In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Orgazmo’s only agenda is shock comedy; it doesn’t care about modern identity politics at all. Low ‘woke’ quotient; not exactly a paragon of traditional values either, but definitely not selling any 2020s political sermons.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Orgazmo largely trades on lowbrow humor and satire rather than pushing any kind of modern ideological narrative. Characters are exaggerated for comedic effect but are not defined by identity politics or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at religion, particularly Mormonism, but does so in a tongue-in-cheek, irreverent way common to late 90s comedies. It doesn't aggressively attack traditional values or masculinity with the kind of smugness seen in much more recent 'woke' entertainment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present, though mostly as targets of satire. No modern ideological monoculture here; the humor is crass and offensive pretty much across the board without picking a particular 'side' to champion.
