Deep dives
The Decline of Traditional Hollywood
The conversation discusses the significant shifts in Hollywood, especially the declining popularity of the Academy Awards which used to unify audiences. The emphasis on representation mandates, such as requiring a percentage of LGBTQ and diverse cast members for awards, is noted as a key factor that has alienated audiences who once celebrated these events. As political correctness took precedence over genuine artistry and humor, Hollywood's once revered star system deteriorated, creating a divide between traditional Hollywood values and contemporary expectations. This shift resulted in many viewers disconnecting from the industry's output, leading to a profound transformation in how entertainment is consumed and valued.
