Andrew Klavan’s latest video — a cheeky, unapologetically conservative riff imagining classic fantasy sagas with Klavan himself cast as the hero — landed like a splash of cold water on a pop-culture swamp that’s been lukewarm with ideology for too long. Klavan, who has built a career as a novelist and outspoken Daily Wire commentator, reminds Americans that storytelling doesn’t need permission slips from the cultural commissars.
The clip plays like a love letter to old-fashioned adventure and clear moral stakes, as Klavan retools The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter to show how much crisper those tales feel when a true protagonist stands for courage, decency, and common sense. It’s satire with a purpose: to point out that many modern retellings have traded plot and character for politics.
If you skim the description you’ll find the same practical conservatism in Klavan’s approach to sponsors and members-only content — he’s building an audience willing to pay for unfiltered entertainment rather than bow to woke advertisers. That’s part of the larger fight for culture: fund creators who fight for truth, not those who kneel to trend-chasing corporate managers.
Klavan also uses the moment to push his own fiction, reminding listeners that real writers still write real stories, not ideological memos. His new thriller, After That, The Dark, is being pushed for pre-order with a release in October 2025, a timely reminder that conservative voices in fiction can thrive without surrendering to fashion.
Make no mistake: this isn’t just a vanity exercise. Klavan’s send-up exposes a rot in parts of the publishing and entertainment industries that prefer lecturing to entertaining. When characters become placeholders for checkboxes and plot bends to messaging, readers lose, authors lose, and the country’s shared imaginative life is the casualty.
Hardworking Americans deserve better than moral theatre disguised as literature. Klavan’s video is a clarion call to reclaim our stories — to read and reward tales that honor heroism, accountability, and the human heart rather than those that peddle grievance as art.
So if you love good stories and believe in defending the culture that raised them, do the sensible thing: back creators who want to make you think and feel, not humiliate you into agreement. Support independent voices, buy their books, subscribe to their shows, and stop feeding the corporate machinery that profits from dividing us.
