Hi. Last week, we looked at why The Daily Wire is putting out original content that they claim is apolitical. This week, we're doing a deep dive on Jeremy Boreing's magnum opus: Lady Ballers.

----

Note: This week's Patreon version is not available on YouTube, as they're blocking videos with lengthy Lady Ballers clips. We're shortening some of the clips for the main YouTube version that will go up later this week. So, lucky you – you get more Lady Ballers than everyone else!

As usual, comment if there are any issues with the upload, and thanks for your support!

Ben Shapiro puts his kids to bed at 7:30? Jesus Christ. He said they go to school at like 7:30 as well, so do they wake up at 3:30 AM? He running a farm or something?

Vanessa Walsh

This critique is the only winner

Chibigodzilla

Just absolutely mind boggling to see the DW+ crowd so clearly lay down the socially constructed difference between productive and reproductive labor; next thing you know these woke-scolds will be calling for homemakers to be paid for their labor.

Pietro Gagliardi

I'm more alarmed by that critics score than the audience score; 43% is way higher than I thought it would be?????

The Hidden Object Guru

Warmbo saying that he liked bruising his eyes is funnier than the entire film Lady Ballers.

The Big Shakuna

Thanks for subjecting yourselves to this trash heap of a film news dude and crew. You’ve all earned your Patreon money this month for sure.

Good lord what a frustrating watch. Not you guys and your review, I mean the movie that we all definitely legally watched. Like oh my god. We get it, you hate trans women

Alexander Powers

This has inspired me, a tran but more importantly a connoisseur of classics like Birdemic and God's Not Dead, to watch Lady Ballers (also COMPLETELY LEGALLY). Update: *very* disappointed to discover that Plex (which I'm using for PERFECTLY LEGAL REASONS) recognizes the title and even has a thumbnail for it Update2: This movie reminds me so much of the quote (of dutch angles) "the director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why." It's like watching a movie made by aliens who have watched a series of mid-2000s comedies like Anchorman, and learned about all the appropriate gags, but who don't understand why or how these jokes should be deployed. The humor is truly baffling, and leads the viewer to the impression that the filmmakers have only the barest grasp on what "comedy" is. The minor gags are only questionably "jokes," and the major gags are (at least so far) copied entirely from other mid-2000s comedies I've already seen, only worse, and deployed in contexts that make them oddly alien. The tropes are all there, but in baffling contexts that, if taken further, could be called brilliant dadaist humor. Update3: Update2 was written before the actual basketball started. The misogyny really ramps up after they start playing sports, and it's really hard to say whether this is more insulting to trans women or cis women, which is honestly kind of crazy. Really kind of saps the fun out of it. Also, half the scenes in this movie are superfluous and it would make the plot *really* garbled if they weren't so clearly going for such a cookie-cutter sports movie plot. Despite this, they still didn't manage to construct any actual character arcs. Troubling that this got as high as 43% on Rotten Tomatoes. Surely those numbers were manipulated or something. In summary, this movie isn't so much "so bad it's good" as much as it is kind of confusing, boring, and extremely insulting to at least half the population. 2/10 would not watch again (completely legally of course).

Chris Combs

More Lady Ballers seems like both a feature and a bug.

AspViper

This was some sort of sorcery. How did I just watch that many clips of that shitty, messed-up movie but still come out feeling entertained in the end? Damn good job.

Brandon S

"I carved it into your car." got me at the end, lol. Great show.

Angela Crawford

Patreon player won't cast to my TVs :/ Oh well

Hannah

I liked this content. Thank you!

Zack Spiller

I feel Warmbo is still up to something. Should have called him back and hung out with him.

Señor Brainwash

The Daily Wire Frauds suck at making movies.

SeeJ

No notes, unlike the movie that shouldn’t have a name.

Michelle

The Patron video player is crap

AVTW

This is why we Patreon!

Jeremy Pridemore

Are you still going to be doing private YouTube videos? I *vastly* prefer watching this on there vs Patreon. I'm hoping this will be uploaded to YouTube too.

Max

Lol, RIght before Cody mentioned the eye lines I could tell he'd bring it up. Such a bad shot

Michael Young

Cody’s weird laugh after “I wouldn’t steal a car, after all” got me good.

James Dominguez

I laughed far too hard at Warmbo's repeated vomiting.

Michael Young

I would 100% watch a MST3K style version of this movie with Cody, Katie, and Warmbo.

Eran Aviram

I also highly recommend Jose's take on this movie, his cultural critique is top notch. Search for "Reviewing Lady Ballers, The Daily Wire's Attempt at Comedy".

Dick Waglin

Man id fucking watch Rock and a Card Place

Dormagio

I love how boys made up physics so they could feel good about themselves because they couldn’t multitask like all girls. I love facts.

Alexx T. Holden

Your comment about people winning arguments in their heads to rounds of applause feels targeted. I feel attacked. One day I will come for Bill Maher and turn his studio audience against him. I will! Why are you in my head, Showdy?!

Josh Birdmyn

Loved the throwback to “I wouldn’t steel a car”

deus

Something that stuck out to me was the Liberal Journalist lady talking about how bad divorce is. Of all the clips of her you guys showed, this was the only one where it felt like she was speaking "earnestly". Which could just be cause the actress isn't able to put sincerity behind things she doesn't believe, or it could be that they were trying to imply that powerful liberals are all being disingenuous. That in their hearts, they all believe the conservative positions but they fake liberal positions for money/power. Feels like an example of projection, no?

Dott Ponder

Speaking as a trans person that still needs to come out, this movie has made me LESS scared for the future

GreyMargin

Not going to lie, when they cut back from the second commercial and Cody is trying to lure his laptop over I thought he wasn't wearing pants... Tan clothes can look funny on us white folks.

Alice Lewis

So I’m not a creative person, even less so when it comes to film and story structure, so this was amazing just from that layman standpoint. I feel like I know so much more about how movies work (and why they don’t work) I would LOVE to see a “Some More Film” spinoff where Cody just analyzes good and bad movies.

alex funk

Thank you for legally watching this movie for us and giving us the deep dive. Impressive. I'm also sorry

Everyday Everyman

For all the work being done to act like these people want to return to a time when this kind of comedy was funny, they sure don’t realize that this was already funny 15+ years ago and they missed being part of it then…because they weren’t cool in the time they are saying things were how they want them to be. Somehow these Daily Wire folks have found the one audience still watching Adam Sandler reruns on repeat and offered them “new” content. It’s like seeing a dude in their 40s stopped at a stop light, blaring Mötley Crüe songs on a tinny, tremble driven sound system, eyes closed, believing he’s into the heaviest and edgiest “metal” of all time. It’s that and it hurts to watch. It’s that or it’s Nickelback. It’s Nickelback isn’t it?

Astrid Hendrix

It's so weird. You would think with all of the money they have they could have gotten a halfway decent director. Like, David Zucker is a pretty hardcore righty, has experience with farcical sports comedies like what this was supposedly trying to be, but instead they just spewed all over the film like a middle schooler that just figured out how to use iMovie on their phone. It's almost like the movie itself didn't matter...

Karen Cox

I hope Cody got hazard pay for watching this dreck. He deserves it. If anyone is interested in what wingnuts really think about women’s sports, look up a Chronicles Magazine article by Anthony Esolen on women’s sports. He flatly says men’s sports are always better and that schools shouldn’t encourage girls to play team sports. As bad as my description is, Esolen’s article is so much worse. Anyone on the Left needs to read it, even at the cost of giving clicks to a dreck site like Chronicles, because we need to know how far the Right will go to destroy our world.

Douglas Anderson

Oh my god. Why did I laugh so hard at the Warmbo bit? Cody. Man. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Must have been torture spending so much time in the Shapiroverse.

Rob Tapp

Watching Cody talk about the eye line in movies/TV just made me think this is something that most people would intuitively get when shooting a scene. They may not be able to articulate it but its something they would/should understand. Watching this review makes me think they did not storyboard the film, and if they did, they did not do a good job at it. I looked at the IMDB rating breakdown and it is quite telling about the people who watched/rated it - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30216176/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt Previously the rating was 6.0 and is now 5.9 (11k ratings). The percentage of people rating it a 10 was 45.3%, and 1 star is 15.1%. This is an insane percentage for 10 stars and if you look at any other good, or highly rated, movie you understand the people watching/rating it are people that already agree with the idea, or are subscribers to the Daily Wire. If you compare to Back to the Future, which has an 8.5 rating (1.3M ratings), only 25.7% give it a 10, but the other high ratings are a large percentage as well - 9 stars (26.4%), 8 stars (27.8%), and 1 star (0.4%).

Camilo Santana

I think you should invoice them your consultation fee. side note: what if they listen and level up?

Data Diva

I almost always listen to the podcast instead of watch the video, but for this one it made sense to watch instead. So much of the weirdness is in the visuals.

Deborah Labun

Haha, 3 seconds into watching this, my tablet froze and had to reload Patreon.

Interdimensional Steve

I don't mind saying I torrented this movie, then got drunk and watched it with friends. We laughed a lot, but not for the reasons they wanted us to.

Douglas Boyle

YES!!! Finally that Patreon money pays off

Cameron

At first I was like cool patreon exclusive. I then realized this meant watching more Ladyballers 😫

gijoes

You want some irony? Fucks like Shapiro, Boering, Peterson et al make me orders of magnitude more ashamed to be a white male than any historically accurate description of the crimes my ancestors may have perpetrated. These guys literally make me want to puke.

Jerry Jordan

"It's Conservative Fan-Fiction" - nailed it.
