Lady Ballers Featured, Reviews Film Threat

Dec 5, 2023

NOW ON DAILY WIRE+! A surreal, farcical cultural satire, Lady Ballers is the first feature film to be released by the Daily Wire for their proprietary streaming service, Daily Wire+, and in this particularly sartorial commentary on society, co-writer, and director, as well as lead actor Jeremy Boering, wished to explore the inclusion of alleged transgendered athletes in women’s sports. Alleged the fact that contrary to the DSM V or any other medical standard of transition, these transwoman athletes have not taken any gender therapy medications and retain all the strength and bone structures of men. As evidenced in Lady Ballers, this leads to otherwise mediocre male athletes stomping mud holes in women’s sports records.
Lady Ballers centers on the story of three-time high school state champion coach Rob Gibson (Boering). In the 15 years following his last victory, Gibson has seen his life fall to pieces. His wife, Dharby (Lexie Contursi), has divorced him. He has just been let go of his coaching reprobates at the town’s youth center. To make matters even worse, the CD store he used to work at has become a drag restaurant called Dollies. His star athlete, Alex Cruise (Daniel Considine), is a blonde-bewigged serving wench at that fine establishment. Learning of a $5,000 prize in competing in a community decathlon, Gibson arranges for Alex to enter as a transwoman. Alex wins every category, setting new records in shot put and javelin. Chuffed with their brief success, they are accosted by journalist Gwen Wilde (Billie Rae Brandt). Wilde has an immodest proposal for them: enter the competition to be part of the new Global Sports competition as Transwomen. In exchange, they will grant Wilde exclusive control of all media content concerning Gibson’s team of trans athletes.

“…competing in a community decathlon, Gibson arranges for Alex to enter as a transwoman.”
Being a farce and a satire, Lady Ballers leans in on broad comedic brushstrokes. Much slapstick and terrible wordplay ensues in the coaching and execution of Gibson and Wilde’s plot. That Wilde is also a domme who’s into BDSM is wonderfully played for laughs. I enjoyed a minor subplot involving sensitivity training, wherein a white man with a touch of Native American ancestry becomes a full-blown portrayer of an American Indian – or at least his idiotic conception of such.
Lady Ballers has a great big heart, and it has a great many moral lessons to provide us, the viewers, with this ridiculous decision to allow Transwomen into women’s sports and thus destroy women’s sports for biological women. I personally don’t care how much hate I receive for this next zinger. Still, I, for one, am glad Riley Gaines got to have a cameo in this as a swimmer bested by one of these alleged transwomen, paralleling her defeat swimming against Lia Thomas. The particularly masculine form of Lia Thomas grates on me that this person, who would otherwise be a mediocre male swimmer, bests every great female swimmer and gets away with it.
Lady Ballers is a tongue-in-cheek farce. It’s clearly prepared for the audience who would subscribe to the Daily Wire+ and is loaded with Daily Wire personalities such as Ben Shapiro, Brett Cooper, and Matt Walsh. Seek it out if you’re intrigued.
