Reviewing Lady Ballers, The Daily Wire's Attempt at Comedy

- The Daily Wire tried to make a comedy about trans women in sports. And the result is pretty much the disaster you'd imagine it to be.
Sorry everyone for the long wait for this, but much of that was out of my hands. I'm not 100% happy with this cut of the video, but it's the best version of it I could get online. I hope people enjoy it regardless.

I'm surprised I have to clarify this, but yes, I am aware that the clip at 5:23 of Brandon Sutton saying Obama destroyed anime is a joke.
Maybe it says something that the preceding stuff by Jeremy Boreing was just as ridiculous, but the anime line still made me laugh.
Thursdays "The Majority Report" with Emma, Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton are always a treat.
it’s such awesome satire honestly. Brandon’s very funny.
I thought it was obvious it was a joke lol
Someone pointed it out to me and I had no idea. I mean, is it any more ridiculous than everything else that was said?
Tootsie?
The cast of this movie is like the Avengers of people who get cited in manifestos
OOF
OUCH!
Very true
👏🏻
Holy shit
South Park actually did this story and did it better. Cartman pretends to be disabled so he can dominate the Special Olympics. He gets in and gets destroyed in every event.
South park also did it with trans athletes lol
yeah the obvious joke here seems to be that theyd get sweeped by the female athletes anyways, but that would contradict dailywire's pearl-clutching about the whole thing
@@nem-kz3mknot as well though.
I don't watch much Olympics but wheelchair basketball and tennis is amazing. Tennis especially. They're just phenomenal athletes. Period.
@@michaelcorcoran8768 lol what? That episode was incredible. Macho man is the goat
I’m so shocked that real actors didn’t feel like committing career suicide to “own the libs.”
It's like they choose their bread and butter over the political ideals of a bunch of rambling attention seekers that imagined themselves to be big movie moguls but make movies that barely get any distribution to start with.
Makes me laugh when people who complain about being cancelled go on to make a whole career about it, doubling down on conservative talking points and are the only people who’d even consider roles like this because it’s all they can get (and not because of cancelling, but because they weren’t great actors on the first place)
Appearing in the worst movie of all time so that Ben Shapiro could feel like a real Hollywood boy
“None of the actors we approached would do the role”
You don’t see self reports like that very often
They couldn't even get Kevin Sorbo or Dean Cain?
@@PatrickWDunne Sorbo in particular is a Trump-level narcissist. When he casts himself in the villain role, it's always as some over-the-top villain who either dies tragically or is saved and becomes the hero.
He would consider the roles here to be beneath him.
Cain is probably sane enough to smell the stink of desperation in this "work" and steer clear.
right lol cuz theres tons of right wing dirtbags in hollywood so if you couldnt get ANYONE thats not just because your messaging is too edgy
They should have put matt walsh as villain. Might have worked. @@GeneralBolas
Such a massive self-own right there
It’ll never not be funny that more than half of the Daily Wire crews supervillain origin stories involve them being rejected by Hollywood
a significant portion of whom were rejected specifically as comedians
@@littlesnowflakepunk855And screen/script writers. The Daily Wire is literally an entire Loser’s Club that make garbage out of spite.
Nothing ever good happens when someone gets rejected from the arts
@@PatrickWDunneYour syntax is wack
I found out yesterday that Trump was also rejected from film school. That was his first career choice. He applied to USC (SoCal), they had Spielberg and Co. there and went "nah" so he had to go to remedial Fordham. Then got his dad's childhood friend to get him into Wharton despite having poor grades.
"We were going to do it as a documentary, but found out you can't actually do this... But this is a real problem that is really happening in the real world"
Still defending an argument after it blew up in your face.
Someone else said something like: "It has the energy of a flat earther doing an experiment, proving the earth is round, and still publishing the experiment anyway."
@@heywoodjablome5380😂👍
no way they censored the bad words in their own edgy irreverant comedy movie
my thoughts exavtly 💀 nice pfp by the way :)
They wanna be raunchy but bad words cross the line 🙄
I guess it was Shapiro (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) who said the f-words. He only made himself more cringe by saying them. Had he not used the swear words, he still would have looked like a little tool but slightly less.
Yeah it's because Ben Shapiro believes that whenever you swear it causes God to cry and that's where rain comes from
@@Rosie-co9wbBen is a dumbass
>The most triggering comedy of the year
>bleeps the F word
Of course they use triggering, the whole “triggering the libs” thing is getting old
@@RachRach107 Libs are triggered by actual good content and high professional standard, so the dailywire sets out to create the most asininely terrible to trigger the libs.
@bachpham6862 Gee, I sure do hope beyond the spiderverse doesn't release this year. I would be soo triggered you guys. Absolutely furious hoo boy
Bleeping Ben Shapiro triggered a laughter out of me...
Well yeah, you can be as transphobic as you want but swearing is classless and unacceptable.
The genuine pain of Alex followed by being physically assaulted back into the closet was so surprising to me. Just full mask off, I think that physically assaulting someone who expressing that they aren't they gender they were assigned a birth is not only okay, but funny.
They unintentionally wrote a trans character who has to go through the pain of having their closest friends force them back into the closet via literal violence. That's such a powerful condemnation of the Daily Wire's worldview and the idiots who wrote this didn't seem to notice.
I refuse to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe that was unintentional. These are hateful, hateful men, who made a movie about a man violently beating the shit out of women and called it a fucking _comedy._ They think the idea of a trans person pouring their heart out and then being beaten into submission is the funniest fucking thing on planet Earth.
Yeah it’s so obvious in that moment that they don’t care about women’s sports or to ‘protect the kids’, they’re just using that as an excuse to be transphobic
I hate using the word evil in political or media contexts, it’s just too complicated for that, but that scene and what it reflects in the creators is truly evil
"You see Transgenders, I have drawn you as the soyjack and myself as the Chad."
- Jeremy Boring
Pretty much what transphobic arguments boil down to these days
The only time Boring could ever win over a trans woman professional athlete
Goddamn, he really blew us tf out. Will we ever recover? 😭
@@butHomeisNowhere___ it's okay we have our partners to go home to still whereas the daily wire guys are either divorced or soon to be divorced
Dude's last name is literally Boring, no wonder barely anyone talked about this thing
They "uncancelled" Gina Carano but haven't hired her back since
Of course not. It was a publicity stunt, playing to the crowd. Carano is no longer politically useful to them, so after giving her a film, they kicked her to the curb.
@@GeneralBolasman, Carano is really good at getting hired once and then never again
She might have been bette rin that movie than most "actors,
Gina has to be one of the greatest examples of fumbling the bag. She was going to get her own series in freaking Star Wars.
It’s because their own audience turned against her. I saw conservatives complaining that her daily wire movie was “woke” because it had a leading woman in an action role. They didn’t like that.
Fun fact: This movie was shot in Nashville last year and they sent out a call for background actors. At the time I looked into it because I had done background work before and the website said very little about the film, just that it was a comedy involving basketball and they needed extras to fill the stands. No title, no plot details, and no mention that The Daily Wire was involved. I almost took the job until I saw a different background actor post a warning on Facebook about what the movie actually was. I’m very grateful I saw that warning in time.
Taking money from the Daily Wire doesn't hurt anyone (unless they can't find any extras to fill the slots and can't make the movie, which is unlikely), means you have more money, means DW has less, and might give you a path to infiltrating other conservative spots.
@@thewhitefalcon8539 maybe he doesn't want to be a spy?
@@thewhitefalcon8539maybe some people would rather not be in a transphobic movie than make a few bucks as an extra on a dailywire movie? I think it's telling that they couldn't get real actors to play any roles in this film and had to hide their true intentions and plot of the movie to get extras in the first plsce
Idk, I'd be at least tempted, just for the lolz, but I understand why you wouldn't~
They’d probably argue “we had plenty of extra signing up” but didn’t tell anyone knowing a lot wouldn’t have shown up if they knew in the first place. They’re aware how bad their reputation is if they need to lie
i know he's being sort of tongue-in-cheek when he says obama destroyed "rock and roll, comedy, and america" but does he seriously legitimately think there is a direct causal relationship between obama becoming president and everybody getting sick of the raunchy 2000's comedy movies he likes? not just, like, the passage of time or whatever?
Yes.
They will go out of their way to blame Obama for everything except anything he actually did
the guy blaming obama for sword art online was way funnier tbh (Thanks obama)
Then I must profoundly thank Obama if those Seltzer-Friedberg shallow "parodies" and other terrible 2000s comedy movies are no longer around. Or perhaps I should thank You Tube.
@@lylathecreator5893 Brandon Sutton from The Majority Report. Dude is absolutely hilarious.
Who's going to tell Shapiro that just because a film has themes , it doesn't mean that it's woke
themes and motifs are liberal propaganda from those woke leftists
Most people with that knowledge would prefer not to have a conversation with him.
Clumsily done agenda pushing or moral posturing to the point that it takes you out of the movie is what makes things woke. “Can’t wait to see this empowered black lesbian put her mean white man counterpart to shame.” It is formulaic and obtuse my dude
real
Has Ben ever read George Orwell?
For me the most depressing thing about this movie is telling that little girl that boys are better at everything she wants to do but don’t worry you can have babies. What a tragedy that some of these men have daughters.
And that she can civilize a man as if we're talking about taming a wild dog. 💀
Single fathers are more success at raising children than single mothers by all metrics
What happens if his kid for some reason grows up & doesn't give birth if that's the only thing he values her? & the shot of the Mom being all "ah, so cute + true" when she overhears this instead of "yup & that's why we're divorcing & thanks for the bajillion hours of therapy our kid will need".
No self-respecting woman would take they're ex-husband back after they told their daughter that.
@@picahudsoniaunflocked5426 truly shows how conservatives don’t actually care about the well-being of children and women.
Pasta used to taste good until Obama ruined it.
I know right! They literally said there hasn’t been a true comedy made since Barack Obama became president 5:08
I had to look up the release date for one of my favorite comedy movies, Pineapple Express. It was released in 2008. The year Obama was elected president 😂
My dad used to love me until Obama made him go out for milk
@@SarastistheSerpentOooo, you’re so edgy! 🙄
😂🤣😂 Well played… 🤣😂🤣
Silent films used to be great until Obama forced Hollywood to go all in on talkies.
There’s something so unsettling about a grown man telling his preteen daughter that her value comes from being a counterpart to men. I can’t imagine writing a scene like that and casting myself in the role, essentially telling my kid straight to her face that she’ll never be as good as a boy and she shouldn’t wanna accomplish masculine things in the first place. Absolute goblin behavior.
Make no mistake, these aren’t your normal right-wingers anymore. They are fascist and they ultimately want say in how you raise your child. They do not believe in democracy nor freedom of choice. This is evident by their actions and their own words. They want a Christian Fascist state, like the a Christian version of the Taliban.
It like the tradwife thing its isn't about being a housewife is better for women it about enforcing nonsense gender roles and patriarchy also add that a househusband isn't view as positively and also that type of lifestyle isn't fit for everyone and imo most men and women aren't going to happy being just that because I think most people want to have a family and have kids bit also follow their dream and careers
They truly believe it so they think they're helping, although it is the farthest thing from helpful.
it's fucking creepy to write a scene where a father tells his 10 year old daughter that one of her shining values is giving birth
@@stellviahohenheimYou clearly don’t get it
If "no one watches women's sports" and no one respects them as the DW implies, then why would people go through the trouble of pretending to be a woman?
Like... nobody cared about women's sports, but now trans people are in and suddenly it's just as important as men's sports to these people
Came here to say that we were just back home in KC and found out they've got the first soccer stadium purpose-built for the female team - like, in the world. And it's very fucking cool. Stay classy, KC.
Edit: Quick update, so I decided to look up any articles about the KC Current's new stadium and found out the damn thing was almost entirely privately funded. No taxpayer handouts here - at least not to the level of something like LA paying for an entirely new stadium so the Chargers can tell San Diego to go fuck themselves (I grew up in San Diego so that one is kinda personal. I mean, at least the Rams were originally from there - and St. Louis *still* managed to get like $280 million dollars out of them for going back to their ex just to get a shiny new stadium. Sorry, Rams, I guess St. Louis just believes new stadiums are something you earn by actually being relevant during the season.)
Also relevant, the AP article I found actually included a brief history of women's soccer: it started during WWI, where it got pretty damn popular - bringing in 50k crowds. However, the Football Association was apparently "threatened by the success and decided the game was 'quite unsuitable for females'" - instituting a ban that would last more than 50 years. So yeah, there was once a rather large audience for women's soccer. And I can see how it might take some time to build back that momentum, while simultaneously fighting against over half a century of institutionalized irrelevance. Anyway, the more you know huh?
It's an easy win for losers who couldn't make it fairly as men.
“As it turns out, most ladies’ leagues don’t allow any actual men, and [the actors] weren’t willing to go the full distance in terms of what it would require, the actual hormone treatments, to actually play in ladies’ leagues,” Shapiro admitted during an interview with Boering about the film."
Seeing the words "Shapiro admitted" alone feels like a small victory
So they're argument blew up in their faces.
Cowards
no way ppl werent willing to experience gender dysphoria in reverse for your shitty movie? AMAZING
Timestamp?
That moment when you realize that it was originally a documentary but they couldn't fine any factual or scientific backing so they made it a comedy.
Scientific backing for what?
Really?
Fine? I couldn't fine any either 🎉fine fine fine

EDIT: In hindsight, I suppose you could file that under "Disney".
The scene with Alex trying to come out is so telling of what these people really want: to use violence to enforce their opinions on people they don't agree with
Genuinely disturbing how they wrote a surprisingly honest depiction of a trans character, then proceeded to show them getting assaulted as a joke.
Also, I'm pretty sure getting hit in the vag hurts too, lol.
@@NakedKratos they know trans people exist and are valid, they want to kill us anyway
Exactly
its kind of sad because that short clips was probably the best writing they've ever done.
How do you "get fired for being white" and not publicly show the email?
My source is that I made it the fuck up
I'm imagining something like..
"Dear ConservativeMan, your employment is being terminated after you made several racist remarks, including repeated use of derogatory language, to your Black and Brown colleagues over a two-month period."
"So I'm fired for being white. Wow."
So you claim it is false becsue he didnt scream to social media but instead involved the lawers and courts..
@@zakofrx car3 to prove that too my dude?
Can you atleast tell us if he won since that straight up discrimination and that case would be a landslide for him and it most def would have been big nieuws for the right wing news networks and yet I've never heard of this guy nor this case, so please inlichten us.
@@zakofrxnah it's false because that's a made up thing that doesn't happen
“I challenge you to review our movie on its artistic merit.” Says the organization who reviews movies negatively based solely on whether they have black people or women in major roles.
😂so right 😂
It's so hilarious that this movie actually thinks that shlubby out-of-shape 40-something dudes could just dominate all women's sports just because they're dudes.
It's what many transphobes believe.
What do you mean? I've learned from conservative men that even the weakest teenage boy is physically stronger and skilled than any female olympic athlete. They wouldn't lie, would they?
I know women that could put me in a hospital if they really wanted to 🤣🤣 and I am not ashamed to admit that.
That is what transphobes genuinely believe, while claiming to support women.
All the women basketball players at my school were like 6’5” and above and most of these guys were like average height and one dude seems very short
Ben wanting the actors to go through actual hormonal treatments to be able to participate in women's sports for a role in a throwaway film is such a Ben Shapiro thing.
i just want to know which is true, are the hormonal treatments given to trans people horrible irreversible sterilizing life-ruining medical experiments, or are they simple and reversible treatments whose effects on the body are so insignificant that athletes will undergo them just so they can win in the women's division and actors can go on them for a film role no problem
@@vlad5042besides the tit, feminizing hormones are super easy to reverse.
@@vlad5042 For conservatives, it's whichever one makes trans people look worse at the time it's said.
It's such a cliche but, especially when it comes to Shapiro and Crowder, but both these men come off as incredibly closeted and miserable and it always feels like they use ridicule as an excuse to dress up and act "queer" be it gay or trans
@@Backinblackbunny009 it reads insecurity but pls don’t act like that makes them closeted. vast vast majority of anti-gay and anti-trans rhetoric comes from straight cis people. calling them a closet case just makes it feel like the lgbt is the cause of our own discrimination
I almost threw up during a "heartfelt" moment where a dad tells his daughter "Oh sweetie, of course boys are better at all these things. But you, women, are better at building communities and you can give birth."
As an AFAB from traditional country with no "woke agendas" flying around, me and almost every girl I knew when I was growing up *hated* that message.
good luck from Texas
"You're better at building communities. No, you don't get any power over how they're run. Also, you get no direct credit for it but we will blame you if the kids don't conform. But that's totes your thing."
Exactly, why couldn’t they just say ‘just bc you’re a girl doesn’t make you any less than a boy, you can still be good at sports if you work hard (isn’t that their whole thing? Work hard is a conservative value typically)’ or even just ‘even if you’re not good at sports, you being a girl doesn’t make you any lesser, women and girls are the reason why we have a stable society, you are intelligent, vulnerable, and can be anything you want to be, and you being a girl doesn’t take away from any of your balue’ it’s not that hard.
“As an AFAB”
This proves you are a moron.
@@tarathoughts13they can’t be anything they want.
Ben also admitted that he wanted to make this a documentary, but realised that there weren’t actually any real life cases of men just claiming to be women to win at women’s sports. Intellectual dishonest is the DW’s bread and butter though, so what else should we expect?
Google Canada powerlifting once 😂
I mean, Ben’s on camera saying it.
You’re referring to Anne Andres. I’m aware of the case. Anne seems to have transitioned over a decade ago. The records she broke were in 2023. So my point stands; men cant - and don’t - just rock up to women’s sports and dominate. There’s rules around hormone levels and all sorts.
You can absolutely discuss trans people’s involvement in certain sports where it’s scientifically shown they could have a biological advantage. But again, people just aren’t transitioning to compete in women’s sport. If it was, you can be grifters like Ben would absolutely pounce on it. But there’s nothing to pounce on since it’s not happening
@@ej5677 plus trance ppl dont have any advantage anyway, or youd see em dominate everywhere. But they dont. Sometimes they win. But all athletes sometimes win
Ofc the real shit is realising that there actually isnt much difference between the sexes in geenral and sports are basically segregated for no reason. Like there are female olympic weightlifters who lift more than male olympic weightlifters. In difference weight classes maybe but the level of ability is the same thus discussions of "difference between the sexes" are rendered irrelevant
@@DimT670I disagree. There are demonstrable provable differences between men and women in our physical capability. And that’s ok. I think perhaps trans women and men should have their own leagues. Trans people should never be told they can’t play a sport professionally or be forced to play as a gender they aren’t but we must also recognize there are physical differences. I was a professional swimmer, I experienced the differences. Us women weren’t as fast as the men, we just weren’t. That doesn’t mean we can’t compete and be world class. That doesn’t make us worse than men. Men and women are just different and we have different strengths. For example women arguably make better fighter pilots than men. Trans men and women should be respected and their rights protected. But we can’t pretend they are physically the same as women and men.
Not to mention the criteria for women's sports imagined by transphobes would exclude a lot of cis-gender women who have naturally high testosterone levels.
The funniest part about this mess is that any of the raunchy 90's comedies that they are trying to replicate would handle the subject matter in a more progressive way than they did here
I don't know. Ace Ventura sure didn't
Than you’ve never watched comedies
I mean they would still mock trans women but usually they also mock conservatives who complain about them. Comedies about issues like this have to mock both sides to be really effective.
@@alexandredesmarais3848 to mock trans people isn't effective. It's disgusting.
@@alexandredesmarais3848 both sides? minorities and the people who hate them?
do they realize that being punched in the crotch STILL hurts even if you don't have balls? i just hate that scene so much because it feels like they really thought they were doing something clever, but really it's just utterly disgusting to think that's what they want to do to trans women
No, they were taking the piss on the recent superhero movies where all the main male characters get kicked in the balls (IMO).
@@philipdawes2661 considering the subject matter of the movie, the assumption it is relivant to their feelings about trans people makes more sense than referencing a superhero movie trope in a documentary on trans women entering women's sports(turned comedy movie because they couldn't find material to make a documentary, and they were going to make the project come hell or high water)
Like, nut shots are hardly a superhero trope to begin with...
@@the_last_ballad Fair point, I yield the topic.
Hitting Alex for talking back to him seems like the same way he'd treat cis women as well TBH
You're expecting the people at TheDailyWire to know anything about anatomy and physiology?
Most of them perplexed by the idea that Vaginas can get wet
I find it bizarre that less than a year ago they were annoyed at the Basketball player Brittany Griner who is 6ft 10 and now they are claiming the average man who in the US is 5ft 9 will just boss women's Basketball.
And this comes a few weeks after Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley had to act like they are massive fans of the most beloved Iowa athlete in a generation, Caitlyn Clark. Yeah... I'm pretty sure she'd probably eviscerate the average male player.
That is it exactly, the unspoken thing they're dancing around: they absolutely believe that any man is better at any sport than even the most well trained women.
notice how all the women's bball extras in it are petite so they look huge...they didn't go get actual wnba players to come in and make them look tiny. The only one of them that is actually big enough for pro basketball is david cone (the badger guy, who actually played college sports), the rest of them would be capped at beer leagues
thats crazy i looked it up and it says she's 6'9" holy shit wtf how do ppl get this tall
I’m a 40 year old 6’0 white guy. I could definitely beat Brittany 1v1. Because.. ima dude?
In a way I'm grateful to Lady Ballers/Daily Wire, as the trailer being given to me over and over and over back in November drove me to finally learn how to block individual ads on TH-cam.
Please share the information. I need this in my life.
Yeah I want to block some ads too
That's hilarious because I watch a lot of right leaning stuff and never got an ad for this movie. I haven't seen it either btw.
It took you that long? I started blocking ads years ago because I got tired of all the wokeness.
@@fuzzypanda1684Ahhh we found one 😂
Just as an FYI - as of today (2/6/24) the movie no longer has a RT rating in the 90's. The critics rating is now 43. There are supposedly 5,000 viewer ratings that give it a 90 but none of them are verified users so my guess is the DW had the bots busy for a couple of days.
I looked it up. But the audience score is still at 90.
Maybe they're too scared of the truth and paid RT to make it that way.
I do find it weird that these almost always very unimpressive guys think that they could just be the best in any women's sport by simply being a man. When you look at almost all world records to get the women's world record you would need to be so good at that sport, you would be on your own countries men's national team in that sport.
It's because unimpressive guys think women are incapable of anything. They are either infantilizing ("oh how cute, the women are doing sports") or they think women's sports/ any accomplishment is a DEI hire where they think the woman is unqualified and just getting the job for pink washing (and to be clear, that conservative take on DEI us dumb and not within the same solar system of the truth).
Exactly. They’re un-athletic and out of shape, and they think they can beat professional women at anything. I run marathons and one of my female friends is a seriously fast runner. In races she’s almost always the top female, and usually one of the top overall finishers as well. I promise not one of these losers could run fast enough to even keep this girl within sight. Just another example of how unserious and uneducated these people are.
They probably never had to do sports in mixed environment, be it in school or otherwise, right?
Lol clearly you’ve never played sports or do basic research…state high school men’s records are better than woman’s world records. 100m dash woman’s world record is 7500th place…the 200m woman’s world record is 9600th place…and record keeping only goes to the top 10,000..and as reference to highschool 2023 Wyoming (the least populated state in the US) champion men’s beat Olympic times for woman…people don’t have a problem with woman’s sport, but this liberal narrative that it’s “competitive” gets really tiring when it’s obviously not…instead of enjoying woman’s sport.
@@VOLUMEnightclub at my school the 100m record was the same time as the women's world record, he was on team GB and went to the European campionship. Just like yes sure some state records beat the women's record, how many of those guys were on the national team, was it all of them or well it was everyone of them wasn't it. Where did you get the 7,500th from, I can't find that anywhere and let's pretend that's true, so of the 3.5 billion men on the planet 7,500 have set a faster time, or to put it another way 0.000021% of the male population can beat them presuming they are not retired. Where did I say it was competitive and in fact who has said that, I said the average man has no chance competing as you have proved. "Enjoying women's sports" sorry you mean the men who made an entire movie making fun of the concept of it are the one's Enjoying it and me saying the average man is worse than these elite women, is not Enjoying the sport...
"They wanted to make movies that were enjoyable to everyone"
Then they made a movie exclusively for people in the year 2004, which is a weird choice.
people in 2004 wouldn’t even like this movie, there’s too much reference “humor” to modern events (live action disney remakes, dylan mulvaney / bud light sponsorships, etc)
This would've been hack shit in the 90s, frankly.
@@bisexualmajimaHey I didn't say it would be a classic in the 2000s. Just that only they would enjoy it. :P
Most people didn’t even know what transgender was back in 2004.
comedies in 2004 were actually funny
When conservatives say "not political" they mean "extremely political."
When conservatives say "too political," they mean "not political enough."
If something is “not political” either it’s because you completely agree with it or you’re too dense to actually see the message. Conservatives fall for both of those very very often.
"Too political" just means "not right wing".
"I don't see how anyone could think our movie is political, it reinforced the status quo quite well actually."
me when I make shit up
This kind of logic applies to anything that makes people question themselves when they'd rather be drifting through their life. It works on all political spectrums.
To be fair, it is actually hilarious. The problem is it isn’t funny in the way DW wants it to be. It’s humor comes from how it disproves DW’s politics and morality on the matter
Not as hilarious as the Daily Wire roundtable where they pontificate about how "serious" their movie is, when it's obviously a sophmoric amature production that belongs in the darkest nether-regions of TH-cam.
The movie would 100% be effective satire if it was written by trans people honestly. Its weird to make a satire on your own opinions while acting like those opinions are still factual.
Maybe in the abstract when talking about it, but I can't imagine this is a "good bad movie", since I doubt it'd actually get many laughs from me watching it. It's funny to think about but it isn't funny itself.

Dw I'm writing a lady ballers fanfic affirming Alex's gender and having the rest of the lady ballers accepting them

They ACTUALLY thought this would be their own Tropic Thunder. But while Tropic Thunder dealt with blackface (which was called out IN the movie by an actual black person), industry abuse (Less Grossman), endless sequels that get worse and eventually jump the shark (Seagal movies, Rambo), things that would hold up really well today, The Daily Wire was just offensive just for the sake of it. There is no bite to it, there is no satire in it, it's just a mouthpiece that they claim is too much for ''woke'' Hollywood. Lady Ballers will be discussed but it won't hold up in the slightest. There is also the fact that the people who wrote Tropic Thunder have SEEN this happen and KNOW what they are talking about. The Daily Wire is willfully ignorant.
Like, Tropic Thunder is not for everyone, but it knows what satire is and it's actually edgy (and funny). This film... christ, please make some satire on real life. I swear most trans women I know have funnier real lives than this
28:25 No, in _She's the Man,_ the plot is that a girl who is very much into football pretends to be a boy so that she could play.
It's also notable for the actress who played its progagonist having publicly talked about how her character's masculine presentation gave her, a cis woman, a bout of gender dysphoria.
Also the message is that girls can play football just well as good as boys, which was the position just inside the progressive edge of the Overton window at the time. Now most arguments for trans people playing in sports is that hormonal transition removes the difference and/or kid's sports is already a mix of hormonal advantages due to differences in puberty times. Very few people are advocating for mixed gender sports with height classes.
And practically none of them are offering, say, co-ed sports, where gender isn't a barrier(though people acting like idiots is), as a compromise.
They just want to go "no, you're not allowed to do this because you are different and therefore bad".
Women who crossdress for a while with no concrete goal in mind regularly report gender dysphoria
There was a famous case of a very butch lesbian who pretended to be a man for months while doing minimal changes like insisting on male pronounds etc and she reported intense gender dysphoria, even tho she mostly didnt even change anything about her
I would have expected them to have a fake “moderate” position on trans people like, “You do you, but you can’t do this, this, this, and this. Because you need to respect other people’s perspectives”
It’s wild that they have the coach tell the trans curious character no they are a man and that’s it.
Yeah, the conservative lineup stopped playing those games since Trump.
It's what Ian from innuendo studios called the death of a euphemism
@@Ann-mj4xnalt-right playbook mentioned ‼️
It's been very blatant in recent months that the wedge issues of bathrooms, sports and transitioning for kids were always just their foot in the door. Several states have been trying to pass bills that just outright ban trans medical care for anyone, regardless of age, some have even tried to classify dressing as the opposite sex as public displays of obscenity, which would effectively outlaw trans people from public spaces.
It was never going to be enough for them to preserve cis-women spaces or whatever excuse they wanted to go with, they just hate trans people and their endgame was always to make society hostile enough to them that they either go back into the closet, kill themselves, or haul them off as sexual deviants.
Because the very idea of being trans is offensive to them
Ben's explanation for why they couldn't do this as a documentary is so telling. All of their talking points about how allowing trans women to play women's sports will result in women's sports being destroyed by huge numbers of cis men pretending to be women so that they can win medals are completely shattered by his admission that they couldn't induce any men to "go the distance" by starting hormone treatments. Exactly, Ben. That's why nobody is worried about middle school boys (or any other aged boys) ruining girls sports. And he didn't even realize what he said.
“Don’t you think they’ll all just sell their homes and move” still follows him around like a bad smell.

The way conservatives talk about Obama makes me wish he had the level of power that they claim he does. They make him out to be like a god, able to bend reality simply by existing.

You can tell the director’s lack of success culminated during the Obama administration. So despite trying to properly “culture war”, he still reverts to 2010 talk radio soundbites.
You mean the same way liberals make out Trump…except unironically
So that’s how he made the OBAMEHAMEHA!
The whole premise of the movie hinges on the belief that any failed, untrained middle aged dude will *always* be better than a trained female athlete in her prime. It's just misogyny, all the way down.
Also sigh at Danny Trejo.
Don't blame Danny, I doubt he knows, understands or even cares about the movies he's in, he's just doing it for that sweet sweet paycheck 😉
Conservatives: we respect women!
Also Conservatives: make an entire movie belittling and mocking women in sports
It really is just shockingly misogynistic without a hint of subversion.
genuinely insane how everyone thought a bunch of male athletes that havent played in a while could beat a professional woman's basketball team.
That’s sadly how the whole anti trans narrative is, tbh. It always seems to just circle back to conservatives not respecting women but finding new ways to express that. Just look at how they theorize that cisgender women that done adhere to their standards of femininity are also trans, sometimes even harassing them in women’s spaces that, by even their own logic, there is no problem with them being in. Just goes to show bigotry is bigotry no matter how you slice it
And for "respect women" the ilk of Matt Walsh intends keeping them as properly polished baby-making furniture.
@@aweckzs😂 You should look up “pro women’s football (soccer) team loses to a teen boy.” Or that one video that shows one man beating 7 professional women soccer players….

That should shift your perspective unless you’re ideologically brainwashed.

@@marocat4749 dodgeball but less funny, has a less interesitng story and cast and wayyyy more racist and transphobic
Funniest part is if most random dudes tried to do this at any level of professional sports, they would get absolutely wrecked by the women they were competing against. They need to make a parody of this movie where that actually happens, sort of like the South Park episode where Cartman just assumes he can win the special olympics and comes in dead last for every event.
They think they'd look like Heather Swanson but instead they'd probably be like Eric Cartman.
I'm picturing a scene where one of the dudes who think they could score a point on Serena Williams has to get a tennis ball surgically removed from their skull.
This movie isn't transphobia disguised as comedy, it's misogyny disguised as transphobia
this is the part that gets me, there are now so many totally average fairly unfit dudes whove gotten it into their heads that they could lift more than high-level professional female weightlifters or whatever. yes males have a lot of biological advantages when it comes to most sports but these people seem to think the average male is like 20-30 times stronger than the average female.
@@vlad5042 dudes are also in a bit of denial about how we design sports around activities with high sex gaps. like sure, there are a lot of "regular" guys walking around who deadlift more than a fairly elite female lifter, but that advantage drops by a huge amount when you size match people, and if you match them for body fat it gets even thinner. not to the point of disappearing, but a lot of the supposed advantages men have in sports boil down to being bigger and leaner on average and not much else.
And there are some sports where women do well - several great ultra-distance runners are women, women do well in free diving, etc - but they're mostly activities we don't have a tv culture around.
The thing that gets me is that Benny boy admits that in order to play on women’s teams the actors would have to transition. No one was willing to go that far. So the entire premise of the movie and the argument is prima facia false. Also, Justice for Alex.
That's insane
To play devils advocate for a sec where's the line on transitioning? Like do you have to socially transition or 'surgically' (or w.e the more proper term might be, genuinely would like to know what the proper word to use is) although I ultimately agree with you I think it brings up this question
@@supershot9729 In this case, they had to be on hormone treatments. Also 'medically transition' is the word you're looking for. Social transition should honestly be enough for you to be seen as the gender you want to be, but for physical sports, I can see why they require physical transition.
"If he gotten this when he was 20, he wouldn't be in politics" is the description of every conservative.
I wish most of them could have started a career of mediocre actors, rather than entering in politics.
@@marcello7781They certainly would have done less harm.
For all the big talk they make about how "triggering" the movie would be, the description you gave and finally seeing clips of it paints a picture of a really really safe movie (for its intended audience) that makes a bunch of really boring decisions. It would be the easiest thing in the world given their politics with the premise to make a scumbag protagonist for example but no, they don't have the guts to do that so instead he's totally inoffensive and the villainous plot comes from a random woman.
Daily Wire think "triggering" and "pathetic" is synonyms somehow... Their grasp of language is as abysmal as their take on politics.
Jose isn’t wrong about the script, you feel like Jeremy’s character lacks agency in his own story but also wants to desperately impose it. Like the film starts with them winning the state championship and then years later he’s just a loser. What happened, why did he and his wife get a divorce? Nothing set up in the cold opening lends to the following.
"Triggering" yet the bleep out their own swear words
They don't even bother making trans people seem unlikeable or evil. The one trans character is so sweet and happy in these clips, and then the main character treats her like shit and crushes her joy. They paint themselves as villains and still don't even see how that's a bad thing.
That's the worst thing about this film, the Coach is the bad guy but they try to make him the hero and just blame every bad thing he did on a woman.
"no politics in our movies!!....
Anyway, here's the ATLAS SHRUGGED MOVIE!"
I'm guessing I'm not missing much by not watching that movie trilogy.
the little girl's frustration towards the end of the movie is honestly relatable and i think it's a complete accident. i was well into adulthood when i realized a lot (not all, but a lot) of my dislike of being AFAB is just my dislike of the limitations that society puts on AFAB people, the lack of accommodations for AFAB bodies, the scientific/medical disinterest in understanding how AFAB bodies actually work. i experience something like gender dysphoria but for my social role. "social dysphoria"? i'd like to see this examined in more fiction, but...not by the daily wire 💀
I think you’re absolutely onto something here!
I would describe it as something more like “societal dysphoria” or “patriarchal dysphoria” though since the term “social dysphoria” already refers to the discomfort related to being treated by others as the wrong gender during social interactions.
Interestingly, I’ve heard more than one transmasculine dude say something along the lines of how they would’ve realized they were a man sooner if it wasn’t for how much it sucks to be a woman in general-it can be hard to separate the feeling of “I don’t want to be a woman living under patriarchal oppression” from the feeling of “even in an ideal equal society I still wouldn’t be a woman.” They were surprised to find out that cis women don’t actually hate being women and falsely assumed that their unease toward their bodies and identities wasn’t a normal thing all women experience.
Great comment! Yeah that scene was really sad they're pretty much making a joke of the very real consequences of spouting male superiority. Just another reminder they know the consequences and genuinely don't care. They are incapable of describing positive aspects of women without using their womb.
I think the word you’re looking for is misogyny.
@@mariahmier9313 "it can be hard to separate the feeling of “I don’t want to be a woman living under patriarchal oppression” from the feeling of “even in an ideal equal society I still wouldn’t be a woman.”" this is so real 😭 i don't know if i'd want to identify as a woman even in a non-patriarchal society, so i split the diff and call myself nonbinary 🙃
Gender is social. Gender is not biological sex. So a social dysphoria is just the regular gender dysphoria as far as I'm concerned.

@@channelname1019it would not surprise me at all to learn that daily wire subscribers are into getting dommed by trans dominatrixes
The whole Alex character is so interesting to me because it so actively portrays denying trans identity as villainous. Alex shares their feelings that what they are doing made them comfortable in their identity and proud of themself, and Boreing's character shuts that down and hits them in the balls. Boreing's character is denying Alex's experiences and forcing his own selfish views on them. For a movie that was made to be incredibly transphobic, they made transphobes out to be mean villains. Which is accurate ig
The worst part is Boreing's character is supposed to be the hero we root for, but really he's just a villain.
And so the mask falls off. Their efforts to run some sort of parallel service to all of Hollywood with apolitical films that appeal to everyone have ended in failure, thanks to the crushing discovery that they aren’t good at making movies or TV shows, and filling your roster with directors and actors that Hollywood threw out can’t result in anything but derivative, painfully cliche products. No, they’ve decided to fall back on outrage baiting, making movies that appeal to the kind of folks who proudly purchased Trump’s NFTs, because they’re the only ones still watching. A service founded on spite holds no value but to the spiteful.
I mean, even the premise of a bunch of conservatives making "apolitical" movies is oxymoronic.
Is it even possible for ideologically motivated people as, say, Ben Shapiro to make anything without injecting their political views into it?
That's because, to the right, being apolitical means 'every theme and message in the piece of media I am consuming pats me on the back for my horrid views of the world and that I am an upstanding and moral person for holding them.' It's the foundation for the in group out group nature of the rights views on morality. Pairs up nicely with everything being zero sum as well.

These people are considered failed actors for a reason.
Do they even have anything resembling self audition tapes to verify that they qualify?
It’s honestly incredible that the film basically admits “we dont actually care about women’s sports, it’s just our excuse to mock trans people”. I suppose making any actual effort to pretend they think women’s sports matter would become “woke pandering” or something
Men support woman’s sports…so it’s feminist and woman that ironically don’t care about woman’s sport
They also mock cis women who do sports
I do think it shows how flimsy they know their arguments are when they purposefully put little effort into the exaustive efforts most trans people do to affirm their identify. In fact even with drag just look at Alex in the drag bar, where's the makeup.
Agreed! Drag queens and comedies about men dressing up as women always put in the elbow grease to be convincing and easily fool people. Calling the drag in this movie half-assed would actually be a compliment.
Snow White was already neurodivergent she was living alone talking to chipmunks
This movie seems to be transphobic for sure but, maybe even more so, just misogynistic in the most immature way. It’s soaking with what an old teacher I knew called, high school bathroom humor.
Misogyny and transphobia are close cousins. It's really hard to be invested in one without also pushing the other.
This movie intends to be transphobic, but fails at it miserably. None of these characters are trans, not even Alex or whatever his name is (at most he is a crossdreser). Even the normies can do transphobia better because they at least are honest on how they perceive trans people unlike the conservatives (e.g. movies like 'Soapdish', 'The crying game', 'Dude where's my car?, etc).
I wish, I miss 00s crassness so much. Take me back to the 09 MW2 voice chat.
Barack Obama destroyed rock ‘n’ roll?! How?! Just because it greatly declined in popularity during his presidency doesn’t mean he had anything to do with it. Is he saying that because Obama’s black, and “Black people are only into rap and R&B and don’t like rock” or some shit like that? Because if so, then… wow.
They've never understood the difference between correlation and causation, and that's granting them the inaccurate claim.
Gives off "The jews did this" vibes
Doubly ironic since black people were instrumental in the birth of rock and roll in the first place
Also bc in the past decade more r&b and rap artists have become mainstream, and rock and roll is still very much prevalent but music just changed, like it always does…

@@wallflowerwithoutperks True that, true that... but because I can't stop picking at scabs, what I found was that Danny Trejo has historically really just taken money for ANY work that comes his way, and in July 2023 it turned out he had MASSIVE tax issues, debts in the millions of dollars, due to taking out deductions he wasn't actually allowed to take out. So despite being someone working for prison reform and trying to help the homeless in his homestate California, he is probably back to going full mercenary for any work that will pay him.
Patrick Warburton, on the other hand, I saw an interview he did with Larry King after Trump had become preisdent. While he didn't vote in that election, he did say he wishes Trump the best and hopes he becomes more "presidential" and that he is apparently a lifelong conservative. I suppose judging from his tone and that this was the early years of the Trump admin and he also said he didn't feel like either of the candidates appealed to him, he wasn't at the time outright MAGA but didn't see Trump as a problem that had to be fought, but rather someone who could become a more "palatable" to his sensibilities.
And considering what we knew of Trump even back _then_, how it seems almost anyone who was a "decent conservative" back then have become some kind of radicalized since, and that he's taking jobs for the Daily Wire now... well. The outlook does not look good. But at the very least knowing this much prepares me for what may come in the future.

@@3baxcb they actually pivoted to game shows and DND stuff now. They also have some talk shows. It's still pretty good I'd recommend dropout as a streaming service.
I was an extra unfortunately. They did not tell us what the film was, nor the production company or anything else. Only found out when I got on set about an hour in and spotted the crew laptops with the Daily Wire logo as the backgrounds. Tried my best to ruin every take I was in, looked directly at the camera, cheered at the wrong time or not at all, ect. They had literal children working that set as well. Oh and did I mention I’m also trans? Yeah, bad times. Fuck the DW lol.
Sorry you had to experience this ❤
But ruining every of your takes in a transphobic movie as a trans person? You're an icon! 🎉
How was the pay?
Sorry to hear about that. It must've been humiliating to be apart of a project like that.
Shouldn't there be some kind of law for shit like this?
@@itcouldbelupus2842 it was about $250 per day, but I think they raised it after the first day since they were experiencing interruptions on set from other trans folks, comrades, ect
I feel like "cameo" is a strong word for the daily wire corrospondents in the movie. All of them work for the company and are the only reason anyone would ever watch this trash. It's less a cameo and more "my boss expanded my job duties and it's not like I can say no".
I don't like them but this actually makes me wonder about their working conditions.
Is the comic premise just mysogyny?
Or is men in dresses just a bad gag that’s been outdated since at least the 70’s?
A friend of mine worked on set and he told me Ted Cruz spent like half an hour shooting hoops with the actors and couldn’t make a single basket :(
It always bugs me when people say Leonard Nimoy didn't do anything on the monorail--he stopped Krusty from killing himself, and THE WORLD NEEDS LAUGHTER.
It always saddens me when I hear that DW owns Pendragon rights, I remember enjoying that cycle as a child
Yeah, this was the first I'd heard about it. I should probably re-read the set with adult eyes and see if I spot anything more than "pseudohistorical fantasy adventure/drama that's super into Christianity"
@@lordofhyphensYeah I am curious about those books. The first time I heard about those books was by the Daily Wire adaptation.
So either, Jeremy can't read the books or the books are christian propaganda. Both have equal chance to be true.
Boering was 44 when this was filming? Christ, he looks 10-15 years older than that.
“Boering” lol
having that much hate inside ages you faster. He's 44, looks 55, yet he also looks like he buys his suits in the little boy's department.
Jeremy Boreing really living up to that last name
I find it hilarious that Matt washy beard looks more fake than that whig
He's like if a Wooly Willy was a theocratic fascist
lol I thought it was fake
Lmao right? I thought "what wig? I thought that was his hair"
Would love to see a movie do an actual, realistic take on what would happen to a cis guy who is enough of a jackass to attempt something like this. Trans women are not coddled by Society(tm) in the way these guys seem to imagine, and it could be an interesting narrative to have a cis guy learn a lesson by experiencing misdirected transmisogyny. I think I would only trust a movie like that to be predominately written/directed/etc. by actual trans women though.
Would also be fascinated by a movie that would have take a narrative like that of the character Alex seriously. "Guy" dresses like a woman to pull of some kinda scheme and then has a realization (maybe that's what would happen if someone did a modern remake of Some Like It Hot, idk).
It could be kinda similar to (and I realize this isn’t the best example, but I do think at least the original intent was there) I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Outside of the bad Adam Sandler comedy cliches and bits, there is a genuinely really interesting story about two straight guys seeing how differently society treats them when it is believed they are gay. How their coworkers all turn on them despite always being close, how they are constantly harassed by homophobes, and how them coming out actually gives one of their closeted friends the strength to finally come out himself. There definitely is potential in telling a story about a cisgender guy having to navigate that space and get SEVERELY humbled by reality
Interesting sure but effective? No. You can't convince the kinds of conservatives who think that women and trans-people are coddled by society that they aren't. The kinds of issues women and trans-people specifically face aren't serious in the eyes of the kind of conservatives you can convince. First you'd have to have them understand that struggles, pain and suffering are something that individuals respond to differently. For the clearest example see defending capitalism by pointing out a few people make it. Thus we can extrapolate that those who don't make it just don't put in enough effort.
The recent Broadway adaptation of Some Like It Hot actually did just that, and (in my non-trans opinion) did it pretty well: Jerry/Daphne's gender is portrayed as somewhere between nonbinary and transfemme, and the role was originated by a nonbinary actor!
@@MC-lm7de 👀👀👀 I didn't know that existed omg
Conservative athlete wannabe dresses up feminine to win that sweet, sweet trans idolization - immediately starts receiving daily death threats and harassment from their Conservative colleagues.
Me, when I own an entertainment company but my last name is 'Boring':
He does a disservice to every aspiring actor, writer, or director who has the misfortune of sharing that surname.
I am completely shocked that they were able to resist putting attack helicopters in the movie.
The reason you don't have those kinds of comedies anymore is not Obama. It's because they got stale, the usual suspect of actors were getting more expensive to hire. And most importantly the way these movies really made their money was DVD sales, now that revenue is nowhere near as big, streaming services aren't interested, so these kinds of movies are no longer made.
He didn't say that Obama was responsible for that. He pointed out that conservatives believe that Obama ruined comedy 😅
But yes I agree with the rest of your comment. Thinking back on it too, a lot of those films have aged VERY poorly. I have trouble going back to those films to be honest.
And who is responsible for the decline of DVD sales? Obama. I rest my case.
Don't forget about the rise of social medias and TH-cam, that made random and funny videos much more available.
no dude it’s obama
@@marcello7781came here to say that…slapstick became short form
It is such an early 2000s idea for a movie, although in that there would be the joke of the 8ft 10 women's basketballer. Whereas in this they have to pretend women's basketball players are shorter than the average man, which if you have ever seen professional women's netball or basketball that is not true. Heck my Brothers wife is a ameteur netball player, I've never asked her height but it is very rare for her when we are out for there to be anyone taller than her and when her hair is in a bun, bascially no one is.
thats what i thought when i saw the trailer, i was like thematic content aside this has such big 2000s energy, like in the style of american pie or eurotrip or smth which is just so not in right now
My high-school teacher was in the wnba, she's 6'5".
These idiots are shorter than the average woman, so they have to punch down on female athletes by making them even smaller.
Yeah Hollywood IS scared to make the kinds of films the Daily Wire makes...because even Hollywood doesn't suck this much! LOL
You had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
You know what's even worse about this! This is technically a second draft movie because their first draft attempt was to make it a documentary and they found out that their documentary mockery couldn't work! So this was their Plan B writing!
I'm so curious as to how far Plan A got & how much happened before it was off the table.
