Part 4/11:
The Cultural Shift: From Hollywood to Mainstream Society
An interesting tangent discusses how Hollywood insiders historically kept politics out of entertainment. The hosts mention that actors like Jim Carrey, who broke into fame through shows like In Living Color, exemplify a time when Hollywood was filled with varied political views but rarely saw the industry overtly politicized.
The discussion extends to how societal views have changed, pointing out that even mainstream entertainment often blurs lines between gender, sexuality, and identity—sometimes to the point of absurdity, such as making movies with overt messaging about gender ideology or promoting alternative lifestyles.
