Yep, that's the way to do it: make the whole damn thing a laughing-stock.

Brilliant! Can't wait to see it.

Daily Wire seem to be moving into making more TV and film content that is "like it used to be"*. They are making children's stuff under Bent Key Productions, including a live action Snow White film which is both a clear two fingers up at Disney, but also being billed as a classic production of the original fairly tale, true to its values. They are also making an Arthurian style kids TV series, The Pendragon Cycle. I think they are looking to start sneaking market share from parents who just want to let their kids watch films and TV that aren't going to be chock full of "woke" propaganda. Whether it's full of other propaganda I couldn't say! But it's not much of a stretch to imagine that a large amount of middle America would be pretty happy with that.

  • Disclaimer. I haven't watched any, I just know this is what is promoted because I find Brett Cooper's you tube channel really quite funny, and she's their Snow White and also in the Pendragon thingy.

Very true.

It'll probably also surprise people that the right are funny and do satire, that used to be the left!
The Babylon Bee has led on this. A right wing Christian site who are the funniest thing on twitter!

Apart from anything, watching the trailer I felt relief that someone is making funny films again, stupid funny films that are irreverent and take the piss, like the old days. It feels old school with a new target to piss take.

I miss those days.

That’s so true.
Everything these days is either preachy and self righteous or terrified of giving offence. I miss offensive comedy.

Daily Wire is already slated by all the people who will slate this for being "far" right. In reality they are fairly mainstream US conservative right. So they won't care about the screaming and foot stamping and twitter storms from the TRAs and the left, because they have already done all that.

I guess that's an unexpected upside of being cancelled. If you survive it, what more can they do to you?

This does look pretty funny. And even if the whole film isn't seen by that many people due to only being on the DW subscription service, there will be a million you tube videos with clips which will get a much bigger audience.

I don't think they'll release it. They want Daily Wire subscriptions.
They may do a free 24 hr showing on twitter like they did with What's a Woman but that'll be months later.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 28/11/2023 14:06

Yes, it's an actual film. Released very soon – on 1 December, on the US subscription channel Daily Wire +

Not sure what plans are for a general release (cinema/Netflix etc), but would love to know.

I would be surprised if cinemas wanted the flak but I am hopeful for Netflix, given the success they have previously backing Gervais and Chapelle.

Froodwithatowel · 28/11/2023 14:01

Protested.... yeah. Stop reflecting reality, it makes us look bad.

Bring This On.

AbsolutelyFemale · 28/11/2023 13:39

Will definitely watch it 👍 this shit is so ridiculous 🙄

Dabralor · 28/11/2023 12:47

It looks a bit shit tbh. And Ted Cruz makes a cameo so I'm out. Don't want to be on his side in all this.

Vegemiteandhoneyontoast · 28/11/2023 12:37

LOL! That looks awful and hilarious and I have to watch it! Can't wait to see what the reactions are.

lifeturnsonadime · 28/11/2023 12:29

It's brilliant.

Get's to the heart of the matter in the form of comedy.

No wonder the TRAs are so offended.

It's stating that truth and "they " don't like it.

Is it actually a film that's being made ?

Ridicule can be a very effective tool.

Best trailer I've seen in ages 🍿

ArthurbellaScott · 28/11/2023 11:36

Trailer's had over 1m views already.

NotBadConsidering · 28/11/2023 11:20

I expect the righteous outrage from TRAs, LOJ, the Guardian etc, will be funnier than the film itself 🍿

This. There isn't enough 🍿 in the world.

Musomama1 · 28/11/2023 11:18

Brilliant. There's so much comedy to be had in the insanity of gender woo. We've had a little of it in the mainstream with Ricky Gervais but there's so much more to be said. If I was a writer I'd relish the opportunity to let loose like they clearly are doing here.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/11/2023 11:11

Looking forward to this.

Hopefully there’ll be more protests when it comes out, it’ll drum up some more publicity.

Absolutely. And provide an object lesson.

Looking at the article I couldn't work out if the protest was a scene from the film or for real.

Datun · 27/11/2023 22:29

It's exactly what's happening. One guy says, incredulously, 'so I can be a woman on the court, but a man in the bedroom?'

Yep. And in the changing rooms, mate.
