Part 5/8:
DeVine humorously critiqued the tendency of modern films to contain hidden messages—a trend where viewers leave a movie questioning whether it was about global warming, woke ideology, or gender identity. He joked about movies where the plot seems to subtly promote social or political causes, making the entertainment experience more about indoctrination than genuine laughter.
He pointed out how even movies that should be simple entertainment—such as comedies—are now laden with layers of ideological context, which can detract from their original purpose. Instead of pure escapism, viewers often experience movies as vehicles for activism or political statements.
