As we ponder this week’s appropriate winners of the coveted Molière Citations, we are fascinated by the hubris and self-destructive nature of the entertainment industry.

Hollywood “in crisis” — what crisis?  Because a few of the top-tier moguls and stars have sucked all the oxygen (translation: MONEY) out of the system, and don’t want to share it with the “creative” contributors?

Are they just too busy feeding their egos with political activity to take care of business?

Making outsized payments to executives and stars at everybody else’s expense appears to be the first problem.

The second (and perhaps even bigger one) is the way the “managers” are trying to force-feed the audience (those people who pay for entertainment) a diet of woke nonsense instead of entertainment.

They must be taking their clues from academia, where education has been replaced with indoctrination.

Functionally, it gets difficult to tell the difference between coeds in colleges and starlets in studios.

The Harvey Weinstein model has imploded, along with the campus model represented by another of our Molière citation awardees from last week.

Message to Hollywood: SHOW us how our society should work, don’t TELL us how.  Don’t just shut down the playground in a fit of pique.

The Molière Citation is awarded jointly to the moguls and the stars of Hollywood, with the hope that they may see the error of their ways and start providing the public with entertainment, and be more generous in sharing the proceeds of success.
