HiT 304: The Real Reason Hollywood Wouldn't Release 'Sound of Freedom'

Hollywood in Toto with Christian Toto

About
In this hard-hitting episode of The Hollywood in Toto Podcast, we dive into the latest cultural flashpoint: the Left’s outrage over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans commercial. Why did a simple denim ad trigger progressive critics—and how did late-night TV react? We break down the wildly different responses from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Gutfeld!, revealing how even Colbert may have found his limit with progressive overreach.

Next, host Christian Toto welcomes Paul Hutchinson, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and author of The Sound of Freedom. Hutchinson discusses his powerful new book, The Sound of Freedom: True Stories that Inspired the Film, and shares eye-opening insights into Hollywood’s resistance to the film, its long road to theaters, and how he’s using pop culture to fight child trafficking around the globe.

This episode blends sharp media analysis, pop culture commentary, and an inspiring interview you won’t want to miss.
