ALL COMEDY IS CONSERVATIVE:
Amy Schumer's 'Trainwreck': A Conservative Critique of the Hook Up Culture (LISA SCHIFFREN, 7/23/15, Weekly Standard)
Have you ever wondered what would happen if the conservative fantasy of taking over the culture came to pass? What if one major movie studio, and a few popular actors, comedians, writers, directors were conservative?Producers would still have to work within the current social reality of a sexually promiscuous, morally untethered, post Judeo-Christian culture, of course. Audiences don't pay for heavy handed, feel bad lectures. Where would you start?Who would guess that Trainwreck, written by, and starring Amy Schumer (comedy's current raunchy, no boundaries bad girl) and directed by Judd Apatow (bard of the pathetic stoner, off any path to responsible adulthood bromance genre) might show the way?
