Part 6/15:

The interview reveals a recurring theme: Hollywood increasingly leverages identity politics, with actors like Shuti Gatwa, the new Doctor Who, emphasizing their race and sexuality to promote their roles. Gatwa claims he's "making history" as the first openly queer Black actor to play the Doctor, framing the role as inherently tied to his sexual identity.

The hosts critique this approach, arguing that stories like Doctor Who are about broader themes of regeneration and not about the actor's personal identity. They suggest that casting choices should remain rooted in the story rather than forced to push social agendas, warning that overly politicized casting risks alienating traditional fans.
