The working title of this movie was "Stealing America." My gf at the time worked on it and she had no idea who Dinesh D'Souza was, and everyone on the crew hated him.
As someone with a “colorful” past, I can assure you that Dinesh got what he had coming, multiple times, in multiple halfway houses. Nobody tolerates that bullshit, and loyalty is a joke.
this movie feels like it was made in 2014 with the assumption that marco rubio was gonna be the republican candidate in 2016 such a weird relic of obama era conservatism that was dated on release
agreed. honestly a lot of the very political episodes don't age well. the chapo crew have great chemistry when talking about movies, they should pivot to just being a movie podcast
Roc is played by Corey Cotten. You probably know him from the hit film Pizza Joint, where he brought to life the character of Thug #3, or from Spike TV's 1000 Ways to Die, as Stroman Wout.
How can anyone like Dinesh be so cartoonishly racist without a hint of self-awareness? (I don't want to hear anyone try to argue that the guy isn't racist).
Relistening to this for what must be my third or fourth time, and I noticed the part where they were talking about “his girlfriend and her husband” and all I could think was “How pathetic does someone have to be to get cucked by Dinesh D’Souza?”
25:50 Wilson's prejudice has been badly exaggerated. He racial views were perfectly average for his time. We hold him to a higher standard because he made promises he couldn't keep, and he was the great progressive on nearly all other issues. And there's no evidence he uttered that despicable comment after viewing Griffith's BoaN. It's a myth that won't die.
@@steelersguy74 I highly recommend John Milton Cooper's biography. Wilson's alleged quote about Griffith's film comes from the author of the book on which the film is based. He had been a classmate of Wilson's at Johns Hopkins and he had hoped a Presidential screening would quiet the controversy surrounding the film's release. The quote which the author attributes to Wilson was recounted decades later to a magazine editor. The author also doesn't make mention of that quote in his own autobiography. And according to all other witnesses, Wilson didn't say anything after the screening. He simply stood up and walked out as usual.
@@joshmccollen700 An open white supremacist who wrote Lost Cause history that framed Reconstruction as victimization of white southerners and the Klan as a "self defense" organization, the man who resegregated the federal government and replaced the few Black federal appointees with whites. The man who - when chairing a meeting of the Paris Peace Conference at Versailles in 1919, was presented by the Japanese delegation with a proposal for a "racial equality clause" for the League of Nations Charter and refused to even call it to a vote, a man who watered down his own supposed support for "national self determination" because "oops I meant for Eastern Europeans, not colonized Asians or Africans." It is genuinely difficult to overstate Wilson's racism.
@@drewflanagan1405 Like I wrote, he was perfectly typical of his time. Are you really going to compare his moral compass to ours a hundred years later? That's a special kind of professional malcontent.
