Hollywood’s Easter Meltdown
As America celebrates faith, military triumph, and space exploration, a woke film industry faces layoffs, lost audiences, and the collapse of its own ideology.

It was a glorious Easter Sunday to wake up to in America, for three reasons. Christ is risen, Navy Seals rescued a downed airman from behind enemy lines in Iran, and U.S. astronauts neared the Moon. But the people in one area, Hollywood, are not celebrating this Easter, also for three reasons. They hate Christians, who worship the first triumph. They despise Trump, who effected the other two. And they’ll probably soon be out of a job.
A Wall Street Journal story last week, See How Hollywood’s Job Market is Collapsing, qualified and quantified the Pompeii-level meltdown of screen industry employment in the past four years — a 30-percent drop since the already abysmal 2022. Nobody who has read my articles here for a while should be surprised by the disaster. I warned of it in my very first piece eight years ago, “The Hollywood Compliance Decree,” citing the decision makers’ suicidal displacement of heroic men and romantic women with feminist fantasy figures.
The corporate powers that control Hollywood didn’t run out of liberal dreams. They just ran out of money.
And that was before Hollywood went full Hollywoke on the road to oblivion. By the time of my article, Kathleen Kennedy and her sisterhood had only just begun to destroy Star Wars, debasing the masculine heroes who established the franchise, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, to present a sexless unreal heroine. “The Force is female!” was Kennedy’s slogan. Unfortunately for her, the audience wasn’t. And the men who turned out for the first film in the last trilogy, The Force Awakens, abandoned the sequels in droves.
The Kennedy coven wouldn’t take no for an answer. They doubled down. They not only went female on Star Wars, but gay, nonwhite, and ugly. Case in point, the recent TV woke bomb, The Acolyte, with plain black female leads and homely lesbian witches.
“They’re in a matriarchal society,” explained showrunner Leslye Headland. “As a gay woman, I knew it would read that their sexuality is queer, but there also aren’t any men in their community. So a closeness between the two of them would be natural.”
