HiT 313: Colbert and Co.'s Biggest Flaw Can't Be Fixed
In this thought-provoking episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, host Christian Toto breaks down the current late-night TV landscape and examines why the mainstream media continues to defend far-Left talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon. We explore how much cultural influence late-night comedians still have, and whether their political bias has alienated half the country.

Christian also revisits Jimmy Kimmel’s one-week suspension, revealing how it impacted his audience, his reputation, and the broader public perception of late-night comedy. Is late-night TV still relevant—or has it become an echo chamber for progressive politics?

Later in the show, Christian welcomes author Carla Ondrasik, whose new book, 'Stop Trying: The Life Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More,' offers a refreshing take on success, creativity, and inner peace. Carla shares fascinating stories from her career in the music industry, explaining how her self-help philosophy helped her thrive—and how it can help you unlock your own potential. She also shares her take on today’s music industry and what young artists must do to survive in an era of streaming, social media, and rapid change.

If you love Hollywood insight, media criticism, and motivational storytelling, this episode delivers it all.

HiT 312: The Movie That Explains the Israeli/Palestinian Puzzle?
This week on The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, we bring you not one but two powerhouse interviews that explore original filmmaking from very different corners of the industry.

🎬 First up, conservative thought leader and bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza returns with his most ambitious project to date — The Dragon’s Prophecy. This gripping new documentary tackles the current Middle East crisis and unearths its shocking Biblical origins, offering a spiritual and geopolitical lens rarely seen in mainstream media. D’Souza pulls back the curtain on his creative process, how he consistently captures the cultural zeitgeist, and why The Dragon’s Prophecy is resonating with audiences across ideological lines.

🎃 Then, we switch gears with Scottish director John McPhail, the filmmaker behind the cult hit Anna and the Apocalypse. McPhail discusses his delightful new project, Grow, a family-friendly fantasy starring Nick Frost in a tale packed with heart, humor, greed, redemption, and plenty of pumpkins. McPhail shares behind-the-scenes moments from the set, what drew him to such a dramatically different genre, and why Grow could be the surprise hit of the season. Whether you're drawn to bold political documentaries or heartfelt indie storytelling, this episode offers a fascinating double feature that celebrates independent voices in cinema.

HiT 311: The Hard-Hitting Film Festival We Really Need
In this powerful episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, host Christian Toto chats with filmmaker Spencer Folmar, a bold voice in the world of faith-based cinema. Known for Generational Sins and Shooting Heroin, Folmar brings a raw, unfiltered approach to storytelling that reflects the messiness of real life — and the complex, imperfect nature of faith.

Folmar opens up about his personal journey into filmmaking, the inspiration behind his deeply emotional stories, and why he believes Christian films shouldn't shy away from life’s darker edges. At the heart of the conversation is the Hard Faith Film Festival, a groundbreaking event giving a platform to independent filmmakers of faith outside the Hollywood bubble.

If you're interested in faith and film, indie cinema, or how bold creatives are reshaping the Christian movie genre, this episode is a must-listen.

HiT 309: Charlie Kirk’s Murder, Hollywood’s Shame?
In this powerful and emotionally-charged episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, host Christian Toto unpacks the shocking murder of conservative icon Charlie Kirk — a bold voice for free speech, traditional values, and the next generation of American patriots. We examine Kirk’s remarkable life, his lasting legacy, and the deeply personal impact his death had on Toto’s own young sons.

This isn’t just political — it’s personal.

But while many mourn, two Hollywood legends responded with disturbing, disgraceful reactions to Kirk’s murder. We name names and expose what their comments reveal about the toxic anti-conservative bias still festering in the entertainment industry. (And that was before the Emmys completely ignored Kirk's tragic death).

Then, we shift gears and sit down with acclaimed journalist and cultural critic Mark Judge, author of The Devil’s Triangle. We explore: His decades-long career covering the arts and media, the cultural and political trends reshaping Hollywood from the ground up and a potential feature film adaptation of “The Devil’s Triangle." This is a must-listen episode for anyone passionate about free expression, media accountability, and the ongoing culture war in Hollywood.

HiT 308: How Hate Night TV Made America Worse
This week on The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, we dive into the cultural chaos fueled by late-night TV — and Stephen Colbert is front and center. Once a platform for laughs and lighthearted satire, late-night has become a tool of political division, and Colbert’s angry, partisan monologues are leading the charge. We break down how Colbert and his peers have helped polarize the country — and why they may not even realize the damage they’ve done.

Later, we’re joined by director Nim Shapira to discuss his powerful new documentary, Torn. The film explores the emotional and political firestorm surrounding the hostage posters that appeared across New York City after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks. Shapira unpacks how these simple images became flashpoints in debates over free speech, antisemitism, cancel culture, and the modern protest movement.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone concerned about media bias, Hollywood’s political agenda, and the growing rift in American pop culture.

HiT 303: Why Five for Fighting Stands Tall for Israeli Hostages

HiT 300: 'The View' - Where Free Speech and Insanity Collide
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.

HiT 299: Orwell’s '1984' Gets a Woke Makeover. Really
Get ready for one of the most jaw-dropping trigger warnings yet — George Orwell’s 1984 has been given a woke reimagining, and the results are as cringe-worthy as they are unbelievable. In this episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, host Christian Toto dives into the latest assault on literary classics by hyper-sensitive academia and cultural gatekeepers. We break down the embarrassing comments made for the book's 75th anniversary and what this means for free speech, satire, and the enduring power of dystopian fiction.

But that’s not all — we’re joined by writer, illustrator, and Babylon Bee alum Ethan Nicolle, who’s launching his most ambitious project yet: a hilarious and action-packed kids’ tome titled This Book Might Explode. Ethan shares the inspiration behind the book, how he's using Kickstarter to bypass gatekeepers, and the uphill battle conservative creators still face in today’s publishing world. From creative freedom to cultural commentary, this conversation is packed with insight, laughs, and a reminder of why storytelling matters — especially for the next generation.

HiT 298: The One HBO Max Movie That Can't Be Ignored
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.

HiT 297: Is This the Democrats' Worst Nightmare?
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?

HiT 296: Bruce Springsteen's Blue-Collar Betrayal
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

How Patrick Courrielche is challenging the legacy media with truth-driven content

HiT 295: Jimmy Kimmel's Problematic Pritzker Gags, Explained
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
