A recurring theme is Hollywood's obsession with virtue signaling, identity politics, and posturing. They criticize the overwhelming presence of "woke" themes—particularly in shows like Wakanda Forever and Ironheart—which appear more motivated by ideological messaging than storytelling quality.

Examples include Marvel's Daredevil and Thunderbolts, which reportedly underperform despite marketing claims of success. The hosts agree that studios are increasingly detached from audience reception, instead pushing narratives that serve their political and social objectives.
