Part 8/11:
The hosts digressed into heavy criticisms of Hollywood’s duplicity, from remaking classics with nuanced identity swaps to cancel culture’s censorship of provocative art. Brett lamented Spotify’s removal of songs with offensive history, like early Cancer Culture era lyrics, highlighting how societal standards have shifted rapidly.
They roasted the absurdity of corporate overreach: brands like Apple Jacks sacrificed their original mascot to dodge accusations of racism, with satirical exchanges comparing these changes to dystopian cultural shifts. The societal obsession with “safe” entertainment, avoiding uncomfortable truths or history, was a recurring theme.
