Kevin Sorbo: Kevin Sorbo on Hollywood cancel culture and independent filmmaking | DSH #1526

Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, Andromeda) sits down to talk life after Hollywood, why he pivoted to independent, family-friendly films, and how politics and “cancel culture” shaped that journey. He shares candid takes on taxes and term limits, social media bans, AI in film, and why he thinks audiences are craving classic storytelling over agenda-driven blockbusters. We also get personal: moving from California to Florida after wildfires, golfing stories with presidents, and what it’s really like building movies outside the studio system.

Sorbo also previews new projects (features + docs), upcoming Greece and Norway trips, and why he believes optimism, work ethic, and faith still win. Whether you agree with him or not, it’s a frank conversation about entertainment, free speech, and the business realities of making movies today—plus a few unbeatable Hercules/Andromeda throwbacks.
