Bill Burr seems immune to Trump Derangement Syndrome. The stand-up avoids overtly political narratives, focusing on life’s little hypocrisies. Or big ones. He’s no Colbert, Kimmel or Oliver, and he hasn’t spent the past eight-plus years laser-focused on the “Apprentice” star’s every move. He’s also not afraid to poke the woke bear. He did just …

The day after the October 7 terror attacks Times Square teemed with anti-Israeli voices. And they only grew louder. “October 8” chronicles the antisemitism spike following the worst terror attack since 9/11. Director Wendy Sachs (“Surge”) connects the harrowing dots, from Hamas hijacking the Left’s talking points to the inscrutable silence of human rights groups. …

Dan Berk and Robert Olsen’s “Novocaine” is the latest post-“John Wick” thriller in which the lead is put through a physical gauntlet and the audience can ooh and aah at dazzling choreography and the sound of bones snapping. These types of movies have come a long way. The shaky cinematography and deadly serious storylines of …

Bong Joon-ho’s “Mickey 17” is bonkers in ways that initially delighted me until it wore me down and overstayed its welcome. Bong’s first film since winning the Oscar for his international success “Parasite” (2019) is the kind of big-budgeted, wildly ambitious overreach that a major studio would only give someone who found monster success and …

Punk pioneer Jello Biafra could have joined the Culture War battles at any point over the last four-plus. Free speech has been under serial attack for at least that long. Instead, the ex-Dead Kennedys frontman let others fight in the First Amendment trenches. The West needed as many pop culture warriors as possible while free speech …

Netflix may have saved comedy from the woke mob. Sound hyperbolic? Consider how close the Cancel Culture crew came to throwing Dave Chappelle under the bus. The comedian’s 2021 special, “The Closer,” featured gags aimed at the trans community. The Left declared war on Chappelle, as did the legacy media. The outcry came after George …

Woke is on the run, but it’s far from defeated. President Donald Trump’s war on DEI, with assists from field generals like Christopher Rufo and Robby Starbuck, are taking the culture back from the hard Left.

Studios shell out millions for director Bong Joon-ho to slam free markets. The Oscar winner’s latest salvo is “Mickey 17.” Once again, Joon-ho skewers capitalism as he did with “The Host,” “Okja,” “Parasite” and “Snowpiercer.” He’s like M. Night Shyamalan, but instead of twists his films are known for targeting private enterprise. His movies don’t …
