Comment on Jonathan Majors Sets Acting Comeback With Daily Wire-Produced Action Movie
doug@lemmy.today 1 week ago
For those that don’t know, Ben Shapiro’s produced movies that weren’t explicitly branded as being under The Daily Wire, including one starring Thomas Jane and Radha Mitchell.
IIRC S. Craig Zahler is suspected of getting cozy with Daily Wire as well; I can’t find anything on it right now, but reading between the lines that he has no issues casting problematic talent (i.e. Mel Gibson), and wrote a movie with near-caricatures of Native Americans, it wouldn’t surprise me.

My only familiarity with Daily Wire films are Run Hide Fight and Matt Walsh's mocumentary films.
Run Hide Fight was pretty well done, if a little bland. It's basically Die Hard in a high school. However, it's important to note that the Daily Wire had nothing to do with the film's production, they only bought the rights to it and then distributed it.
Matt Walsh's mocumentaries were fairly funny, although I do think that Am I Racist would have benefitted a lot by treating its subject more seriously, like What Is A Woman did.

…“funny” in like a this-is-so-fucking-stupid way, right?
i’ve seen enough of Walsh’s opinions from social media I ain’t giving him an iota of my money or attention.

No. Well, maybe a little, there were some gags in Am I Racist that really didn't work for me.
Anyways, if you don't like Matt Walsh or are anywhere on the left, you aren't going to like Matt Walsh's movies and I wouldn't recommend them to you.
