Part 3/11:
Disney's Woke Agenda and Corporate Failures
A core segment criticizes Disney’s current trajectory. CEO Bob Iger’s recent speeches show a disconnect: he admits that Disney’s focus on messaging has eclipsed quality storytelling. The hosts highlight that Disney’s products, including The Marvels—a $250 million disaster—fail to recoup investment, largely because they are burdened by woke messaging and political correctness.
They note that many Disney projects become flops due to the company's obsession with “values” over entertainment, citing Black Panther and Mulan as examples of messaging-driven hits that alienated core audiences. Meanwhile, Disney's internal struggles—such as blaming underperforming movies on creative leaders—are seen as attempts to deflect responsibility.
