Conservatives struggled to engage culture for years, and in some cases, willingly left the space to the radical left. Because of this, Adrienne Gray says she “always felt like sort of the black swan here in the conservative movement.”

Many conservatives “condemn pop culture, we suppress it a lot, because we don't, again, align with a lot of the values and the activism that goes on with celebrities, but I believe that God created the arts to enjoy,” Gray told The Daily Signal. 

Gray, a conservative pop culture expert and host of the “A Daily Pop,” says what while the political right has become better at engaging culture, she aims to be part of a “new wave” that allows conservatives to establish themselves in the field of arts and culture. 

Trends within entertainment also point to a growing desire from consumers for content that is not aimed at pushing a leftist political agenda.

Disney’s recently released live action “Snow White” was fraught with tension over the “politically correct” way to portray the seven dwarfs, ultimately resulting in a CGI version of the dwarfs that contributed to film critics giving the movie a 42% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, actress Rachel Zegler, who plays Snow White, touted the film’s focus on the independent strength of women while downplaying the story's classic romantic storyline.

The film earned $87.3 million globally during opening weekend, falling short of the film’s $100 opening weekend goal, and far short of other classic Disney princess film's box office success. During opening weekend in 2015, "Cinderella" earned $132.5 million worldwide opening weekend, and in 2017, "Beauty and the Beast" earned $350 million.

On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we share Gray’s conversation on the role conservatives can play within pop culture, and discuss why “Snow White” failed to meet viewer’s expectations. 

Also on today’s show, we discuss President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education and the president’s actions to freeze federal funding to Planned Parenthood. 

Plus, we bid farewell to long-time “Problematic Women” co-host Kristen Eichamer as she takes on a new adventure at the Department of Commerce.
