HOT TOPICS | MAGA Melts Down Over "Woke" Superman - July 10th, 2025

MAGA is melting down over the new Superman movie because, apparently, telling the story of an immigrant who fights for truth and justice is now “woke.” Never mind the fact that Superman has always been about immigration, inclusion, and standing up for the little guy. But when the story doesn't center them, MAGA calls foul. We’re breaking down the absurd outrage, the history they conveniently ignore, and what this says about the right’s favorite buzzword. Spoiler alert: Superman’s values haven’t changed, they’re just not yours, MAGA. This episode is sponsored by Beam.
