What We Think

Big Ass Spider! is gloriously non-woke, opting for dumb fun and schlock over any overt ideology. It’s a rare modern film that’s more interested in explosions and campy horror than making a point about identity or culture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Big Ass Spider! sticks to a tried-and-true B-movie formula, focusing on laughs, spectacle, and cheesy monster action over any overt identity messaging. Characters are archetypal and cast for comedic effect, not box-checking. The story doesn’t sacrifice coherence for political or cultural messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t go after family, religion, or traditional values, frankly, it hardly takes anything seriously. Gender dynamics lean into classic monster-movie tropes, and traditional masculine heroism is played for laughs but not undermined.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no lecturing or villainizing of alternative worldviews. The film’s main target is B-movie absurdity. Any social commentary is incidental, not central, and alternative perspectives aren’t shunned or caricatured.
