I haven’t seen “Am I Racist” yet, but I’m a white male so I have seen most of it.

I don’t recall megalopolis having an “anti-Trump” vibe.

If it had it would certainly be getting good ratings from the critics.

Hollywood spending $120 million on failed movie with Anti-Trump propaganda is still considered to be value for money.

I don’t know where it comes from, but they seem to have unlimited money for leftist projects and corruption

why else would they have given the Obama’s $140 million to do nothing but attach their name to garbage documentaries?

I’m not watching it unless the Jon Voight car is in it.

Am I Racist is in theaters now. That is a first for Daily Wire films, which have previously been siloed behind the paywall on the website. It also got a wide release, which is remarkable. If it is in your area, go see it. We do a lot of complaining about the leftist tilt of the film industry, so it behooves us to support a good conservative film when one appears.

We saw it a couple of days ago. It is solid and funny in parts. A lot of people are calling it a Borat style mockumentary. Not having seen the Borat movies, I have to punt on that, but my sense is that it is closer to a straight documentary, Matt Walsh’s funny disguise with the wig and manbun notwithstanding. Basically, he puts a microphone in front of people, asks them simple questions, and lets them talk. The DEI types come across as total idiots, but you already knew that. And he engages in some pretty great trolling.

Getting Robin D’Angelo to pay reparations to one of his crew, who is blackish, is outstanding.

The film was released September 13 and made back its $3 million cost the first weekend. It is now approaching 4x its budget. It is in record breaking territory for a documentary and may end up as the top documentary of the year.

Viewer ratings are extremely high. Obviously conservatives are turning out. The interesting angle to me is the obviously orchestrated blackout by the critics. As of now, there are only 12 critics reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and all are from the little guys — the YouTube freelancers, etc. The big thing to note is that NOT ONE of RT’s “top critics” has reviewed the film — or if they have, RT isn’t publishing them.

NOT ONE. For the top documentary of the year. That’s not a coincidence and it’s not just the dominant LeftWorld tilt of the tribe. That’s an organized, disciplined silencing. One would ordinarily expect a scattering of contrarians, a few independent thinkers, and a slew of lefty critics who review the film to savage it. But ZERO reviews from the top critics? Impossible unless an order has gone out and is being enforced. I’d like to know the story on that.

RT is not independent. It is owned by Fandango (Comcast) and Warner Bros Discovery.

Matt Walsh has been pointing out that several major liberal publications have indeed reported on the film, but with pieces written by news or feature writers. NONE of the movie critics from those same publications have reviewed the movie. Occam’s Razor suggests either that RT has put out the word that the critics will lose their platform if they touch it, or alternatively, RT is simply refusing to print top critic’s reviews. But the censorship seems to me to be obvious.

40 times less? Who writes this crap? Forty times $120 million is $4.8 billion. $120 million less $4.8 billion is a negative $4.68 billion. 1/40th the cost maybe. But not forty times less.
