PopCon #25: Daily Wire's Movie 'Lady Ballers'

The Pop Culture Contrarian Podcast

Dec 14 2023 • 45 mins

The Daily Wire is calling its new movie "Lady Ballers" the most triggering movie of the decade. It's about a team of washed-up high school basketball state champions who discover, as middle-aged men, that if they pretend to be girls, they can win again and play basketball professionally against women. Had this movie been released a decade ago, it would have likely flown under the radar. But as the media landscape increasingly pushes far to the left, the subject matter has become sacred to progressives. Did The Daily Wire expertly mock the absurdity of the transgender sports movement? Or is this another flop in the entertainment media culture war? Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew to discuss.
