I saw it this weekend. It's great. It is actually more sensitive to the topic than I imagined; such absurdity as exists comes from the DEI practitioners themselves. Matt Walsh appeared willing to be convinced there's a problem if ordinary people expressed there was a problem. But the "man on the street" interviews showed no significant racism, or none at all. There was a time back in the 1960's and earlier when racism was definitely a thing.
The best part about this movie is that Matt isn’t even making fun of these people. He doesn’t crack any jokes about them or any of that, he just simply lets them talk
@@Incomudro1963 Nah, Matt would literally be booted out of an amateur improv class. You're seeing the movie through a specific lens because you align with his political views.

The difference between Walsh and Cohen’s work is that Sasha tends to punch down and targets “normal, everyday” folk. While Matt tends to punch up. I’ve stopped going to the movie theatre all together (nothing out there is worth the trip/cost) but I am going to see this film.

Yeah, this is nothing new. What perhaps is, or at least is far more prevalent today, is how many white people are also now in the business of keeping racism alive. If you're called racist, probably 9 times out of 10 it's coming from another white person. Racism is handy because it allows them to look down on others and gives them a feeling of moral superiority. They don't want to lose that any more than others want to lose their grievances.

While I have no doubt that some of them are extorted, and some of the proactively change to avoid being a target of extortion, let's not kid ourselves: there are plenty of companies who want to get in with the 'current thing' and also those who do believe the claims of the extorters that they really help productivity and the like. The gullible are certainly out there!
It typically starts with extortion, yes, however the infection spreads and becomes a core institutional value. "Our culture" is the term used at my job. They think that by cramming more than just the DEI/ESG crap into what "our culture" is, they can somehow retaliate against *any* arguments against the wokeness as it would be characterized as against the company itself. My point is, don't give a pass to companies that willfully adopt this charade.
@@Mereologist It sure is a combination of the passively gullible and the intentionally gullible; the first are buy into the hoax without any prodding due to a complete lack of either common sense or a moral compass, the latter convince themselves into believing the hoax because they think they'll somehow profit from it due to no integrity and blind greed. Both are contemptible.
I respectfully disagree about that Castro part. Remember back when Justin grew that pathetically sparce beard. Now picture Fidel.

I live in Seattle, a Bolshevik, DEI worshipping, dystopian hellscape and I was amazed to see the big theaters are showing it. No protests either, which is odd.

@5:04 They're not victims. This was done via their regular "work", publicly and with their own consent - they accepted the money and did what they always do.
Well, I'm a Canadian Daily Wire subscriber and so there was no way I wasn't going to see this on day one. Very glad it screened north of the 48. I went to the noon showing on Friday the 13th, opening day. There were only 10 of us in the audience. A youngish looking couple in their 20s, who laughed the loudest, a single woman, a middle aged couple, a single older gentleman, and two homeless fellows who coughed through the film and left 20 minutes early. All appeared to be caucasian though the homeless fellers were so dirty one couldn't tell in the dark. When Thomas Sowell's quote about racism came on the screen, the middle aged woman shouted YES and applauded. It was a small audience, but the film was well received. I laughed out loud at the reparations bit and when the whips came out, among others. I think very much that those who need to see this the most, will not. As Riley Gaines said, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Or was that Libs of TikTok? There's been no press for this in Canada - partly probably because Daily Wire has no real presence on this side of the border, something they should fix instead of simply calling us "America's evil top hat."
@@mariposa9506 Landmark Cinemas and Cineplex both have it on their websites. Looks like it is currently showing at a number of Cineplex sites in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon) to name just a few.

Thanks for demonstrating the guts to air your positive review, Paul!
As a grateful thank you to Matt, and as a way to make up for the unfair manipulation of the public's freedom to see movies in all slated theaters, I propose that all Matt Walsh fans take a vow to see his new film at least FOUR times. Such a gift to Matt and his crew will help insure that more truth based films are produced by The Blaze in the future. Thank you to those who will spread this proposal...
There is no logic behind a workshop that addresses the racism in its attendees. If you do not want to be a racist, then you stop with the racist behavior. That's all there is to it. No workshop required. Racism has no chemical or psychological dependance like alcohol or for that matter, anger issues. It's more like deciding to stop eating McDonald's hamburgers.
What if you were never racist to begin with, but everyone tells you that you are? What if those telling you that you are racist are the ones who are actually racist? Can you live with those realities?
Went to see AIR today and also cringed and laughed. One of the best scenes was DiAngelo defining "mansplaining" and Walsh correcting her by mansplaining what it "really means". Plus his final revelation at the end, answering the title question, was worth the price of admission.
Theaters been doing pretty poorly lately. I guess they're more flexible on getting asses in seats these days. The big studios caused it. Our efforts of not going to see crap is working.
His documentaries are hands down his best work, he might be cringe in his daily episodes sometimes especially when talking about media and entertainment (movies/animation/games) but when put side-by-side with a an unhinged crazy leftist Matt is suddenly the sanest most rational human on earth in comparison 😅
I really want to watch "Am I Racist" now! It's the same as "Snow White and the Evil Queen," starring Brett Cooper. I will watch that next year to spite Disney and their "intolerable girl boss" version.
This looks really interesting. Personally, I'm a lot less fearful of the word "Racist" than many people are. True stories about real, actual people that I've associated with in my lifetime, invited into my parent's home and hung out with as a young person proves to me that racism isn't just a thing that "White People" do. Blacks especially are frequently extremely racist, they're just really duplicitous about it. Sometimes, stereotypes turn out to be true.
Every time I see the title, "Am I a racist", I always think of that youtube clip where a british guy is saying, "I hear you're a racist, father!" Every. Single. Time.
I worked several times for many years in Africa. Not to make this too long: I always said whatever I wanted, played with stereotypes, called the people racist names for the sake of pointing out the elephant in the room ... and guess what, I never had one indigenous person ever complain, argue or hate me. Why? Because I am NOT a racist and words are not violence and in the end playing with hot potatoes can be fun and games. Everything is CONTEXT. Yes .. E-VE-RY-THING. My advice? Be yourself, say what you want to say, stand your ground, your personality will always win. And never listen to others when it comes how you should look like, talk like ... or think like !!!

When that lady went to get money out of her purse to give to the black person as “reparations”, I have no idea how no one in the room bursted out laughing. They deserve an Oscar for that level of control in acting.
The saddest thing is that, while diminished, racism does still exist and actual victims of actual racism, will only have a harder time finding justice, because of the grifters.
When I ran a company with dozens of people. There was no requirement to not be a racist, just to not act like one and respect the work everyone did. Being friends was not a requirement but it seems to be one now. Feeings.
I am in BC. In the last few days, I’ve started getting RUclips ads for “have you been involved in a racist incident?“ And there’s some kind of website and phone number to report to. It’s a five second long ad. I have never seen anything like it before. Any other provinces doing this? Thank you for the video! 🙏

@@josephfisher426 public high schools are responsible for 99% of the problems we have with race relations in America imho lol, some of them are like Penitentiaries
The movie works in the same way LibsOfTikTok does. Merely presenting these dominant liberal figures as themselves... and being absolutely hated for doing so. The brilliance of the movie also resides in the liberal spherical response outside the film. It's amazing how instead of being made aware and fixing it; many liberal commentators go on the offense and blame Matt as being a terrible person. They see a movie that shows how insane they are and say "HE'S RACIST!!" They get offensive and can't humble themselves. Unlike conservatives pundits that are shown bad people on their side... then are expected to (and do) excommunicate those bad people.
I'm a little bit surprised that an independent, decidedly politically incorrect movie would make it into theaters. Apparently, yes. And I thought there might be picketers in front of theaters. Apparently not.
It is by design. The Reagan movie is out, Beetlejuice 2 is old school and picks on modern idiocy, woke games and films are failing... The enemy causes these shifts every so many decades.
When delusion is on display these loonies recognize it too. So they go hide and call names and point fingers when they're in their "safe space" hence why they need safe spaces in the first place.
I'm wired the same way, with a strong empathetic cringe reflex. I actually love Sacha Baron Cohen's work, especially the earlier stuff, but I have to watch it at home so I can pause it frequently.
Bravo man, one of the best reviews of this production 👍 great work (same for Walsh),the grifters in this film are disgusting, and I'm almost embarrassed FOR them,but nah,,,,they'll live with it and the Gods see everything going on,we'll all pray for their souls
I can point to a popular mainstream racist ideology that pushes the idea of a conspiracy to suppress a group of people based on skin color by denying that those people with that skin color invented everything and are responsible for all the good things in history, while everyone else is responsible for all the bad things, but to deny that absurd string of racist assertions will get you labeled as racist.
The cringe really was insane 💀 brings me back to the days of Michael Scott in the office. Very funny movie, good message. Matt's good at what he does, and props to his producers for making it look like they had 10x their budget
Feels like a bait and switch movie, but this is the movie that industry needed : cheap, doable, and thought provoke than average movie that force dei on the viewer.
Satire is so powerful. Mocking and belittling stupid ideas dressed up in fancy language and garbed in the nice, the normal, and the righteous is a rare talent and one that should be encouraged. Political satire in my country has degenerated into partisan sledging, so it doesn't really work as intended - it reinforces the crud. Australia still has some wit and courage. UK not at all. No idea about Canada. "Freedom to ridicule and expose" is an important right.
I've been going around RUclips listening to whoever would review this film. Have never watched you before. Best review I've seen so far because you are hilarious. Going to check out some of your other videos.
I might watching the movie but I don't know if I could stand watching these people talk for that long. Maybe if it was streamed where I could walkaway for a while and them come back?
I'm with you, Paul, on the "mockumentary" style. If everyone is in on the joke, then it's funny. If one group of people are in on the joke and the others aren't, then it's not funny. It's dishonest at best, cruel at worst.
"A conservative made the movie, but the DEI grifters wrote the script". This was the best line. Paraphrased
It was such a shock that Walsh’s co-stars in the movie just turned around and trashed it. It’s like the were embarrassed to be a part of it!

While I have no doubt that some of them are extorted, and some of the proactively change to avoid being a target of extortion, let's not kid ourselves: there are plenty of companies who want to get in with the 'current thing' and also those who do believe the claims of the extorters that they really help productivity and the like. The gullible are certainly out there!
It typically starts with extortion, yes, however the infection spreads and becomes a core institutional value. "Our culture" is the term used at my job. They think that by cramming more than just the DEI/ESG crap into what "our culture" is, they can somehow retaliate against *any* arguments against the wokeness as it would be characterized as against the company itself. My point is, don't give a pass to companies that willfully adopt this charade.
It's Stockholm Syndrome at this point. They've been captured and abused and now love their captors.
@@Mereologist It sure is a combination of the passively gullible and the intentionally gullible; the first are buy into the hoax without any prodding due to a complete lack of either common sense or a moral compass, the latter convince themselves into believing the hoax because they think they'll somehow profit from it due to no integrity and blind greed. Both are contemptible.
Thank you, Paul! It's nice to finally see you enthusiastic about a film, you have had to sit through a lot of crapola lately.
They don't just hate the US. They aren't exactly fond of Canadians with ideas of liberty, either- although they do love Castro Jr., Trudeau.
I respectfully disagree about that Castro part.
Remember back when Justin grew that pathetically sparce beard.
Now picture Fidel.
I don't care for Senor Castro's politics, but the man had a fine set of whiskers, I'll give him that
Senor Trudeau, though...
Nope, that was not a Castro beard.
Sorta sad, really
We don't like Trudeau
This is Wrongspeak! How dare you question Dear Leader Justin's wisdom!! I am OUTRAGED!!!
STAMP OUT THE WEF!
I'm Canadian and (old school) liberal. I can tell you that many liberals have had it with Trudeau's woke nonsense, especially immigration.
For something that wasn't even on my radar, you do make it sound fun.
I love your work dude, and you look great for 70!
If only my local theatres would play this movie…
What? It's in all my local theatres. Are your theatres banning it? That is insane.
I live in Seattle, a Bolshevik, DEI worshipping, dystopian hellscape and I was amazed to see the big theaters are showing it. No protests either, which is odd.
@@youtubecensors5419 no reported arson by antifa yet?
I'm in Kingston a hot bed of brain dead university students who once blocked an entire street for a free Palestine movement both my landmark and Cineplex are screening it.

@5:04 They're not victims. This was done via their regular "work", publicly and with their own consent - they accepted the money and did what they always do.
Well, I'm a Canadian Daily Wire subscriber and so there was no way I wasn't going to see this on day one. Very glad it screened north of the 48. I went to the noon showing on Friday the 13th, opening day. There were only 10 of us in the audience. A youngish looking couple in their 20s, who laughed the loudest, a single woman, a middle aged couple, a single older gentleman, and two homeless fellows who coughed through the film and left 20 minutes early. All appeared to be caucasian though the homeless fellers were so dirty one couldn't tell in the dark. When Thomas Sowell's quote about racism came on the screen, the middle aged woman shouted YES and applauded. It was a small audience, but the film was well received. I laughed out loud at the reparations bit and when the whips came out, among others. I think very much that those who need to see this the most, will not. As Riley Gaines said, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Or was that Libs of TikTok? There's been no press for this in Canada - partly probably because Daily Wire has no real presence on this side of the border, something they should fix instead of simply calling us "America's evil top hat."
@@HandGrenadeDivision where did you watch it? It's not in my area.
@@mariposa9506 Landmark Cinemas and Cineplex both have it on their websites. Looks like it is currently showing at a number of Cineplex sites in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon) to name just a few.
Kingston Ontario has it
Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity - those words mean something entirely different to those who promote that ideology than what they mean to me. I am not 'included' for one therefore 'diversity' is nullified and there is no such thing as equity in outcome (or income).
Saw it with 3 friends yesterday (in Los Angeles)... theater was maybe 2/3 full, including a very mixed crowd. Admittedly, I didn't take in Deadpool & Wolverine, but I 6:10 haven't laughed that much, or HEARD that much laughter, in a theater in a while. Thanks for demonstrating the guts to air your positive review, Paul!
“Confirmation bias circles” …. Exactly correct.
The *Black* Zeus of racism, X. Kendi 😂
@@skibidi.G erm, what the sigma?
As a grateful thank you to Matt, and as a way to make up for the unfair manipulation of the public's freedom to see movies in all slated theaters, I propose that all Matt Walsh fans take a vow to see his new film at least FOUR times. Such a gift to Matt and his crew will help insure that more truth based films are produced by The Blaze in the future. Thank you to those who will spread this proposal...
I’ve never laughed as hard as I did watching this movie. It was amazing.
Great tie in to the pharma industry. Perfectly said.
Remember the woman that charged $50,000 for an interview and said nothing...
There is no logic behind a workshop that addresses the racism in its attendees. If you do not want to be a racist, then you stop with the racist behavior. That's all there is to it. No workshop required. Racism has no chemical or psychological dependance like alcohol or for that matter, anger issues. It's more like deciding to stop eating McDonald's hamburgers.
It’s the self-flagellation that they want
What if you were never racist to begin with, but everyone tells you that you are?
What if those telling you that you are racist are the ones who are actually racist?
Can you live with those realities?
@contumelious-8440 Racism is a behavior that can be voluntarily stopped at any time without guidance. It _is_ possible to not realize that.
Went to see AIR today and also cringed and laughed. One of the best scenes was DiAngelo defining "mansplaining" and Walsh correcting her by mansplaining what it "really means". Plus his final revelation at the end, answering the title question, was worth the price of admission.
Most people missed that. I laughed out loud.
That part was so beautifully subtle and well done.
If you hire ghost hunters, they will find a ghost.
They will 'document' how thoroughly they hunted for the sake of your money anyway.
ghosts are white.. just sayin'.
Merchants of Manure - needs to go viral !!!!
As a brown person, I fully support Matt’s comedy😂 DEI sucks!
I’m surprised any Canadian theatres would pick it up
We were clearly fooled.
Theaters been doing pretty poorly lately. I guess they're more flexible on getting asses in seats these days. The big studios caused it. Our efforts of not going to see crap is working.
@@NefariousKoelI was surprised landmark and Cineplex in Kingston was showing it. Remember this is Kingston Ontario home of Queens university. 😊
Theaters in Canada are showing it. I saw it about 2 weeks ago.
His documentaries are hands down his best work, he might be cringe in his daily episodes sometimes especially when talking about media and entertainment (movies/animation/games) but when put side-by-side with a an unhinged crazy leftist Matt is suddenly the sanest most rational human on earth in comparison 😅
Which is why I try to not shoot the messenger no matter what side they come from.
I've seen reports of cinemas pulling this movie from theatres, for 'reasons'....
🍄
I really want to watch "Am I Racist" now! It's the same as "Snow White and the Evil Queen," starring Brett Cooper. I will watch that next year to spite Disney and their "intolerable girl boss" version.
Disney fucked themselves up so bad with their nonsense I will only buy their stuff second hand
What if it sucks? Don't underestimate The Daily Wire's ability to screw the pooch.
"Bud Lighting", language on the move!
Modern day witch finders... I thought we were over this grift...
Congratulations on having the balls to review this movie.
ooooh careful assuming gender bud, can never be too careful on the yewtoobs.

Glad to hear it!
Only woke people get triggered by this film
@@rosec_rose6661 *woke ninnies
they ARE the film.
I would've gone with you Paul. But I'm New Orleans Creole so I'm not sure it would've counted. Oh well., I guess it's the thought that counts.
I appreciate the thought.
I went to new Orleans this summer !
0:32 - To be fair, if you had invited Mike, it would still have been systemic racism.
I agree. This is excellent comedy and the actor/actress are precious because their roles just reflect their everyday life regardless right or wrong.
His conversation with Wilfred Reilly (the author you mentioned) was brilliant. The guy was so patient with DEI Matt.
This looks really interesting. Personally, I'm a lot less fearful of the word "Racist" than many people are. True stories about real, actual people that I've associated with in my lifetime, invited into my parent's home and hung out with as a young person proves to me that racism isn't just a thing that "White People" do. Blacks especially are frequently extremely racist, they're just really duplicitous about it. Sometimes, stereotypes turn out to be true.
Every time I see the title, "Am I a racist", I always think of that youtube clip where a british guy is saying, "I hear you're a racist, father!"
Every. Single. Time.
Irish.
@mariesimpson7613 ah yes you're right
@@alexlewis5365 That’s not the title. It’s “Am I racist?”
Wait this is out in theaters? Interesting, I didn't realize they were going that big with it.
Sadly, there is too much money to be made in descent and devision.
I worked several times for many years in Africa. Not to make this too long: I always said whatever I wanted, played with stereotypes, called the people racist names for the sake of pointing out the elephant in the room ... and guess what, I never had one indigenous person ever complain, argue or hate me. Why? Because I am NOT a racist and words are not violence and in the end playing with hot potatoes can be fun and games.
Everything is CONTEXT. Yes .. E-VE-RY-THING. My advice? Be yourself, say what you want to say, stand your ground, your personality will always win. And never listen to others when it comes how you should look like, talk like ... or think like !!!
Thanks for that review…. You wear many hats, rather well…. Kudos. A gem on the Tube you are!
Thank you kindly!
You and Critical Drinker jockey for the Top Spot on my list of Favorite and Most Trusted movie critics. Hubby and I saw the movie yesterday afternoon and loved your review. You addressed some valid points and were VERY even handed.
You have put me in great company. Thanks.
Is it bad I laughed at critical drinker recommendeds Falling down?
To quote Booker T Washington from 1911: "There is another class of ******* people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the ***** race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs - partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the ***** to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."
Obviously a KKK member.
Not unlike the Jews.
@@marwar819 Your conspiracy theory doesn't stand basic scrutiny. After all, it preaches that Trump is controlled by "the Zionists" despite the fact that he openly disparages Jews. Look it up if you don't believe me.
"... I would of paid for his ticket," got me.
When that lady went to get money out of her purse to give to the black person as “reparations”, I have no idea how no one in the room bursted out laughing. They deserve an Oscar for that level of control in acting.
The saddest thing is that, while diminished, racism does still exist and actual victims of actual racism, will only have a harder time finding justice, because of the grifters.
When I ran a company with dozens of people. There was no requirement to not be a racist, just to not act like one and respect the work everyone did. Being friends was not a requirement but it seems to be one now. Feeings.
I am in BC. In the last few days, I’ve started getting RUclips ads for “have you been involved in a racist incident?“ And there’s some kind of website and phone number to report to. It’s a five second long ad.
I have never seen anything like it before.
Any other provinces doing this?
Thank you for the video! 🙏
That is Orwellian.
It's been a while since I only interact with normal people, but can I report all the times I took the bus in high school that picked up the reprobates from the public high school?
@@josephfisher426 public high schools are responsible for 99% of the problems we have with race relations in America imho lol, some of them are like Penitentiaries
I couldn't handle the cringe in Borat, so this seems too bloodboiling to watch. I will support it in spirit.
Apparently, the film has forced Robin to show her...what's the word...oh, yes, her fragility.
And Amazon. Amazon is infested with it.
Merchants of manure! -- perfect! Bravo and I agree.😉😂
I went this morning and laughed out loud multiple times. When that lady got money to pay reparations I cracked up. 😂😂😂
The movie works in the same way LibsOfTikTok does. Merely presenting these dominant liberal figures as themselves... and being absolutely hated for doing so. The brilliance of the movie also resides in the liberal spherical response outside the film. It's amazing how instead of being made aware and fixing it; many liberal commentators go on the offense and blame Matt as being a terrible person. They see a movie that shows how insane they are and say "HE'S RACIST!!" They get offensive and can't humble themselves. Unlike conservatives pundits that are shown bad people on their side... then are expected to (and do) excommunicate those bad people.
I'm a little bit surprised that an independent, decidedly politically incorrect movie would make it into theaters. Apparently, yes. And I thought there might be picketers in front of theaters. Apparently not.
It is by design. The Reagan movie is out, Beetlejuice 2 is old school and picks on modern idiocy, woke games and films are failing... The enemy causes these shifts every so many decades.
When delusion is on display these loonies recognize it too. So they go hide and call names and point fingers when they're in their "safe space" hence why they need safe spaces in the first place.
I'm surprised Canada allowed it to be screened here. You don't know how far we've slipped here
Why? What you should be surprised by is the fact that AIR made it to theatres before Terror On The Prairie.
I'm wired the same way, with a strong empathetic cringe reflex. I actually love Sacha Baron Cohen's work, especially the earlier stuff, but I have to watch it at home so I can pause it frequently.
Same
Same. I just can't stomach second hand embarrassment.
I can’t handle second hand embarrassment at all. It’s just too much for me.
I dislike talking heads that produce drivel on behalf of our oppressors. Sasha is just another propagandist, mocking the common people.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Man, can't wait to see it, unfortunately, there's no way to watch it in Russia.
👏Smart and funny, as always.
I will follow your recommendation Paul.
Bravo man, one of the best reviews of this production 👍 great work (same for Walsh),the grifters in this film are disgusting, and I'm almost embarrassed FOR them,but nah,,,,they'll live with it and the Gods see everything going on,we'll all pray for their souls
Changing the definition of words to suit an agenda is just vocabulary gaslighting.
I can point to a popular mainstream racist ideology that pushes the idea of a conspiracy to suppress a group of people based on skin color by denying that those people with that skin color invented everything and are responsible for all the good things in history, while everyone else is responsible for all the bad things, but to deny that absurd string of racist assertions will get you labeled as racist.
"Newspeak".

The cringe really was insane 💀 brings me back to the days of Michael Scott in the office. Very funny movie, good message. Matt's good at what he does, and props to his producers for making it look like they had 10x their budget
Feels like a bait and switch movie, but this is the movie that industry needed : cheap, doable, and thought provoke than average movie that force dei on the viewer.
What is the bait and switch in this case?
@@mattturner5750 you know, that kind of Movie trying to guilt trip the viewers instead of expose movie
@@RevanR did you feel guilty watching this? That's a you issue.
@@RevanR no one who knows Matt Walsh woukd think that.
As a Canadian like chato I'm pleasantly surprised our mainstream cinemas didn't bow to pressure to remove the movie or not stream it here
This might be one of the better analysis of the film so far. Entertaining. Thanks.
Satire is so powerful. Mocking and belittling stupid ideas dressed up in fancy language and garbed in the nice, the normal, and the righteous is a rare talent and one that should be encouraged. Political satire in my country has degenerated into partisan sledging, so it doesn't really work as intended - it reinforces the crud. Australia still has some wit and courage. UK not at all. No idea about Canada. "Freedom to ridicule and expose" is an important right.
True. I’m trying my best on RUclips over at @apaulingnew.
I saw it opening night. It’s fantastic 🎉
RUclips recommended this video. The algorithm got one right. Loved your review, subscribed.
I've been going around RUclips listening to whoever would review this film. Have never watched you before. Best review I've seen so far because you are hilarious. Going to check out some of your other videos.
You nailed it again my good man 🫡👍🏻
3:00 Wilfred Reilly, author of Hate Crime Hoax, is the man you mention. He was brilliant - that was the best scene in the film, IMO.
Thanks. The credits went past so fast.
I haven't seen it, but as I said in Jeremy Jahn's video, thank you for reviewing this!
I might watching the movie but I don't know if I could stand watching these people talk for that long. Maybe if it was streamed where I could walkaway for a while and them come back?
I'm with you, Paul, on the "mockumentary" style. If everyone is in on the joke, then it's funny. If one group of people are in on the joke and the others aren't, then it's not funny. It's dishonest at best, cruel at worst.
this is what happens when financially driven corporations try to tackle matters of the spirit and mass produce them for a broad audience
You're 70? I just recently discovered you and love your stuff, so you better live forever.
