Episode #21 – Are There Any Movies for Conservatives This Summer? (Interview with CBC Film Reviewer Douglas Ernst)

It’s summer and Hollywood is in full swing with movies conservatives will love, or outright hate! To help guide the conservative moviegoer, we interviewed CBC movie reviewer Doug Ernst to learn about summer movies conservatives should see, and which ones to avoid.  We also discuss the state of Hollywood, its deep-rooted liberalism, the new Dinesh D’Souza and Michael Moore documentaries, and if Hollywood will ever make movies again for conservatives. Find out in our exclusive podcast author interview!
