the Critical Drinker takes on "Lady Ballers"

I'll be watching this movie soon. The following review, though, does not leave me hopeful:

I get the impression that Conservatives can't do humor is still a stereotype with some truth to it. Righties remain good with memes—something the left generally has trouble with—but when it comes to movie-length comedy, well...

Before this review, though, the Drinker did take time to interview Jeremy Boreing, who wrote, directed, and starred in the film. It was an illuminating discussion, and arguably a more productive use of time than the making of the film itself:

I'll give Boreing credit for both his modesty and his realistic outlook: he knows the Daily Wire movies are only a beginning, an initial answer to what the right-leaning public wants (and maybe more than just the righties), the mere start of a parallel ecosystem to cater to a market starved for classic entertainment not drenched in wokeness. He's aware that, in terms of quality, DW movies currently don't hold a candle to what Hollywood cranks out when it comes to production value and star power.
