WOKE REPORT

Gheeeyyyy
  • The film makes some allusions to homosexuality, but that isn’t inherently woke. Its only agenda is to forward the narrative and make you laugh.
Mega Ultra Beta
  • The entire film centers on a weak beta male who a strong and fierce woman dominates. However, once again, it’s done for laughs. This is a screwball comedy in which everyone is varying degrees of awful.
