Will Snow White Be A Woke Flop? · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  So is there a better example right now of the dysfunction brought on by woke
• 0:06
  ideological capture than Disney? Because Disney absolutely has gone woke, and it looks
• 0:12
  like Disney is going broke and they can't seem to figure it out. And
• 0:16
  I keep seeing stories like this, the four flops of twenty twenty three that
• 0:20
  cost Disney one billion. Analyst estimates that Disney has lost nine hundred million on
• 0:26
  last eight studio releases. How about this one. Disney loses billions at the
• 0:32
  box office. Now they're not all saying the exact same thing, but they're
• 0:36
  painting the same picture. The Walt Disney Company has had a rough time at
• 0:40
  the box office for a year and a half. Poor numbers with Indiana Jones
• 0:44
  and The Dial of Destiny, Strange World, Light Year, and others have
• 0:49
  caused the studio to lose hundreds of millions with each film. Looks like a
• 0:53
  Haunted Mansion is going to bomb as well. The film may lose the studio
• 0:57
  another two hundred and twenty five million, bringing Disney's total to a nearly two
• 1:02
  billion loss at the box office over the past fifteen months. Yeah, it
• 1:07
  seems like pretty much everything they're doing is failing, And it makes one wonder
• 1:11
  if taking a family brand, a company that makes family entertainment, and then
• 1:17
  deciding to very proudly announce yourself as essentially part of the woke revolution, maybe,
• 1:23
  just maybe for a family brand, that's not a great idea. Not
• 1:27
  when parents are angry already about drag queens reading to kindergarteners and teachers telling their
• 1:34
  kids they may be born in the wrong body. Maybe you don't want to
• 1:37
  be viewed as part of that revolution. And yet apparently they just can't stop.
• 1:42
  They don't seem to know what else to do here. Backlash two snow
• 1:47
  White actress woke comments could tank Disney remake. Experts say, well, I
• 1:53
  think the trend, at least for Disney has been set. Disney has made
• 1:57
  a bad name for itself, and at this point it's gonna take an about
• 2:01
  face for Disney, a very vocal one, for them to win back trust.
• 2:07
  And this ain't gonna do it. So before we even get into the
• 2:09
  comments, I mean, we just have to start with the casting. I
• 2:12
  mean snow White, Well Shane, all that snow White issue would seem to
• 2:16
  be a pretty important detail in the story of snow White, and then another
• 2:22
  very important casting choice, and Disney's live action Snow White under fire for replacing
• 2:29
  seven dwarfs with magical creatures of all sizes and genders, because I guess dwarfs
• 2:35
  playing dwarfs in a movie that has dwarfs in it is offensive somehow, So
• 2:40
  they've got one dwarf now. And then I guess, like, I don't
• 2:45
  know six Berkeley Gender Studies majors, so I mean, just not off to
• 2:50
  a good start, right, And then we get to this. I was
• 2:54
  scared of the original cartoon. I think I watched it once and then I
• 2:58
  never picked it up again, like I'm I'm so serious. I watched it
• 3:00
  once and then I went on the ride in Disney World, which was called
• 3:05
  snow White Scary Adventures. Doesn't sound like something a little kid would like.
• 3:09
  Was terrified of it. Never revisited snow Wait again. So I watched it
• 3:14
  for the first time in probably sixteen seventeen years when I was doing this.
• 3:20
  So snow White isn't a fan of snow White, Okay. The original cartoon
• 3:25
  came out in nineteen thirty seven, and very evidently, so yeah, very
• 3:30
  evidently, so I guess that's why it's been so hated through the decades right
• 3:36
  up to today, and why they're remaking it now. There's a big focus
• 3:39
  on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. Weird,
• 3:46
  So we didn't do that this time. Cast a guy in the movie
• 3:50
  Andrew Burnap great dude, while of Andrewstines could get cut. Who knows it's
• 3:53
  Hollywood baby. Yeah, so the Prince might not be in the movie.
• 3:57
  And the whole thing is just so dated old. I mean, all those
• 4:00
  little girls who liked it back in the thirties and ever since then they must
• 4:04
  all be idiots, right, or maybe they have internalized patriarchy. But anyway,
• 4:10
  let's get to know Rachel Zegler even better. I'm going to stand there
• 4:14
  are fewteen hours in a present of an iconic Disney princess side of their few
• 4:17
  papers for every hour letting his streamed online. So she's being paid millions of
• 4:21
  dollars and having at the door held wide open four for a career in film
• 4:27
  to make millions of more dollars. I don't know. It feels a little
• 4:30
  bit ungrateful to me and a little bit unlikable, especially for people who aren't
• 4:35
  one of the most privileged people in the world. It's no longer nineteen thirty
• 4:39
  seven, and we absolutely wrote a snow white that is not going to be
• 4:43
  alived by the Prince. He's not going to be saved with the prince,
• 4:46
  and she's not going to be dreaming about true love. She's dreaming about becoming
• 4:49
  the leaders she knows she can be, and the leader that her late father
• 4:53
  told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave,
• 4:55
  and true. Reality is that the cartoon was made eighty five. Yeah,
• 4:59
  that's right, because people and females especially hate the idea of true love.
• 5:03
  Who gross, It's obviously so ridiculous. There's obviously nothing timeless about these kinds
• 5:11
  of stories, something that would have made them enduring classics for decades. No,
• 5:16
  every girl has to be taught that what they really want is to climb
• 5:19
  the corporate ladder. And when that doesn't work out, because not everybody is
• 5:24
  obviously going to be a CEO, they'll still have their one bedroom apartment.
• 5:28
  And I guess all of those cats, I mean all at all. It's
• 5:31
  just a totally inspiring message, isn't it. Now. I don't actually think
• 5:35
  we should be too hard on the actress because she's young, and I know
• 5:41
  when I was that age, I was at least as much of an idiot
• 5:45
  as she is, probably more so. She's young, she's around a Hollywood
• 5:48
  crowd. She didn't write the script. She's not deciding on if the Princes
• 5:55
  cut from the movie, or whether or not the dwarfs or Dwarfs. She's
• 5:59
  very likely just regurgitating everything she's been told by the producers, by the director,
• 6:03
  by the writers. And if they told her how important it was to
• 6:08
  honor the original content with a faithful read telling, you know, she'd say
• 6:13
  that, or she would if she wanted to keep the role. I'm assuming.
• 6:16
  But while we're on the topic of the people who are actually making this
• 6:19
  movie and the people who decided that Snow white, who's supposed to be white
• 6:24
  as snow. I mean, it's right in the name there, the people
• 6:28
  who decided that snow white that should not be white as snow. I have
• 6:30
  to wonder, why stop? Why stop there? I mean, this is
• 6:34
  an attractive, thin, young actress. Are they not promoting thin privilege?
• 6:41
  I mean, obviously there will be some who will watch this movie and find
• 6:45
  her lithe figure positively oppressive. I mean, was Lizzo too busy? Because
• 6:49
  look, I mean, the clear message from this is that snow White has
• 6:54
  always been just well, too darn white. But I'm going to go step
• 6:58
  further and say she's also just been too beautiful. And people who aren't beautiful
• 7:02
  seeing people that are beautiful it makes them feel bad, And surely that's got
• 7:08
  to be oppression somehow, right, I mean, that's probably the patriarchy,
• 7:13
  I'm assuming. So I feel like Get Wike Go Broke coming on. It
• 7:16
  may not have even mattered if they hadn't done this with this movie, because
• 7:20
  the Disney brand is so tarnished at this point from their past woke indulgences.
• 7:26
  But I think this kind of stuff, this guarantees it and good. I
• 7:30
  want Disney to go out of business. I wanted to disappear and be a
• 7:32
  warning to everybody else. And if you enjoy watching a good Get Will Go
• 7:38
  Broke implosion, that I'm sure this movie is guaranteed to entertain anyway. That's
• 7:43
  all I got to say about that. Please subscribe, like and share here
• 7:46
  really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see you
• 7:48
  next time. M
