HiT 321: Bleep ICE? Here's Why Hollywood Activism Rings Hollow

The Hollywood in Toto Podcast is back with a hard-hitting new episode as host Christian Toto breaks down Hollywood’s growing obsession with attacking ICE and immigration enforcement—and the glaring silence that follows on other controversial issues. From awards shows like the Grammys to red carpet rants, celebrities rage against ICE agents enforcing U.S. immigration laws, yet rarely bring the same energy to other hot-button topics. HiT digs into why Hollywood picks certain causes, ignores others, and what’s really driving the industry’s selective outrage. The answer won’t surprise longtime listeners.

Next, Toto sits down with actor and producer Stelio Savante to discuss his powerful new film, “Hazel’s Heart.” The fact-based drama tells the inspiring true story of a North Dakota community that risked everything during a brutal winter storm to protect a vulnerable family. Savante shares how he used his industry experience, influence, and persistence to bring the film to life, offering rare insight into the challenges of independent filmmaking.The episode wraps with a fun and unexpected movie trivia blitz celebrating the 1976 classic Rocky—a perfect pop-culture finish to another must-listen show.
