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
