I love old movies. I’m quite the classic aficionado, and have a huge collection, both DVD and streaming. And for years, I’ve enjoyed TCM.
But with Robert Osborne’s passing, Ben Mankiewicz has taken on a greater role at the network and his influence has caused them to bring in a number of SJW hosts. It’s ruined what was once a great network. I just listened to Mankiewicz/Alicia Malone gang up on Eddie Mueller (the last relatively benign host at TCM) in an analysis of what a horribly racist film “The Searchers” was.
I miss the good old days of TCM where you could just sit back and enjoy the movie on its own merits without being berated by the hosts about how horrible you were for doing so.

He gets his mileage out of that last name, for multiple reasons.

The clear goal is to destroy every semblance of cultural continuity we might have ever had. They are terrible terrible people.

Alicia Malone is absolutely hot. She’s also batshit loony.

My shock levels are off the charts.

The Searchers is the greatest western film ever made.
Period.

I can’t argue against that. It’s in my top 3.

This would be why I own it on Blu-ray, as well as a number of other John Wayne films on BR/DVD.
People scoff at owning physical media, but relying solely on streaming leaves your access at the mercy of people that will inevitably censor that content (either scenes, dialogue or entire films).

I've hated BM from the first time I saw him. Nothing to do w/politics -- I simply think he's a terrible host. He would never have gotten the TCM gig w/o his last name. He also wears a horrible rug.
As for his politics... What can you say about a Jew who teams up w/TYT?

They're going to take everything from you. And dare you to do anything about it.

Searchers is top 20, maybe top 10.

Ben Mank is just boring as hell. Robert Osbourne had an old school charm and I could watch him talk about movies for hours

This will just make torrent sites even more popular and, ultimately, screw Hollywood. Which is nice.

They didn’t say anything ABOUT Eddie. He was the only one of the three who had somewhat rational takes on the film. The other two just glossed over those takes and continued on w/ their SJW bash fest.
I’ve seen Alicia and Jacqueline Stewart do the same thing, re: Eddie Mueller.
