6 GIU 2025 · Get ready for one of the most jaw-dropping trigger warnings yet — George Orwell’s 1984 has been given a woke reimagining, and the results are as cringe-worthy as they are unbelievable. In this episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, host Christian Toto dives into the latest assault on literary classics by hyper-sensitive academia and cultural gatekeepers. We break down the embarrassing comments made for the book's 75th anniversary and what this means for free speech, satire, and the enduring power of dystopian fiction.
But that’s not all — we’re joined by writer, illustrator, and Babylon Bee alum Ethan Nicolle, who’s launching his most ambitious project yet: a hilarious and action-packed kids’ tome titled This Book Might Explode. Ethan shares the inspiration behind the book, how he's using Kickstarter to bypass gatekeepers, and the uphill battle conservative creators still face in today’s publishing world. From creative freedom to cultural commentary, this conversation is packed with insight, laughs, and a reminder of why storytelling matters — especially for the next generation.

4 GIU 2025 · In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the brand-new HBO Max original film Mountainhead — a chilling tale with a high-tech twist. Is its tech bro terror warning pure fiction, or does it reflect what we just watched with horror break out in Boulder, Colorado? Host Christian Toto breaks down the eerie parallels and what the movie gets right — and wrong — about our culture's obsession with power, innovation, and control.
Then, we’re joined by bestselling author and political commentator Kurt Schlichter, who discusses his latest genre-bending novel, "Lost Angeles: Silver Bullets on the Sunset Strip." It's classic noir meets dark fantasy, complete with demigods, mythic intrigue, and gritty detective tropes — all set against the backdrop of the City of Angels. Schlichter offers no-holds-barred commentary on Hollywood, woke culture, and what storytelling means in 2025’s polarized media landscape.

21 MAG 2025 · Jake Tapper's new book, "Original Sin," is rocking the country. The CNN journalist bravely shares the shocking details of President Joe Biden's decline ... months after he withdrew from the 2024 election. It's the cover-up of the century, and Tapper had a supporting role (even if he denies it). This bonus episode asks the biggest question surrounding the book - could it make the jup to the big screen? Will Hollywood put aside its progressive groupthink to tell a story that demands to be told?

16 MAG 2025 · In this hard-hitting episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, host Christian Toto exposes how once-revered celebrities are undermining their legacies in the name of political virtue signaling. 🎸 Case in point: Bruce Springsteen. Known as The Boss and once a symbol of blue-collar America, Springsteen has taken a sharp turn, bashing the very country—and fans—that built his career. Now he's criticizing America and Donald Trump during international concerts. Here’s why that message is not only tone-deaf but damaging.
Then, Christian sits down with Patrick Courrielche, co-host of the hit storytelling podcast Red Pilled America. Modeled after NPR’s narrative style—but without the media bias—Red Pilled America dives into real stories the mainstream media ignores. Patrick shares behind-the-scenes insights into how the show is made, its viral success, and what to expect from upcoming episodes.
🔥 Episode Highlights:
How Bruce Springsteen is alienating longtime fans
Why celebrity activism often backfires
The rise of independent storytelling through Red Pilled America
How Patrick Courrielche is challenging the legacy media with truth-driven content
If you're tired of Hollywood hypocrisy and crave compelling, uncensored storytelling, this episode is for you. 👉 Subscribe, rate, and review The Hollywood in Toto Podcast—where culture meets truth.

3 MAG 2025 · In this explosive episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, we dissect late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s shocking interview with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker—an exchange that veers beyond comedy and into the realm of fat shaming and political hypocrisy. Was it just tasteless humor, or a calculated move to push a deeper leftist agenda? We break down what Kimmel’s approach really says about mainstream media bias, and why this same media helped cover up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during the 2024 election cycle.
Plus, we go deep into cinematic history with author and film historian Nat Segaloff, who joins us to talk about his powerful new book, The Rambo Report. From First Blood to the explosive sequels, the Rambo franchise isn't just action-packed entertainment—it’s a mirror held up to Hollywood's evolving politics, American values, and our collective view of patriotism, masculinity, and military heroism.
Don’t miss this hard-hitting conversation that peels back the layers of pop culture and politics in ways no mainstream outlet dares to

26 APR 2025 · In this hard-hitting episode, we unpack the growing hypocrisy at the heart of celebrity activism. A major Broadway star recently issued a highly publicized plea for tolerance—but does her rhetoric hold up? We explore how her statements clash with her actions, and how they reflect a broader pattern of Hollywood elites fueling the very Cancel Culture they claim to condemn. From silencing dissent to enforcing ideological conformity, celebrities have become key players in the war on free speech.
One rare exception? Comedian Bill Maher, who dared to reach across the aisle in today’s polarized climate—and was immediately savaged by one of Hollywood’s biggest names for doing so.
Then, we shift gears with an insightful conversation featuring veteran film critic Peter Chattaway, as we explore the powerful rise of faith-based storytelling in modern media. From the impact of "The King of Kings" to the cultural phenomenon that is "The Chosen," we dig into why these stories are resonating now more than ever—and what might be coming next in this growing space.
🔥 In this episode:
The contradiction in Broadway’s call for “tolerance”
How celebrities helped ignite Cancel Culture Bill Maher’s controversial stand—and Hollywood’s reaction
The rise of faith-based entertainment and its mainstream appeal
Insightful commentary from Peter Chattaway on faith, film, and what’s ahead

11 APR 2025 · The stars of Fantastic Four: First Steps are making waves — and not just on screen. Two of the film’s key leads are proudly proclaiming this reboot as a bold, progressive departure from past superhero fare. But is this "not your father’s Fantastic Four" approach a box office risk? We break down their eyebrow-raising comments and compare them to another star who famously dissed the source material — and paid the price. Could First Steps follow the same doomed path? 🔥
Plus, we're joined by Shawn Farash, host of the Ungoverned podcast and the man behind one of the Internet’s most convincing Donald Trump impressions. He shares how he perfected the voice, what makes great satire, and the terrifying details behind a recent swatting incident targeting his family.
Superhero controversies, box office drama, free speech, and a chilling real-life story — this episode has it all.

5 APR 2025 · In this episode, we dive into the complex and contradictory approach to free speech taken by rock legend Neil Young. Known for defending free expression in the 2000s, Young’s more recent actions—specifically his attempt to silence Joe Rogan over controversial views on COVID-19—have raised eyebrows. We unpack how his latest comments reflect a growing partisan stance rather than a commitment to open debate. Is Neil Young’s approach to free speech evolving into something less about the exchange of ideas and more about enforcing a specific narrative? We explore this paradox in depth.
Plus, filmmaker Jonathan Bowen joins the show to talk about his indie drama The Comic Shop. The film follows an entrepreneur at a critical crossroads in his professional life, capturing the essence of perseverance and personal growth. Jonathan opens up about the inspiration behind the story and shares how he connected with an Oscar-nominated actor to land a crucial cameo.
Tune in for a fascinating discussion on film, free speech, and the changing tides of public discourse. Don’t miss this thought-provoking episode filled with insights on the intersection of celebrity, politics, and art.

28 MAR 2025 · In this episode, we unpack the latest drama surrounding Disney's Snow White live-action adaptation, starring Rachel Zegler. Recently, Zegler has faced intense backlash for her comments about the film, but is she truly to blame? We dive into the controversy and examine whether she was just following orders from the higher-ups or if there's more to the story. Is the heat on Zegler justified, or are we overlooking the bigger picture?
But that's not all—we also sit down with film producer Mark Joseph to discuss his compelling new book, "Making Reagan." Joseph takes us behind the scenes of the rollercoaster journey to bring the life of Ronald Reagan to the big screen. If you think most films hit roadblocks on their way to theaters, wait until you hear about the intricate, complex process that brought Reagan to life.
And finally, we give a special shout-out to rapper Tom MacDonald for his generosity in inviting a certain podcaster into his musical world. What was it like collaborating with one of the most controversial figures in music today? Tune in to find out!
