HOLLYWOOD IS BURNING!!!

There was once a time when going to the latest film at the cinema was a big event outing. These days anytime a big tentpole film is about to be released. The usual feeling is - what social political messages are they going to preach to us this time. It seems Hollywood has forgotten what people love about watching movies and TV shows? The chance to experience pure 'escapism'. Who didn't dream they could fly like Superman around the world, or take up adventures and fight the Evil Empire like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia?

Movie sequels such as Thor Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever should be sure fire hits having people craving to see more of these fan favorite heroes. Instead these movies offer little more than some companies (Disney) or film makers particular social messaging by deconstructing and subverting our expectations on how these characters should be represented. Do we even have to mention Rian Johnson's take on Luke Skywalker in the Last Jedi. Where he took the most hopeful person in the Stars Wars Universe, and made him the most hopeless person who gave up on everyone - who's only purpose in the film is to die.

In this episode of the Turk & Raz we do our own deconstruction on why Hollywood these days just plain SUCKS! Thanks for listening.
