Today on Coolest Geek Alive, Jesse Blaze dives into the polarizing new film One Battle After Another—a movie critics are already praising, but one that raises disturbing questions about the stories Hollywood wants us to celebrate. The so-called “heroes” of the film aren’t noble freedom fighters at all: they’re selfish thrill-seekers, fetishized archetypes, and opportunists who betray each other when things get hard. Leonardo DiCaprio’s character admits he’s only in it for the specifically black women. The “strong Black woman” lead chases danger through sex and crime, then sells out her friends when caught. And yet this is being positioned as a glorification of “resistance” and “liberal freedom fighting.”What does it mean if Hollywood’s idea of rebellion is built on shallow fetishization, moral bankruptcy, and betrayal? Is this really the kind of representation and resistance we want shaping culture? Tune in for a fierce breakdown of One Battle After Another, where Jesse exposes the bizarre polarity of Hollywood’s storytelling and what it reveals about the ideological landscape we’re living in.
