Hollywood Echo Chamber: Why Stars like John Boyega Keep Alienating Fans

On this episode of Coolest Geek Alive, we’re diving into the Hollywood echo chamber—why stars like John Boyega keep stepping in it and alienating the very fans who helped build their careers. From Disney to other major studios, the industry’s been quick to blame fandom backlash on prejudice, rather than taking accountability for creative missteps. Now, misinformed by PR teams, managers, and media spin, actors are parroting a narrative that paints their audiences unfairly, making themselves look out of touch in the process. Let’s break it down and get to the truth.
