Heroes to Zeros: Death of the Action Hero, Rise of the Influencers with Gary Warren
What happened to the action hero of the 1980s? Titans like Schwarzenegger and Stallone, who embodied muscles and morals are now viewed as examples of toxic masculinity and have been replaced by the DEI everyperson. Emmy-nominated writer and producer Gary Warren joins MPM to discuss how media has painted masculinity and the hero archetype for 2 decades and what it now promotes instead, including the bewildering inclusion of the sexually explicit, R-rated Poor Things on Disney+. We also compare the value of music in today’s pop culture spectrum through the lens of the Coachella Influencer Olympics vs legendary classic rock artists like Led Zeppelin. Have we lost a bit of our cultural soul and authenticity in the race to virtue signal? Is traditional heroic excellence obsolete so that we can embrace a more mediocre version of ourselves?
