Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping2016

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

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is mostly a comedy send-up of fame and pop stars. Its primary goal is humor, not social lecturing, and it never really succumbs to woke trends. This one stays refreshingly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s focus is clearly on satire and comedy, not preaching ideology. Characters are exaggerated for laughs, not to check identity boxes. Casting and character traits revolve around parodying pop culture rather than prioritizing diversity for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Popstar lampoons celebrity culture and the music industry but doesn’t really take aim at traditional family, religion, or masculinity in any ideological way. If anything, it skewers modern excesses rather than classic values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film does mock many aspects of modern life, it takes shots at everyone, not just ‘old-fashioned’ perspectives. There’s no real agenda to villainize traditional views; the vibe is irreverent and equal-opportunity.
