In this compelling episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, host Christian Toto sits down with veteran actor Neal McDonough for an exclusive, no-holds-barred interview. McDonough stars in the provocative new thriller "Guns & Moses," alongside Mark Feuerstein, about a Rabbi who takes justice into his own hands after a brutal attack on his synagogue. McDonough dives deep into the film’s bold themes, its cultural impact, and what drew him to such a unique role.

The conversation also explores how McDonough has stayed true to his Christian faith in Hollywood, including his firm stance on turning down romantic scenes that don’t involve his real-life wife. He opens up about the challenges and rewards of taking that moral stand in an industry that often asks actors to compromise. Plus, McDonough shares behind-the-scenes stories from working with Sylvester Stallone on the hit series Tulsa King, and why collaborating with a cinematic icon was both humbling and inspiring. If you’re a fan of Neal McDonough’s work in films like Band of Brothers, Minority Report, Justified, and more, you won’t want to miss this insightful and heartfelt conversation.

Tune in for a deeper look at a Hollywood actor who’s built a thriving career without sacrificing his values.

On the latest episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, host Christian Toto tackles the escalating rhetoric on The View and asks a critical question—has the daytime talk show crossed a dangerous line? Once considered light political entertainment, the show’s hard-Left politics, led by Whoopi Goldberg and company, now reflect a growing trend of incendiary speech amidst rising political violence on the Left. Is this just free speech, or is it reckless commentary? And how should free speech purists respond when celebrity voices like Goldberg’s veer into deranged territory?

Plus, we go beyond Hollywood with an emotional and eye-opening interview with Emmy-winning soap opera star Martha Byrne. She opens up about her husband, private investigator Michael McMahon, and his battle against a shocking federal prosecution. What started as a routine case in 2016 has morphed into a life-altering legal nightmare. The FBI says he crossed a line—Martha says the government is overreaching. We break down the chilling case and what it means for private citizens caught in the crosshairs of the justice system. Packed with sharp conservative commentary, exclusive interviews, and a fearless defense of free expression, The Hollywood in Toto Podcast is your home for culture, politics, and the stories the mainstream media won’t tell.

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.

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?

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

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

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

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.
