The Right Side of Hollywood: The Social Reckoning, Jimmy Kimmel's divergent takes on Graham Platner, Spencer Pratt

This week on The Right Side of Hollywood, Christian Toto and Deborah Flora dive into the latest trailer for The Social Reckoning, a sequel to the 2010 film The Social Network. But it's not just about the movie - it's about the state of free speech in America and how the left's war on free speech is taking a toll on our culture. Christian points out that the trailer makes Mark Zuckerberg the enemy, with a quote that's meant to be a "boo hiss" moment, but instead feels like a laughable attempt to villainize the Facebook CEO. The conversation also touches on the upcoming midterms and how the timing of the movie's release is no accident. Christian notes that Aaron Sorkin, the film's writer, is a left-leaning individual who wants to move the needle on the issue of free speech. But will the film explore the dangers of Facebook censorious conduct leading up to the 2020 election? Probably not. Ryan, Deborah, and Christian also discuss the importance of free speech and how it's essential for a healthy democracy. In other news, Christian's article about Jimmy Kimmel's attack on Spencer Pratt bears more discussion, and Deborah discusses the comedian's tone-deaf response to the reality star's loss of his home in the Palisades fire. They also talk about the irony of the 'progressive' Jimmy Kimmel punching down, a comedic tendency often criticized by the Left. Fool of the Week nominees: Scott Pelley, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Manny Rutinel (D-CO) If you're interested in hearing more about the state of free speech in America, the blatant hypocrisy of Jimmy Kimmel, and the latest news on the entertainment industry, tune in to this week's episode of The Right Side of Hollywood.

Masculinity is NOT toxic; Stephen L. Miller on Graham Platner, Scott Pelley

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's been following the recent news about the Democratic Party's nominee for US Senate in Maine, Graham Platner.

Ryan delves into the world of men who are making headlines, from the UFC to the halls of Congress, and explores the idea that men are finally having their moment in America. But is it really a moment of celebration, or just a reaction to the perceived wrongs of the past?

John Fabbricatore, a former senior advisor to the Trump administration, speaks with the Heritage Foundation about his experience working to locate and rescue unaccompanied minors who were trafficked across the Mexican border. Meanwhile, Ryan shares a powerful message from Facebook friend Lesley Hollywood about the importance of appreciating men in our lives, and Ryan thanks her for acknowledging the important role masculinity plays in our lives. One of the key points of discussion is the way that men are portrayed in the media, and how this can impact our perception of them. Ryan also touches on the topic of false accusations and the importance of verifying claims before jumping to conclusions. Conversely, Versus Media podcast host Stephen L. Miller joins the program with a discussion about the recent controversy surrounding Graham Platner's problematic past and the way that the media is handling it - or not handling it.

The conversation is filled with shocking moments, from Representative Bottoms' affiliation with podcaster Joe Oltmann, who's called for the execution of Colorado's governor, attorney general, and secretary of state (though Oltmann has pushed back on the context of these statements) to Victor Marx's outlandish claims of saving 45,000 women and children from ISIS and human trafficking. In this episode, Senator Kirkmeyer shares her thoughts on the national coverage of the race by comedian John Oliver, which she agrees is a "backhanded compliment."
