There are things that are getting disturbing. Spoilers for True Detective: Night Country! In True Detective you have a woman of color detective essentially raping a guy and it is all good. She continues treating him like crap towards the end. But she was the good gal and everything is fine. This is when the anti-woke crowd has a good argument. Just can't watch anything with Jodie Foster in it unless it comes with a heavy dose of Anthony Hopkins, her character being killed by a crazy South African or a young Ted Levine but did the black girl actually rape a guy in her new show?

Gonna be honest, the lead actor looks shite and nothing like I imagined Drake in the books Are those books any good? Thinking of picking one up at some point I've read the first three and they were not bad, although I'm not a huge fan of the genre. "Anya" is kinda the girlboss Drinker complains about though.

He doesn't have the Groundskeeper Willy accent!
"Ken is the real hero of the movie because all he wants is a little bit of recognition and to be seen by her-he doesn't want to be worshiped or the ruler of everything -he just wants a little bit of respect and apparently that makes him the antagonist of the movie. Bizarre."

For another, John Birmingham and his "Without Warning" trilogy. It has an important spy element by way of some girl working for an international intel agency called Echelon but it's primarily about what happens when almost all of America is gone and how it faces that challenge. An engineer from Seattle becomes the President if I recall correctly. It has 4 or 5 character perspectives

Currently reading through the Malazan: Book of the Fallen, series.

They mentioned The Daily Wire making "conservative" movies.
I think it is a big mistake to set out to make an anti-woke movie. It shouldn't be so clinical. Make a story you want to tell-don't do something merely as a response to something else.
They talked about a film Terror on the Prairies and reviews for it indicated it wasn't exactly anti-woke since the wife does all the major fighting. I notice the villains who scalp their prisoners are Confederate soldiers too.
They said Tom Cruise is the last real movie star but Eastwood is a better example because Cruise was out of the stunts-spfx era--Tom Gun and Mission Impossible etc. Cruise could not open a movie entirely on his name alone. That's why he is doing non stop Mission Impossible movies--he needs the brand identification.
Eastwood never did--none of the Dirty Harry movies are named to remind you of the series.
Dirty Harry Part 2 etc.
