attached to it.
I gotta really recommend The Wind from 2018. It's definitely a horror/western hybrid, but I think is well worth checking out, especially as it follows one woman for almost the entire runtime, and deals with woman's work on the prairie, isolation, and specifically plains state superstitions. I really liked it!
In the last couple of years, the conservative movement has been pushing really hard in generating their own platforms where they can share their views relatively unchallenged and unmoderated. Despite the content of many of these opinions, I do think market fragmentation is good to fight the current media monopolies. However, these conservative efforts have also pushed towards creating cult-like ideological bubbles that is awful for general public discord and generates further anti-social practices and isolation that often lead to depression.
Your complete lack of mentioning Hollywood’s agenda shows your bias. They constantly have a message that MUST include LGBTQLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ rights, social justice warrior crap, anti-bullying, transgender ideology, and any other leftist nonsense that’s trendy. They don’t even care about making good movies anymore.
Yo, I listened to an AM station at work today and it was nothing but right wing propaganda with a sprinkle of kind Christian phrases. Absolutely sickening.
And these are exactly the same people who will rant about how liberals & left-wingers live in bubbles and how they just "wanna hear what the other side has to say." 🙄
@@donovanlocust1106 We do, but they are for the most part isolated on fringe areas of media and politics(rag newspapers, and "family-owned" blogs). Though in 2012 we did have our own Neo-Nazi party(Golden Dawn) winning some seats in parliament(due to a dire economic situation) and their behavior and antics(physically assaulting immigrants and smashing their kiosks in broad daylight) became much more visible in the media, to the point where it lead to the death of a person because he criticized them. At the time, our conservative leaning government launched an entire prosecution against said party for their crimes(which took disgustingly long, and it was allegedly because they were stealing votes from them and not because they cared that a citizen was killed), which lead to the party declared a criminal organization and its entire leadership jailed.
I wish American conservatives were more like European conservatives, there are many European conservatives that at least believe in healthcare for all.
The first name only, "Candace," with the graphic "O" for Owens, seems to me to be an attempt at setting her up as their answer to Oprah's first name only branding. I figure the psuedo-talk show setting of her show is meant to add to this impression.
What I find so amazing is this film, which is meant to be a vehicle for Gina, suffers solely because Gina is the lead. She is utterly miscast for the role. I am reminded of Steven Spielberg's comment about why he refused to cast Charlton Heston in Jaws: When you see your lead is Heston you know he's going to survive and save the day. Not a single person looks at Gina and thinks "Oh look, a meek housewife that might actually be in danger and will have to learn to be strong". Everyone knew it was built for her being a badass. The same with the next movie she's supposed to be in. Does ANYONE believe that Gina is a wife who is stalked by some crazy man and will be frightened at all by them? Of course not. You just look at her and know she's the woman that threatens to kill a cashier because they won't accept her expired coupon.
I expected a lightly browned roasting of a racist actress who got caught being racist, starring in a film that is proudly funded by racists. What I got was a glimpse down a rabbit hole of maddening proportions via an alt-right streaming platform and their bonkers business practices. My god. This is amazing. Keep it up, José!
@Dreaming Carano’s tweet was about how conservatives get ‘attacked’ for their opinions, I.E. racists crying that they can’t be openly racist anymore. Pascal’s tweet was about how ICE lock up children. While Pascal’s comparison was clumsy, it was nowhere near the level of disgustingly bad taste as Carano’s.
@Dreaming Pascals Tweet comparing kids being held in detention centers to Jewish kids in concentration camps have been echoed by some Jewish Holocaust survivors themselves. Carrano compared her own situation as a conservative to being a persecuted Jew in the Holocaust. Not the same at all.
@@Chris-ht5tj What she actually said was that Nazis didn’t start with camps, they started by dehumanizing Jews the same way Hollywood has been portraying anyone on the right as evil and how people online were starting to say we should put conservatives in the ground. Now how you feel about that statement is up to you I just don’t like how others who replied didn’t bother explaining what she said and just gave their opinion instead of just leaving it to you. Hope that helps.
@@alejandrocervantes3624 it's a stupid childish way of saying "Fuck Joe Biden" which was first said during an interview with a Nascar driver named Brandon by the reporter to cover up that f-bomb
@@alejandrocervantes3624 it’s a really dead, tired meme used by conservatives. It originated from a NASCAR interview with a driver who commented, mistakenly, that the crowd was chanting “let’s go Brandon!” when they were actually chanting “f#@k Joe Biden”, the interviewee had misheard the chant. It was then seized upon by the right as a childish, tired means of say “f#@k Joe Biden” without ACTUALLY saying it and, my gawd, did they run it into the f#@king ground!
I feel like if you counted "Meek's Cutoff" as a female-led western then "True Grit" deserved at least an honorable mention. (I've only seen the Coen Brothers remake so I'm only talking about that version) While Bridges, Damon and Brolin are obviously the major draw of the movie, Steinfeld's character is 100% the protagonist of the story from who's eyes the film is told and who we follow throughout.
With the Gina Carano thing, I remember hearing that it wasn't the social medi post that got her dropped by disney, but some internal disputes within production, and she just used the social media post to jump ship and state that disney was anti free speech or something
I can believe that. She seemed to lean into the "cancel culture" angle pretty hard and seemed to have her deal with Daily Wire lined up pretty quickly after Disney let her go
@@connorbeith3232 The thing to consider about that is that the winds are actually changing on trans acceptance. Since 2017 the net acceptance of trans people - statements like 'a transwo/man is a wo/man' or 'gender and sex are separate' - has been trending down. Even among young people, acceptance is falling and has been for years, and in the coming years might fall below 50%. Companies _will_ jump ship if they believe - perhaps even correctly - that trans acceptance is an unpopular position. So expect more open transphobia to become the norm.
Calling it now, the sole reason Daily Wire+ was founded so that Ben Shapiro can finally adapt all his terrible screenplays that were rejected by Hollywood for being -badly written C movie schlock filled of far right propaganda- "Not woke enough to earn at least 8 figures at the box office".

Gina Carano's is such a weird and sad story. I remember when she first appeared in The Mandalorian and everyone on tumblr was thirsting over "big muscle mommy" and whatnot. People loved her character. Then she flew her true colors and everyone felt angry and probably a little embarrassed. And instead of trying to win that audience back she leaned hard into her "persecution" and has gone full Jon Voigt. Shame, really
For those not in-the-know, Vincent Gallo was born into a family of obscene old wealth and showbiz connections, but somewhat on the outer edges of that family-I forget now exactly who he’s related to, and his Wikipedia page seems to have been scrubbed of any mention of his family’s elite standing, but I think it may be Anjelica Huston who’s his mom’s cousin, and his grandparents own a famous gallery, something like that, plus there are other old money connections-so as a young man he grew up coddled in NYC’s late-20th century “It” scene, basically a bunch of young unemployed Upper East Side-ers slumming it around Chelsea with the Soho crowd. He famously had some kind of vintage European sports car, and would drive around making sure everyone saw him, stopping to pester people for money or for modeling gigs. Then, as do most sheltered dilettantes, he decided to go into movies … and surprisingly, he struck gold once with _Buffalo ‘66._ (Although in truth Christina Ricci carries that movie.) Aaaand … that’s it: he peaked in his 30s. He was always little more than a lucky drugged-out kid, and those people often age poorly: what was cute when you were a kid is just embarrassing in your 60s … and that’s all he is now, is a deeply unpleasant drug addict. Everything he’s doing now can be explained by his upbringing: he never had to work, people always sucked up to him for his connections, and he always had money. So now he’s just an old unpleasant drug addict living in a bubble.
This was a pretty thoughtful and well-crafted video. I was particularly impressed by the part where you methodically deconstructed TDW's claims of being the most engaged publisher in the world, and provided multiple alternative narratives with data to back them up. It's nice to see this kind of rigorous, even-handed, empirically-backed discourse on youtube. Thanks for fighting the good fight.

Look at any country literally ever, and regardless of where or what they believe, and you'll find those who are willing to lie to advance their career (especially evident in countries with bigger governments, think USSR, CCP, Germany, Canada, USA).

Honestly, of the daily wire denizens, I feel like Matt Walsh is the “creator” that concerns me more than these daily wire movies. His documentary and “children’s book” especially are ways for him to try and brainwash younger generations
@@kentjohnson26 Ah yes, the extremely edited truth involving tricking transgender people into being in a transphobic documentary by saying it's actually about accepting transgender people. And the very very sound analogy of a boy pretending to be a walrus for playtime and his mother overreacting because of the internet, when in reality most transgender youth have to fight their parents to even be called their name.
@@DoublePaprika and I think he knows it. They all do. But when you make a career - and a boatload of cash - off bottling up hate and disinformation to your followers… why would you change?
@@kentjohnson26 the truth? The truth is that the daily wire is a conglomeration of failed actors and writers who embraced the political right to ensure they’d get an audience for their media vomit. Jeremy Boreing tried making films before daily wire, Knowles was a failed actor, and many of the actors they secure for these “projects” are actors that can’t find work anywhere else. They’re either washed up or, in numerous cases, they have been involved in sexual assault or right-wing conspiracy scandals. The “truth” for you is that your favorite conservative media company is conservative for the sake of always having a consumer group to shove their media down. The entire business model is outrage.
@@stephennootens916Also, on another point, after Ebert panned the movie, Gallo, being the wonderful human being that he is, proceeded to say he hoped that Ebert would get cancer and die. 🙄😤😠😡

@@kittykittybangbang9367 it was pretty pro genocide and they almost immediately took it down. Ben claimed to be on vacation when it was made which makes no sense as even with the low effort animation seen in the short, animation takes months so he had to have known
I'll be listening on my drive home, but my prediction is that anything the Daily Wire produces, for news or entertainment, will 1.) Leave you with no doubt that conservatives are the "good guys" 2.) Be bland.
In addition to the fact of abortion being around during the time of slavery, Candace misunderstood (likely on purpose) the premise of the statement. Schumer isn't implying that *abortions* are the thing the slaveholders wanted, but rather forced birth. The act of impregnating enslaved women was often one of profit rather than lust. Those babies were automatically property of their white fathers (after changes were made to the law following the freeing of Elizabeth Key), who then got more free labor. Black women, explicitly during slavery and supposedly unintentionally now, were controlled and oppressed through their ability to give birth. With the new abortion bans, we go back to a time when AFAB people in general could be controlled through their uteri (uteruses?).
Movies shaped around the author’s/director’s politics and worldview is usually a good thing. Taking from what you know and all that. But hammering a story into the shape of worldview only works if it’s a cohesive worldview.
I know this is probably one of your most common comments but I think its worth repeating again.... Thank you so much for watching this crap and keeping up with these dinguses so I don't have too. Much love, my man.
Im a leftist and I would love to direct a film with an overlying conservative/nationalist theme, but sneak in an underlying progressive/communist theme.
There are a fair few movies like this but because a lot of conservatives see everything on a surface level they’ll just adopt the message that is being criticised. Fight Club comes to mind.
The other female led Western that you're missing is Johnny Guitar, which is excellent and I recommend it. I can see why it might be overlooked for the category but the main character is unambiguously Joan Crawford's Vienna.
"name his horse Brandon" I like how the meme'ing in contrasted with "this is an animal that is providing a useful service to you and in order for you to adequately interact with them you must show a degree of respect and care towards them"
Two words: Rush Limbaugh Religious and "conservative" media is extremely profitable not so much for their reach, but because the nature of their audience. To be blunt, gullible authoritarian followers are highly sought after by people who want to exploit them.
I like how the cops excuse is "it was dark" (12 seconds in the dark). Maybe no-knock raids are bad then? Even if they WERE drug dealers, the penalty isn't death without trial.

Love how Benny bragged about how many people watched the Walsh "documentary," saying something like 14,000 streamed it day 1. That means just about 1% of their subscribers watched it day 1....ooooooooof
it's so great seeing these movie reviews in retrospective not just you but from conservative grifters who had a vested interest in this movie being big. The theatrical release made 804 dollars and they all acted like it was gonna be big and you were the only review that called this movie out for what it was, such a chefs kiss.
Acting wise, Gina was made to play the tough badass chick in B action flicks, or horror or sci Fi. She's competent as a heavy but not much beyond it. But she does have looks, athleticism, and charisma, just not the acting talent of a real leading lady.
Sounds about right. Looking back to when she started with Haywire, it seemed to mostly be action scenes where she and her co-stars would beat the hell out of each other and when the action stopped the co-stars had to carry the scenes because she was giving them nothing.
@@bigbearkat2010 I mean, she's great in Deadpool. Give her some real fight scenes, she's believable against any man. She was a decent mma fighter, that's not nothing, though even then she was definitely playing the personality and celebrity angle. She's no Rhonda Rousey.
I’m gonna be honest, as a woman, the actor’s comments of “giving women the right to vote was a mistake” actually made me lol. Dude is pathologically afraid of women who have choices
I had a conversation with a friend recently wherein we imagined Troy McClure being in Daily Wire Movies. "You may remember me from such films as True Allegiance 2: Truer Allegiance and Matt Walsh's Hard Drive is Missing!"
If you want to watch a REALLY excellent female-led Western, I highly suggest the French-animated Calamity, a Childhood of Martha Jane Cannary that just came out-- just magical Ghibli-esque storytelling the whole way through. : D
Cinestate films were actually fairly good and in some cases great crime genre films. Brawl in Cell Block 99 is honestly one of the most interesting crime films in the last decade and could be comparable to the closest to the Americanization of South Korean New Wave like Oldboy or Lady Vengeance. It sucks that S Craig Zahler was part of Cinestate's brand because he actually is a very interesting and powerful filmmaker who if given a chance by a studio like A24 or Blumhouse could be on par with Jordan Peele as an interesting voice in genre filmmaking.
I've been looking forward to this since you announced it. It is something I've been interested in for a while. The Daily Wire has been creating a wild parallel universe.
@@osmosisjones4912 You can't possibly be this misinformed with such a flawed perspective on the world in which we live.

Y'all in the comments, help me out :P
I would bet there are a decent number of celebrities who are conservative beyond the DW crowd; it’s just that those celebrities are smart enough not to be openly bigoted. Certainly you can argue Nick Searcy is more honest, but he’s also less successful (and he was beloved for a time for his role on Justified).
Tim Allen, Kelsey Grammer, Angie Harmon Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Laura Prepon, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Chris Pratt, and Shannen Doherty are a few names that come to mind. Granted, I don't follow celebrity news, but most of them seem to do okay careerwise. Chris Pratt is probably the best evidence that being an outspoken conservative is no reason for Hollywood to 'cancel' you.
@@Itcouldbebunnies I'm not very familiar with celebrities, but I do know that at least Tim Allen does not come off as batshit insane levels of conservatism, it could have to do with how extreme they (publicly) are?
@@Itcouldbebunnies So the only two that come to mind as having their careers cratered are Mel Gibson and Gina Carano. I wonder what group took offense to them to separate them from all the others?
@@legateelizabeth Mel Gibson was an alcoholic who was accused of domestic abuse, and made many derogatory statements about gays, J++s, and black people. Since he got cleaned up he's been uncancelled. See: Hacksaw Ridge (2016) Carano is just a lousy actress with a toxic personality, that's why she can't get a job in Hollywood anymore. Your theory doesn't hold up, especially in light of high profile cases like these: - Laura Dern was cancelled for a decade after playing a lesbian. - Sinead O'Connor got cancelled for speaking out against the corruption and child abuse in the catholic church. Maybe people should've listened to her instead. - Janet Jackson got cancelled for a wardrobe mishap caused by Justin Timberlake. (he's been doing fine though...) - Dixie Chicks got cancelled for speaking out against the Iraq war. - Winona Ryder was cancelled for ages because of...shoplifting! Btw, it's important to distinguish being cancelled and experiencing consequences for bad behaviour, because we all know how people who can't get work for being verbally, physically, or s++ually abusive LOVE to claim they're being 'cancelled' by the 'woke mob' for being conservative, religious, or for offending 'those people' in some way. Gtfoh.
You might check out Netflix's miniseries Godless. I dunno if it'd count as a "female lead" and is also something of an ensemble piece, but the role of women in the West is fairly central to the plot since the basis of the conflict is a mining town in which nearly all the men died in a mine collapse, and it contains some interesting bits on sexuality, queerness and gender presentation; e.g. how the bi/pan women who were previously in comphet are hooking up/hiring sex workers, and some of the others are motivated to make a bad financial decision to sell the town *because* they are lonely and want more men to move in again. I felt the series sort of failed to live up to its interesting premise by the end and sort of just allowed itself to slide into standard Western stuff, but I'd be interested to hear your opinion on it.
Bandidas! How could you have missed Bandidas in your female led western film search?! Thank you for this excellent video. And for sitting through so many hours of content so that we don't have to. Much appreciated.
I'm not convinced that the Daily Wire network needs to e profitable to be a success. There are a lot of wealthy people who will invest in a conservative pro-business venture if it can be passed off as populist. Almost the entire British print media opperats at a loss at this point but the people who own it are willing to sink the money needed to keep it ticking over selling the papers at well below cost to produce for the veneer of respectiability this gives them and ultimately control over the political narrative. I don't think the Daily Wire will ever go public for precisely this reason. It's propaganda in it's pure form, it's billionaires buying influence that ultimately facilitates them continuing to make their money in other ways. Fossil fuels, union busting, military industrial complex, whatever. If this sounds overly conspiratorial it's not meant to be it's simply a sound financial decision for the people concerned, they invest in something that gives them the results that allow them to keep making more money than they invest in the media company.
“Other shows like Debunked; where Ben misreads science” There’s a trailer for an episode of Debunked making the Facebook rounds where Ben argues that feminism=bad cause unmarried men overdose on heroin more than married men. Bad take aside, the trailer has Ben show two graphs while explaining with percentages what the graphs say comparing men to overall population…..according to data he’s showing -in this trailer -a trailer that was scripted and edited together to entice people to join Ben is saying women married or not have never overdosed ever.

Fun fact. In Gina Caranos first film Haywire they actually dubbed her voice. They didn't think she did very well with voice acting so they got someone else to speak for her.
Wow you learn something new every day. I thought she was an absolute sex pot in that movie, but knowing that her voice was dubbed changes things a little😆
wait, seriously? damn. i quite like Haywire.
Even Steven Soderbergh couldn't get a good performance from her
@Maxx Rice She's basically hired because it's easier to get a fighter to act than to get an actor to fight. You see the same thing used a lot in film musicals; getting dancers and singers to act rather than getting actors to sing and dance. However since those three have a much longer history of being overlapping skills than acting and fighting it usually gets better results: for instance dancer Moira Shearer's first straight acting gig was in Powell and Pressburger's The Red Shoes, and it's widely regarded as one of the best performances put to screen in one of the greatest films ever made.
She doesn't speak at all in Deadpool.
So Caranos normal person character can just pick up a gun and inexplicably start kicking loads of ass. Isn't that the exact same complaint they have about Rey Palpatine?
yes
Yes
And they put indigenous characters to show they aren't racist
Like some sort of forced diversity
And its an issue both times.
Daisy Ridley is a much better actor than Gina anyways which can explain why she gets more lead acting roles.

The Daily Wire needs a horror film about a big city in the urban north replacing all of their bathroom signs indicating that they're all gender neutral now. The main characters desperately search for respite from their inability to pee because they refuse to degrade themselves in the woke toilet mob. The twist ending comes when they manage to meet a kindly old lady who offers them the use of her bathroom. Just when they think they can finally relieve themselves, they discover that the conspiracy has gone so far that even private citizens have allowed the madness of non-segregated bathrooms in their own homes. The absolute terror!
(Hypothetical protagonist dialogue) “But…I thought men and women must fear or fight each other at all times and in all spaces!”

As a woman, who's been sexually assaulted and knows that there are men who will lie about whether or not they're trans if it means they get into a space where people are vulnerable...I kinda like the idea of there being a space where someone with the opposite set of genitalia can't enter without at least raising a few eyebrows. I'm all for equal rights, but not at the expense of my safety.

I agree with this except for The Rock and John Cena, both of them have too many great roles for me to give all the credit to the director. They've both got so much charm and talent
@@tristankennedy9673 I'm not giving all the credit to the director. But if you look at John Cena in The Marine or The Rock in the role of the Scorpion King, the director weren't utilizing their presence and charm, and they aren't good at acting as actors are taught to act. They cannot turn on acting like a professional actor, but they can bring their charm and presence to the table which the director has to utilize. Just like in cinema verite or Italian neorealism, they are natural actors who have to be utilized correctly, they aren't professional actors who can just put on a proverbial mask at the drop of a hat.

I will always remember Vincent Gallo for the spat he had with Roger Ebert over The Brown Bunny. To give you an idea of their relative values as a person, after Gallo re-edited the movie, Ebert actually gave it a positive review. After Ebert died, Gallo claimed he hadn't done any actual edits and that Ebert was simply lying about one or both reviews or had been too lazy to actually pay attention. It's one thing to carry a grudge to the end. It's quite another to turn around and slander another person and lie about the dispute after they are dead when they were generous enough to be conciliatory and grant another person the benefit of the doubt when it came to the result of their work.
Imagine being such a coward you wait till someone is dead to lie about them so they can't fight back
He has been a pos for decades. I said back in the 90s that he was the human embodiment of a red flag and I've repeatedly been proven right.

On all the ads I have seen for this movie on Reddit the tagline is always "let the un-canceling begin" which really seems like even they can't find anything good to say about their movie, so they have to make it political.

Another is Buckets by F. Paul Wilson where an abortion doctor is visited on Halloween by kids no one has ever seen...holding metal buckets filled with red liquid.
daily wire i will make you a movie about fetuses becoming zombies and going after pro choicers.............in exchange for all of bens money.......and i get to sl@p matt walsh once.
And gets shot because of ground laws XD
I like how 3/4 of the Daily Wire movies are female led.
I dunno, seems kinda woke to me guys
My parents have practically begged me to watch their movies claiming they’re “not political” and “amazing as standalone films” and I was extremely disappointed. My mom loves Ben and my dad loves Jordan Peterson so I wasn’t exactly surprised, just sad.
oof thats just shitty at least my dad is just a boring old regular republican and he doesn't even vote because in the distant past if you voted that was an easy way for them to choose you for jury duty lol
I’m just hoping my folks continue not to discover them. With their further slipping down the alt-right rabbit hole already, they don’t need any more help.
I still can't get over it that they ignore facts and can't stop talking about their feelings.
"no political agenda"
Ben: "This movie stars Gina Carano, the women Disney cancelled!"
Sorry you have to deal with that mate
Still doesn’t piss me off as much as “Run Hide Fight” for encouraging kids to do the exact opposite of what they should do in a school shooting.
You need to educate yourself a little better. The “run, hide, fight” concept has been so poorly bastardized by the public school system that it’s completely useless. Run means run away, not run to your hiding spot. That’s Hide.
@@kentjohnson26 I'm talking about the Ben Shapiro film "Run Hide Fight" where a girl gets caught in a school shooting and escapes, but instead decides to go back inside because she got a gun and then proceeds to kill all the shooters through the power of plot armor and deus ex machina. I wouldn't mind a straight action movie, but Shapiro clearly thinks that guns make you invincible.
@@nomisunrider6472 "..guns make you invincible if you are the good guy or gal" you forgot that bit. ;)
@@nomisunrider6472 or maybe, just maybe, it’s an action movie, meant to have action 🤦
@@teopalafox Then maybe you shouldn't make action movies out of school shootings, because they're horrific violent tragedies that shouldn't be glorified. Least of all by having the protagonist make decisions that would get any kid killed in an actual shooting.
I felt like the transition between the smaller discussion about the streaming service to the much larger discussion of the daily wire as a company flowed really well!
It flowed so well I barely even remembered this video started somewhere else until that fact was mentioned at the end.
I don't think that's true to be honest? It becomes true when a person, regardless of what their politics are, makes their politics their whole thing, their personality basically. A good storyteller (any good entertainer or artist) usually wants to create a good story, not go "check mate lefties" or "we're gonna be so cancelled after this", something SMN explores in the conservative comedy video. But that's also true for some very publicly liberal/left-leaning comic book writers, they put their agenda first and create stories that feel like first draft and heavily suffer from Perfect Character Syndrome protagonists.
As someone who liked Gina Carano back when I only knew her for her MMA career (she was awesome until she got absolutely wrecked by Cyborg) and the American Gladiators reboot, and enjoyed her in the Mandalorian, I was sad to see her behave in such an ignorant way, hurt others, and shoot her own career in the foot. But her entire persona is built around doing action movie cliche badassery. It is not in her wheelhouse to do nuance on screen. Regardless of her poor political opinions, she should not be the emotional anchor of a movie.
Yeah I thought she had a lot of potential to be a major female action star, including saying she would have made more sense as Wonder Woman because...I mean yeah, obviously, but then it turned out she's a shithead so good riddance.
She can't act.
100 percent agree with everything said
I was surprised how well she acted in Haywire though.
This is extremely well said and historically accurate or at least how I remember her as well.
Some More News does a great breakdown of right-wing comedy... They have one joke about "I identify as" and the rest is just supposed satire... but satire is supposed to be making fun of the thing being satirically presented... so it's not satire, it's just being deliberately hateful/bigoted/pick your hateful rhetoric in a "goofy" way to trigger the left and the joke is "ha ha the left is triggered". So that lines up perfectly with what that weird actor, who burnt is career to the ground, would consider "satire".
That is a poor representation of of right wing comedy
@@woobiefuntime it seems to be in line with the current crop of right-wing comedy.. most of the good ones (I am thinking blue-collar comedy tour, Kelsey Grammar ect... ) have effectively said "I don't want to be a part of this" and walked away. Either that or they are just not being booked for their material because it isn't "Ha ha libs are triggered".
@@woobiefuntime no, it's really not
@@woobiefuntime right wing "comedy" these days is just right wing politics in funny voices. Kinda like how right wing religion is just right wing politics practiced in a church.
This is because conservatives are cultural leeches, they're incapable of making anything for themselves so they create identity out of destroying or decaying things other people made. Comedy, religions, governments, etc.

It’s indicative of a growing split in the GOP between moderate conservatives and the Trumpists
And to paraphrase a great Republican leader who’d be disgusted by the modern party “a house divided against itself cannot stand. I do not believe the GOP can continue half-sane and half-MAGA. They must either become all one or all the other, lest the house shall collapse upon itself.”
One thing I don't understand is, why the obfuscation? Why the pretense that The Daily Wire has no political aims? I understand that they present themselves as news-focused and that entertainment is a relatively new venture for them, but it seems their audience actively appreciates filmmakers' catering to conservatives, and it's not like their claims of neutrality fool anyone anyway. It's as if public conservatism fosters a pathological impulse to lie, even when it generates no advantage whatsoever.
The right like to say "keep politics out of my entertainment" to them it only counts as having politics in entertainment If its left wing politics like treating people with respect
think its a mode of thinking like their politics isn't politics to them its right way of thinking while anything that isn't their way of thinking is politics and is labeled bad or left
also they are pulling on a culture that proudly state they are not political might deeply confuse or turn them off if they say they are political
The right-wing like to believe that their media is objective. Consider that for years the catch phrase for Fox News was "We report. You decide." despite the fact that they had an explicit right-wing bias. A lot of conservatives's identity is tied up in the myth that their positions are based in objective truth rather than ideological bias, and that's why they're better than "the left," whose positions are all based in ideology. It's...wild. Absolutely wild.
Because deep down nazis are embarrassed to exist 🥳 they don’t even want to admit that they’re political anymore, that’s hiding 😶🌫️
I think its their version of 'reality has a liberal bias'... just say often enough that the world is magical and Xtian, maybe it'll become true!
That DailyWire+ program is exactly the type of shit you'd subscribe to as a person who wants to have no fun and just see their twisted political stances reiterated and regurgitated time and time again.
Do they honestly expect me to believe that anyone of their audience will sit there like "Omg yes, the new Gina Carano banger!" and watch it out of a love for the actress' work or the director's ideas or the movie's ingenuity? Nah, they're just excited to hear some lame Right Wing talking points regurgitated to them. I give it two years before every movie on that platform is basically just a collage of the most unfunny "Let's Go Brandon" type memes out there. And that's what they're subbing to, lmao.
Meanwhile I, a true intellectual, subscribe to Netflix because I wanna see the Stranger Things children fight a fleshy muppet, and I subscribe to Disney, because I want to see the Star Wars man doing backflips and whooshing noises.
It's weird because their proposition of value, at least as they state it, it's to be a entertainment production company free from promoting any political agenda, while basically the exact opposite.
And it's weird because I thought no one actually likes interacting with political topics in absolutely every media they consume, but that's exactly what they offer. Who in their sane mind would pay for this? It sounds miserable. Some times it's god to use media for escapism, like the star wars people doing backflips and stuff
Pew pew
I think that what they probably WANTED from Terror on the Prairie and their other movies was a broad-appeal movie that gets a broad audience in the door, who then goes 'well I've already paid, might as well see what else is on' and listen to them with a bit more of a positive bent because they already gave them something they liked.
That's an approach that worked better in a context like TV channels; you produce a big-deal show people make the relatively small effort to tune into, they actually are likely to watch whatever you put on after it, provided no other interruptions, because there's no further action required. On streaming you're gonna need something that hits like a goddamn truck to even get people to look in your direction, and even then it's probably not gonna work.
@@EinDose Especially if you have no preexisting IPs to act as a hook to get people in the door. Disney has MCU, Star Wars, Pixar, and THE REST OF FUCKING DISNEY. Paramount has Star Trek, Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, and plenty of other things. HBO has The Sopranos, Succession, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, the list goes on. Even services with no major media company attached to them have tentpole, must see originals that they use as hooks: AppleTV had Severance, Netflix still has Bojack Horseman, you get the idea. What does the Daily Wire have to win people over who aren't already won over to Ben Shapiro and Benzo Peterson?
@@icp7201 deep confirmation bias. Perhaps they are experiencing cognitive dissonance, and need consistent affirmation.
It is amazing how deeply entrenched the mental scars of the Red Scare run in American culture.
And unsurprisingly, like many American nonsense, the “red scare” was probably less than 1% of the population at the time and America will never get over it.
Mind you the older generations did grow up during those times so I wouldn't say it's surprising that (while not all obviously because no group is a monolith) quite alot of them have that ingrained in them. Still not a excuse though because anyone can change
Gina Carano ruined her career because she wouldn't stop posting ridiculous BS even when her bosses told her to tone it down. And as you said, it wasn't because corporations are "woke", it is because her comments were turning people off which affected their bottom line. (It's always about the money!) Hell she was about to get her own show but she blew it so now she has to do movies for The Daily Wire because no one else wants her. I have zero pity for her and I hope she thinks it was worth it.
One thing I've noticed that conservatives seem wistful about is the desire to go back to when movies "didn't have an agenda" and it seems they view the western genre as this. Of.course westerns DID have an agenda and moat had some kind of message, nuance, and even politics which is why terror on the prairie seems so soulless. It's a creation by someone who doesn't understand creation. A facsimile of westerns that doesn't GET westerns
Yep. A 30-40 year arc that even involved the deconstruction of tropes and many other variants by the end, as well as just being the 'scene' through which many other stories were re-written.
Can't wait for the superhero genre to similarly pass out of culture :p
Also that they don't view western films as political because the majority of older ones were racist.
Westerns glorified white settler expansion into the western U.S. If Native Americans were portrayed, they were often the bad guys. Most Westerns had this agenda ever since they first started coming out in the early days of silent films.
There’s very little that’s neutral. Somethings in different movie genres become accepted as convention, but they make social and political statements, as much as “woke” trends today, by the types of people they caste as leading men and leading ladies.
@@gene108 for sure. I often ponder the modern genres and their relation to unrestrained use of the USA's global military...
On the westerns; near the end you had gems like 'dances with wolves'... while it falls into the 'white savior' schtick, its still leagues beyond most of the work in its genre. I think its also notable that there are a lot of directors in the format who left the native folk out of their stories entirely, for good or ill. For some, perhaps a conscious choice to move the genre away from its generic tropes.
The classic Hollywood westerns did have an agenda, but it was a very confused one. The characters wanted to both "civilize" the West and be made tougher by its savagery. They wanted to protect society, but with vigilante justice that itself was borderline criminal. They wanted to be able to go out and be macho - and even kill - but then come home to a sweet homemaker in a corset and petticoats who would spoil them with hot food and gentle sympathy (plus, of course, a little booze and a few saloon girls on the side). They wanted an idealized (for them) world that simply could not be.
It’s almost Greek tragedy levels of sad seeing the bones of a good movie buried under all the shitty acting, weird writing, blah story, and tone deaf right wing outrage marketing that ended up being about as successful as if they hadn’t tried at all.
Greek here, this is not a Greek tragedy, its a Greek disaster like the 30 tyrants.
It would be tragedy if this wasn't being done by bad people and was just a result of technical ineptitude. The inherently compelling and pulpariffic plot of Plan 9 From Outer Space (aliens causing a zombie apocalypse to prevent humanity from developing a weapon that would destroy the entire galaxy) being wasted by the no-budget, no talent cast and crew assembled by Ed Wood is tragic. This is just what Benny and company deserve.
@SubArc Adventures Benny has enough money to keep his victims quiet without us giving him any more. His daughters will write their tell-alls soon enough and we'll all find out that his biopic will be less this and more "A Serbian Film"
@SubArc Adventures I'm saying I'm not giving a hackfuck shitstain like Ben Shapiro my money because he'll only use it for bad things. People like Benny and crap like the stuf he inflicts on the world is why piracy exists. If I want to hear a maladjusted manlet with a single digit IQ complain about how the woke brigade and feminism stole his balls by taking Toddlers and Tiaras off the air I can do that without paying to enable more of it.
So it would only be good if left wing people produced the movies? That's how you see it?
I love how the right constantly says woke as if it's something the left says all the time, but I haven't heard people in the left say it that often (as least not nearly as often as the right).
It peaked in unironic use circa 2015 with the Freddie Gray protests, but as with most slang kinda went out of style and even on the left is mostly used mockingly now.
@@gentlerat "The Oxford English Dictionary traces the original such usage to a 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled "If You're Woke You Dig It" by African-American novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of Black slang by white beatniks."

@@toppersundquist That's amazing

@@toppersundquist so poetic.
There was a female lead Western a few years ago called "Jane Got a Gun" with Natalie Portman. It sounded fairly similar to this movie, but with a different reason for her having to protect her home from some bad guys and it was ok at best. Even though she's young in it, I think "True Grit" (at least the 2010 remake) had a decent female lead in Hailee Steinfeld.
Edit: Whoops didn't see the comment from Jose about True Grit. As far as the NYT best seller list, most of the conservative books that get on the list will have a funny symbol next to the books name. This symbol means that the majority of sales came from a small group. For example, if 5 different companies bought 1000 copies each the week it comes out, it might get on the list (I have no idea how many copies sold it takes), but it would have the symbol next to the books title.
Jane Got a Gun had a pretty troubled production history, with several cast and director changes. I usually enjoy Natalie Porman in movies and I thought it looked good but I couldn't really get into it.

@@marocat4749 I only know about PureFlix because of a woefully inaccurate biopic of Columbine victim Rachel Scott titled "I'm Not Ashamed." This movie was panned by critics and lambasted by the public. In fact; the family of Rachel Scott has been accused of selling Rachel's life story to movie producers and publishing agencies to make a quick buck and push a message of Evangelical Christianity, the same accusations leveled at the family of fellow Columbine victim Cassie Bernall. While I do have immense amounts of sympathy for the families of the victims of the tragedy at Columbine High School and find it inspiring of Rachel's mother Beth Nimmo choosing to not only forgive but also meet with Dylan's mother Sue Klebold; I don't condone the Scott and Bernall families for choosing to sell the life stories of their daughters to movie producers and publishing agencies to make a quick buck. Naturally; the Scott and Bernall families have denied such allegations and call the people who have criticized their decision as liars and nonbelievers. Can you imagine the amount of hot water PureFlix would end up in if they decided to make an anime style movie on the March 11th, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan?

Correction: Gina Carano was not fired by Disney. Her contract simply ran out. She just created a huge storm to give it an anti-SJW spin.
She WAS fired by her talent agency, though
It's similar to the big stink in the UK over Jeremy Clarkson being fired from Top Gear. Technically, the BBC didn't renew his contract after he assaulted a producer, a last straw in a line of controversies.
These kinds of people suffer the consequences of their actions, and it really isn't a big deal, but the public has a hangup about famous people facing consequences.

The Ballad of Little Jo is a western not only starring a female character, but also directed by a woman. It's also an interesting film in relation to trans awareness, because it depicts a young woman who decides to "disguise herself" as a man to survive.
That has nothing to do with being trans
@@kingexplosionmurderfuckoff9376 You're not familiar with critical theory, are you?
Dressing like a man to protect yourself isn’t being trans
@@ObiJohnKenobi67 You're not familiar with critical theory, are you?
@@ObiJohnKenobi67 You know what, my last response was a bit too cheeky. Allow me to clarify what I'm trying to say here.
Although it is not a trans character, it is a character that trans viewers may have (I would argue almost undoubtedly) related with and helped them to realize something about themselves they never knew. I've known trans people for whom their discovery was tied to characters as strange as Leatherface and as problematic as the trans people Maury Povich would always parade onto his show.
Whether the film or its story were about an actual trans person, or was intended to be about a trans person in the wild west, or it just so happened that the story featured a female character who dressed and acted like a man for her protection and that sounds extremely egg-like just by sheer unintended circumstance, the fact is that this is one of those films that almost certainly has resonated with trans communities and it absolutely can be read that way, even if you don't want to read it that way.
Critical theory, particularly postmodern critical theory, suggests that if you can come up with an argument for your reading of a book/film/artwork that has evidence to back it up, your critical reading of that work is just as valid as any other critical reading of it.
So you can say I'm wrong all you want, but....the evidence is there...it's just as valid a theory as any other reading of the film. You don't have to like or agree with my reading of it, but unless you plan to prove it wrong with some kind of evidence, you can't say I'm wrong. :) :) :) :)
Gina Carano's accent work is actually spot on. What happened is the St Louis accent of 1870 or so is now considered the neutral American accent. It happened as a sort of compromise between a bunch of regional accents in the early 20th century.
But why would he pick it out as identifiable if she sounds like everyone around her?
@@NucularRobit She didn’t, they mean that what would be recognized as a “St. Louis accent” at that time sounds pretty close to modern “Standard” American English, it doesn’t sound like an accent to us because it’s so close to how most people already sound.
Keep making excuses for her shitty acting.
I can't tell if this is a joke or a real fact
@@NucularRobit His accent is quite different. She sounds like modern people, but not like the other characters in the movie.
I'm honestly curious where this obviously weird disconnect will lead with Gina Carano being one of the more popular persona non gratas in the industry who shares DW beliefs and basically needs to work for them, and DW obviously pushing for these absurdly limiting ideas for gender roles. Will it end up being the case that Carano will be an action star for the deeply Conservative Alt-Right audience and they'll doublethink their way through Big Muscle Lady not fitting their tradwife idea, or will the DW start to give much more traditional, meek roles to Carano and she has to bite that bullet and become a demure on-screen tradwife in a few years who will have little to no starpower of her own as she's just the side piece to a male actor in some shitty C-Movie.
If it wasn't for doubled standards right wingers would have no standards whatsoever.
Should this happen, you’ve already got a veritable sociological name for such a phenomenon:
“The Carano Paradox/Effect”
@@warlordofbritannia I thought the Carano Effect was when a performer had their lines rerecord by a voice actor because they can't act for shit, as used by Stephen Soderbergh with Carano in his movie Haywire.

It might be generous to say that she will be in C-Movies. I think that this Western movie being reviewed can barely be considered a D-Movie despite whatever budget they had. If she didn't run off to the Daily Wire, she could have been featured in a few recent movies from the Asylum Films.

I gotta really recommend The Wind from 2018.

In the last couple of years, the conservative movement has been pushing really hard in generating their own platforms where they can share their views relatively unchallenged and unmoderated. Despite the content of many of these opinions, I do think market fragmentation is good to fight the current media monopolies. However, these conservative efforts have also pushed towards creating cult-like ideological bubbles that is awful for general public discord and generates further anti-social practices and isolation that often lead to depression.
Your complete lack of mentioning Hollywood’s agenda shows your bias. They constantly have a message that MUST include LGBTQLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ rights, social justice warrior crap, anti-bullying, transgender ideology, and any other leftist nonsense that’s trendy. They don’t even care about making good movies anymore.

At the time, our conservative leaning government launched an entire prosecution against said party for their crimes(which took disgustingly long, and it was allegedly because they were stealing votes from them and not because they cared that a citizen was killed), which lead to the party declared a criminal organization and its entire leadership jailed.

The first name only, "Candace," with the graphic "O" for Owens, seems to me to be an attempt at setting her up as their answer to Oprah's first name only branding. I figure the psuedo-talk show setting of her show is meant to add to this impression.
What I find so amazing is this film, which is meant to be a vehicle for Gina, suffers solely because Gina is the lead.
She is utterly miscast for the role.
I am reminded of Steven Spielberg's comment about why he refused to cast Charlton Heston in Jaws: When you see your lead is Heston you know he's going to survive and save the day. Not a single person looks at Gina and thinks "Oh look, a meek housewife that might actually be in danger and will have to learn to be strong". Everyone knew it was built for her being a badass.
The same with the next movie she's supposed to be in. Does ANYONE believe that Gina is a wife who is stalked by some crazy man and will be frightened at all by them?
Of course not. You just look at her and know she's the woman that threatens to kill a cashier because they won't accept her expired coupon.
But they've taken the coupons before! (grabs cashier by the collar and screams in his face)

While Bridges, Damon and Brolin are obviously the major draw of the movie, Steinfeld's character is 100% the protagonist of the story from who's eyes the film is told and who we follow throughout.
The Coens version is really the only version to see. Maybe the best remake ever and best adaptation of a western novel.
That was my thought too. And Steinfeld killed in that movie. Examined gender roles in a western context in an interesting way.

With the Gina Carano thing, I remember hearing that it wasn't the social medi post that got her dropped by disney, but some internal disputes within production, and she just used the social media post to jump ship and state that disney was anti free speech or something
I can believe that. She seemed to lean into the "cancel culture" angle pretty hard and seemed to have her deal with Daily Wire lined up pretty quickly after Disney let her go
That makes sense considering that Ahsoka's live action actress has apparently expressed transphobic behavior and hasn't gotten in trouble yet.
Frankly she was probably gonna get dropped by Disney eventually because her character is not that important to the mandolorian.
@@connorbeith3232 The thing to consider about that is that the winds are actually changing on trans acceptance.
Since 2017 the net acceptance of trans people - statements like 'a transwo/man is a wo/man' or 'gender and sex are separate' - has been trending down. Even among young people, acceptance is falling and has been for years, and in the coming years might fall below 50%.
Companies _will_ jump ship if they believe - perhaps even correctly - that trans acceptance is an unpopular position. So expect more open transphobia to become the norm.

Calling it now, the sole reason Daily Wire+ was founded so that Ben Shapiro can finally adapt all his terrible screenplays that were rejected by Hollywood for being -badly written C movie schlock filled of far right propaganda- "Not woke enough to earn at least 8 figures at the box office".
Making sure the True Alliegance saga comes to the big screen/stream is pretty much Ben's only passion project outside of slowly turning the American Dream into a waking nightmare with his rapid-fire rhetoric
God I hope he manages to turn True Allegiance into a series of increasingly bad films. I would almost be tempted to pay to watch them.

Gina Carano's is such a weird and sad story. I remember when she first appeared in The Mandalorian and everyone on tumblr was thirsting over "big muscle mommy" and whatnot. People loved her character. Then she flew her true colors and everyone felt angry and probably a little embarrassed. And instead of trying to win that audience back she leaned hard into her "persecution" and has gone full Jon Voigt. Shame, really
For those not in-the-know, Vincent Gallo was born into a family of obscene old wealth and showbiz connections, but somewhat on the outer edges of that family-I forget now exactly who he’s related to, and his Wikipedia page seems to have been scrubbed of any mention of his family’s elite standing, but I think it may be Anjelica Huston who’s his mom’s cousin, and his grandparents own a famous gallery, something like that, plus there are other old money connections-so as a young man he grew up coddled in NYC’s late-20th century “It” scene, basically a bunch of young unemployed Upper East Side-ers slumming it around Chelsea with the Soho crowd. He famously had some kind of vintage European sports car, and would drive around making sure everyone saw him, stopping to pester people for money or for modeling gigs. Then, as do most sheltered dilettantes, he decided to go into movies … and surprisingly, he struck gold once with _Buffalo ‘66._ (Although in truth Christina Ricci carries that movie.) Aaaand … that’s it: he peaked in his 30s. He was always little more than a lucky drugged-out kid, and those people often age poorly: what was cute when you were a kid is just embarrassing in your 60s … and that’s all he is now, is a deeply unpleasant drug addict. Everything he’s doing now can be explained by his upbringing: he never had to work, people always sucked up to him for his connections, and he always had money. So now he’s just an old unpleasant drug addict living in a bubble.
This was a pretty thoughtful and well-crafted video. I was particularly impressed by the part where you methodically deconstructed TDW's claims of being the most engaged publisher in the world, and provided multiple alternative narratives with data to back them up. It's nice to see this kind of rigorous, even-handed, empirically-backed discourse on youtube. Thanks for fighting the good fight.

@@b1bbscraz3y No, I'm saying that it doesn't matter which ideology you choose. You'll find plenty of liars in any political environment.

Look at any country literally ever, and regardless of where or what they believe, and you'll find those who are willing to lie to advance their career (especially evident in countries with bigger governments, think USSR, CCP, Germany, Canada, USA).

They’re either washed up or, in numerous cases, they have been involved in sexual assault or right-wing conspiracy scandals. The “truth” for you is that your favorite conservative media company is conservative for the sake of always having a consumer group to shove their media down. The entire business model is outrage.

In addition to the fact of abortion being around during the time of slavery, Candace misunderstood (likely on purpose) the premise of the statement. Schumer isn't implying that *abortions* are the thing the slaveholders wanted, but rather forced birth.
The act of impregnating enslaved women was often one of profit rather than lust. Those babies were automatically property of their white fathers (after changes were made to the law following the freeing of Elizabeth Key), who then got more free labor. Black women, explicitly during slavery and supposedly unintentionally now, were controlled and oppressed through their ability to give birth. With the new abortion bans, we go back to a time when AFAB people in general could be controlled through their uteri (uteruses?).
Movies shaped around the author’s/director’s politics and worldview is usually a good thing. Taking from what you know and all that. But hammering a story into the shape of worldview only works if it’s a cohesive worldview.
Unreliable filmmaker isn’t a trope for a reason lol
I'd also argue if it's a viewpoint you disagree with make it more interesting to dissect.
I know this is probably one of your most common comments but I think its worth repeating again.... Thank you so much for watching this crap and keeping up with these dinguses so I don't have too. Much love, my man.
Im a leftist and I would love to direct a film with an overlying conservative/nationalist theme, but sneak in an underlying progressive/communist theme.
Well its a fine idea, but plenty of movies already do things like this
There are a fair few movies like this but because a lot of conservatives see everything on a surface level they’ll just adopt the message that is being criticised. Fight Club comes to mind.

it's so great seeing these movie reviews in retrospective not just you but from conservative grifters who had a vested interest in this movie being big. The theatrical release made 804 dollars and they all acted like it was gonna be big and you were the only review that called this movie out for what it was, such a chefs kiss.
If you want a great female lead western check out Johnny Guitar, a fairly unusual 1950s western that ends with a duel between two women.
Thanks for the rec! I'll check it out if I can!
Acting wise, Gina was made to play the tough badass chick in B action flicks, or horror or sci Fi. She's competent as a heavy but not much beyond it. But she does have looks, athleticism, and charisma, just not the acting talent of a real leading lady.
Sounds about right. Looking back to when she started with Haywire, it seemed to mostly be action scenes where she and her co-stars would beat the hell out of each other and when the action stopped the co-stars had to carry the scenes because she was giving them nothing.
@@bigbearkat2010 I mean, she's great in Deadpool. Give her some real fight scenes, she's believable against any man. She was a decent mma fighter, that's not nothing, though even then she was definitely playing the personality and celebrity angle. She's no Rhonda Rousey.

Glad you mentioned the BS that happened to Melanie Toast. That was some shady stuff.
Cinestate films were actually fairly good and in some cases great crime genre films. Brawl in Cell Block 99 is honestly one of the most interesting crime films in the last decade and could be comparable to the closest to the Americanization of South Korean New Wave like Oldboy or Lady Vengeance. It sucks that S Craig Zahler was part of Cinestate's brand because he actually is a very interesting and powerful filmmaker who if given a chance by a studio like A24 or Blumhouse could be on par with Jordan Peele as an interesting voice in genre filmmaking.
I was so into Zahler before I heard about the awful actions by Cinestate. I wonder what will happen to his career.

I would bet there are a decent number of celebrities who are conservative beyond the DW crowd; it’s just that those celebrities are smart enough not to be openly bigoted. Certainly you can argue Nick Searcy is more honest, but he’s also less successful (and he was beloved for a time for his role on Justified).
He hosted the Limbaugh show several times. So...
Tim Allen, Kelsey Grammer, Angie Harmon Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Laura Prepon, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Chris Pratt, and Shannen Doherty are a few names that come to mind. Granted, I don't follow celebrity news, but most of them seem to do okay careerwise. Chris Pratt is probably the best evidence that being an outspoken conservative is no reason for Hollywood to 'cancel' you.
@@Itcouldbebunnies I'm not very familiar with celebrities, but I do know that at least Tim Allen does not come off as batshit insane levels of conservatism, it could have to do with how extreme they (publicly) are?
@@Itcouldbebunnies So the only two that come to mind as having their careers cratered are Mel Gibson and Gina Carano.
I wonder what group took offense to them to separate them from all the others?
@@legateelizabeth
Mel Gibson was an alcoholic who was accused of domestic abuse, and made many derogatory statements about gays, J++s, and black people. Since he got cleaned up he's been uncancelled. See: Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
Carano is just a lousy actress with a toxic personality, that's why she can't get a job in Hollywood anymore.
Your theory doesn't hold up, especially in light of high profile cases like these:
- Laura Dern was cancelled for a decade after playing a lesbian.
- Sinead O'Connor got cancelled for speaking out against the corruption and child abuse in the catholic church. Maybe people should've listened to her instead.
- Janet Jackson got cancelled for a wardrobe mishap caused by Justin Timberlake. (he's been doing fine though...)
- Dixie Chicks got cancelled for speaking out against the Iraq war.
- Winona Ryder was cancelled for ages because of...shoplifting!
Btw, it's important to distinguish being cancelled and experiencing consequences for bad behaviour, because we all know how people who can't get work for being verbally, physically, or s++ually abusive LOVE to claim they're being 'cancelled' by the 'woke mob' for being conservative, religious, or for offending 'those people' in some way. Gtfoh.
You might check out Netflix's miniseries Godless. I dunno if it'd count as a "female lead" and is also something of an ensemble piece, but the role of women in the West is fairly central to the plot since the basis of the conflict is a mining town in which nearly all the men died in a mine collapse, and it contains some interesting bits on sexuality, queerness and gender presentation; e.g. how the bi/pan women who were previously in comphet are hooking up/hiring sex workers, and some of the others are motivated to make a bad financial decision to sell the town *because* they are lonely and want more men to move in again.
I felt the series sort of failed to live up to its interesting premise by the end and sort of just allowed itself to slide into standard Western stuff, but I'd be interested to hear your opinion on it.
Bandidas! How could you have missed Bandidas in your female led western film search?!

Next on The Daily Wire: A reimagining of The Boys, this time from the perspective of the true heroes, Homelander and Stormfront.
And Don’t forget Vaught Industries is just misunderstood, and they are the job creators too
One female led western I would recommend is "The Wind".
I'm not convinced that the Daily Wire network needs to e profitable to be a success. There are a lot of wealthy people who will invest in a conservative pro-business venture if it can be passed off as populist. Almost the entire British print media opperats at a loss at this point but the people who own it are willing to sink the money needed to keep it ticking over selling the papers at well below cost to produce for the veneer of respectiability this gives them and ultimately control over the political narrative. I don't think the Daily Wire will ever go public for precisely this reason.
It's propaganda in it's pure form, it's billionaires buying influence that ultimately facilitates them continuing to make their money in other ways. Fossil fuels, union busting, military industrial complex, whatever. If this sounds overly conspiratorial it's not meant to be it's simply a sound financial decision for the people concerned, they invest in something that gives them the results that allow them to keep making more money than they invest in the media company.
