About this episode

The episode discusses Hollywood's diversity mandates, protests in Biddeford, and a military display as a culture-war flashpoint.

- Tom Shattuck from the Maine Wire fills in for Gerry today. - Elliot Page’s casting as a Greek warrior in The Odyssey sparks a brutal takedown of Hollywood’s diversity mandates, historical rewrites, and Oscar-driven virtue signaling. - The upcoming Sylvester Stallone film I Play Rocky earns praise for celebrating perseverance, masculinity, patriotism, and the real-life gamble behind one of America’s most iconic movies. - Out-of-state activists descend on Biddeford after the fatal ICE encounter, expanding the memorial, confronting officials, following federal agents, and turning a local shooting into a national protest spectacle. - A low-flying Blue Angels beach demonstration becomes a culture-war flashpoint, with critics attacking the military display while supporters celebrate American power, technology, and unapologetic patriotism.
