News of Woke’s Death Is Greatly Exaggerated

The success of candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America in recent congressional primaries in New York and mayoral races in Los Angeles and the District of Columbia underscores the enduring appeal of a leftist moral framework that casts American society as a Machiavellian struggle between the oppressors and the oppressed.

Woke Supergirl Movie Is a Super-Bomb

The woke reboot of Supergirl was marked in the usual post-modern woke culture war fashion of spewing hatred at men and accusing them of sexism before the movie even opened.

The Hollywoke Strain

There is endless proof that wokeness has devastated the screen trade.

Studios Costly Woke Agendas Chase Elusive Prestige and Trophies

In the risky business that is Hollywood, where budgets frequently reach nine figures and a film’s fate is determined by the willingness of film-goers to part with their dollars, Warner Bros.’ “The Bride!” is serving as the perfect cautionary tale on how ill-advised it is to mix woke politics with general entertainment fare.
