Most people think that Hollywood has lost its ever-loving mind. But what if it hasn't? What if Hollywood is doing what it has been doing for a reason, and it has a lot less to do with entertainment than something else? This has resulted in the utter destruction of beloved characters, movies, and series and their replacement with a long line of poorly written Mary Sue characters in service to an ideology.
Thank you to @nerdrotic for joining us on this episode!

0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Making the Argument. I am your host, of course, Nick Freitas, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, but other than that, a reasonably good guy. |
0:08.6 | I do not have my usual cohorts with me today because we have a very, very important guest, very special guests. |
0:16.4 | I'm really excited about this. I've been fanboying a little bit because what we're going to talk about today is what in the living hell is going on in Hollywood. And some people have come to the conclusion |
0:26.8 | that Hollywood just lost its mind, right? It's always been a little bit quirky, but now it's just |
0:31.3 | crazy. And I'm going to submit to you that I don't know that that's actually what's going on. |
0:35.7 | I don't know that they have lost their mind. In fact, I think the far more maybe dangerous prospect here is that they know exactly |
0:43.0 | what they're doing, which is pretty terrifying when you consider the fact that they have just done |
0:47.7 | their level best over the last several years on killing some of the characters that we grew up with |
0:53.7 | that we love, some of the series, |

1:14.1 | I just thought, again, is this just sucky writing or something else going on here? |
1:17.8 | And I come across this channel, right? |
1:20.4 | This channel called Nerdrotic. |
1:22.5 | And all of a sudden, this guy is just explained, this guy is verbalizing everything that I had been frustrated |
1:28.9 | about within the entertainment industry. And not only is he talking about some of the nuances with |
1:35.1 | respect to things that are doing that we just kind of don't like, we find irritating. But he's actually |
1:40.0 | going beyond kind of that superficial analysis and asking really important |
1:44.6 | questions about what's going on and then offering some suggestions on why it's going on that |
1:49.3 | we just felt incredibly intriguing. So Gary, thank you very much for joining us today, |
