The 6 Best Bets for Conservative-Friendly Entertainment this Summer

Megan Basham

When I talk about conservative-friendly entertainment, I don’t mean films starring Kevin Sorbo as a Christian professor who debates his atheist students or a TV series that consciously build storylines around Republican-favored policies. Whether from the right or left, this type of entertainment rarely entertains.

What I mean are movies and series that are fundamentally conservative in their outlook (whether the writers, directors, and cast realize it or not) because reality is fundamentally conservative. As much as Hollywood may pay lip service to progressive preoccupations, when it’s time to get to work, many creators still care more about telling an honest story or a funny joke than signaling their left-wing bona fides. It just sometimes takes a little work to find these productions when left-wing critics are so happy to lavish mediocre liberal morality tales with praise  (looking at you Aaron Sorkin).
