Question 1

Is Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping woke?

Accepted Answer

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping has a woke score of 16/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is a 2016 mockumentary comedy starring Andy Samberg as Conner4Real, a pop-rap star whose big solo album flops and whose fame starts to crumble. He tries every desperate trick to bounce back without reuniting with his old rap group, the Style Boyz. The movie uses crude, absurd humor to poke fun at celebrity egos, social media fame, and music industry excess in the style of a fake pop star documentary. It includes one short scene that lightly mocks tone-deaf celebrity activism but carries no recurring identity, political, or social-justice messaging.
