Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Radio Days is fundamentally nostalgic, with its characters fitting naturally into their era and backgrounds. There’s no sense that identity traits override their development or that diverse casting is forced for representation’s sake. The film centers on story and atmosphere, not ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film warmly embraces family, tradition, religion, and the social mores of its late-1930s/40s setting. It reflects on masculinity and childhood without mockery or revisionism. Cultural heritage is depicted fondly, not subverted or undermined in any way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Radio Days doesn’t aggressively push a single ideology and features a range of personalities and attitudes. Any traditional perspectives are treated with humor or affection, not contempt. Alternative worldviews aren’t villainized; the film simply reflects its era.
