Message 4/5	Encourages being true to yourself and being as special, artistic, and expressive as you want to be, no matter what people think of you. Jem's story also encourages young viewers to take risks, step out of their comfort zone, and rely on the love of their family and friends.
Role model 3/5	Aunt Bailey is a supportive and loving aunt/mother who wants the girls to reach for their dreams. Rio encourages Jem/Jerrica to stay true to her artistic integrity. Jerrica's father encourages her from beyond with an empowering scavenger hunt. Characters do some sneaking around -- in one case, to avoid the police.
Violence 0/5	Armed security guards follow Erica around, and two escort someone out of a show. Characters evade police.
Sex 2/5	A girl kisses a boy and then summarily dismisses him. A young man and a young woman flirt and are obviously interested in each other. One culminating kiss. In one scene, a young man wears just a towel; his shirtless chest is visible for quite a long while. A security guard claims Jem was "all over" him (she wasn't).
Language 2/5	"Hell," "shut up," "badass," "damn," "oh my God," and one "oh, s--t" that's mouthed rather than said aloud.
Consumerism 3/5	Many YouTube references and scenes. Other product placements: Rolls Royce, Kitson, Jeep, Mac, iPhone, Pop Chips, TAGS thrift store, Google Earth.
Dove Rating https://dove.org/review/11617-jem-and-the-holograms/
Faith 0/5	None
Sex 1/5	A young man and young woman kiss.
Language 2/5	G/OMG-11; Badas-3; H-2; Frickin-1; Stupid Kids-1; A CD is titled "Valet of the Damed"
Violence 1/5	A girl rips another girl's clothes; a girl shoves items off her dresser in anger.
Drugs 1/5	A "no drinking, no smoking" comment; a guy says he would like to have a glass of wine with Jem and "be girlfriends."
Nudity 2/5	Cleavage in a few scenes; a few scenes of bare midriffs; girls in swimwear; dancers in leotards.
Other 2/5	A girl takes her agent's son's keys and his car; a girl takes money out of a man's wallet; a scene where a girl takes some glasses; a scene in which a guy struts with the girls; a security guard lies to Jem and says he wants her to autograph his arm for his daughter, but it is for him; tension between characters.

Review Title

Rating*

Rating is just the typical 5 star rating you'd give the film like you'd see on any other review site.

Support*

Support is a boycott suggestion and is meant to be a way for us to consolidate our efforts in “voting with our dollars.” Obviously, Hollywood has proven that they will sacrifice profits for the sake of their agenda, but they’re not as monolithic as you’d think. And people still respond to incentives.

So the 3 options are:

Pay to watch:

This movie is worth your time, and you should support the creators financially so we get more content like it.

Watch it AND give them money.

Watch if free:

The show is entertaining, but you shouldn’t reward the creators for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't want to support preachy celebs who hate their fans. Or maybe you enjoy superhero movies and nostalgia bait, but don't want to encourage Hollywood to continue making them in such a high ratio.

That’s when you’d click the “Watch Now” button and choose from one of the “Free” links:

( Use at your own risk. ZeitgeistReviews does not endorse any of the links and we don’t condone piracy. And we definitely discourage you from using this Reddit thread that shows you all of the places to pirate movies & tv. )

Watch it BUT don’t give them money.

Skip it:

This means the movie wasn’t even worth your time. Maybe it's so full of Woke crap that you’ll want to pull your hair out half way through. Or it could simply just be a piece of s**t, and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Don’t watch it AND don’t give them money.

( Note: We have expanded our site from just TV & Movies. Now we have games and will add music/books/etc. So the wording might change but the sentiment is still the same for every "Support" section. )

Review text*

Note: Please wrap spoilers [spoiler] like this. [/spoiler]

Neo-Marxism

Neo-Marxism, (sometimes referred to as "Cultural Marxism"), rates the amount of fanatic egalitarianism in a film. Consider this mainly a rating for anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist themes.

Feminism

Strong and multidimensional female characters are fine. This is mainly referring to girlboss crap, unrealistic Mary Sue content, and/or egregious scenes of manhood being disparaged.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action rates how much "diversity" is being pushed. ( Not true diversity, but the anti-White checklist kind.)

Gay Stuff

Gay Stuff rates the amount of non-tradional sexuality depicted.

Fedora Tipping

Fedora Tipping rates the amount of atheism / Scientism™ in a film.

Ouija: Origin of Evil Review

Ouija: Origin of Evil is a solid effort in the horror genre. While it isn’t the scariest film, there is great tension and story put into the movie to balance it out.
