Ethnic	2			2		This is the most reliable data source for accurate ethnic breakdowns of famous people. Often the information is crowdsourced by users and they cite all their sources (family trees, obituaries, census archives, etc.) on the bottom of the page. The only issue is converting their ambiguous and inconsistent verdicts into quantifiable variables. Source: https://ethnicelebs.com/
Surname			1	1		A third party free program that uses US Census data to create an algorithm that analyzes surnames and guesses what ethnicity the person is. Obviously there are issues with this data set such as African Americans who have the last names of their ancestors' slave owner. However, when no other data set is available, this can give a rough estimate and expand the data pool for the less important cast members with no IMDb or TMDb image.

Notes		Arab Americans are less than 1% of the US population and often check "White" or "Other" on the US Census. And the only data available for them started when the US Census added ancestry in 1980. So assume a less than 1% margin of error and overlap with the "White" and "Other" categories.

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.

Hidden gem!

This is a very well put-together historical film about Winston Churchill's younger life. Great visuals, great writing, great values, and overall optimistic. Very surprised I hadn't heard about this one before! The only reason I'm not rating it 5 stars is that it's missing that certain something that would make it a perfect masterpiece. That said, I can't think of any major flaws. If you're looking...

Can 'Darkest Hour' Avoid the Pitfalls That Have Plagued so Many Churchill Films?

It may well be impossible ever to make a film adaptation of The Great Gatsby that can successfully live up to the full majesty of the novel.
