Rebel Comedy ‘Lady Ballers’ Hits Prime Video

It’s the comedy Hollywood would never, ever make.

As an enthusiastic fan, I found myself thrilled when my beloved old basketball team decided to reunite and seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: joining a women’s exclusive league to vie for a substantial cash reward.

The catch? They’ll have to pretend to be trans women to participate. Meet the “Lady Ballers.”

As a movie critic, I found myself chuckling and cringing in equal measure as the film humorously explored the murky boundaries between gender identities and biology. The script doesn’t shy away from addressing the contentious topic of transgender athletes competing against their biological counterparts, offering a provocative perspective that leaves one questioning societal norms and expectations.

And it’s funny!

Previously, the show “Lady Ballers” was only available for Daily Wire+ subscribers since its December 2023 premiere. However, this exclusivity is now a thing of the past.

The conservative platform has recently released “Lady Ballers”. Now, viewers have the option to either rent or buy this movie on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, FandangoNow, Apple TV, On Demand, DirecTV, or Dish Network.

In a review, Decider.com brought up accusations of racism, sexism, antisemitism, and homophobia regarding the show. Although generally liberal, at least they reviewed it. Many other critics chose not to engage with the title before forming an opinion.

Under the guidance of Director/actor Jeremy Boring, his Daily Wire team members were relied upon to expand the cast. Furthermore, they brought in Tyler Fischer as a skilled reinforcement. The comedic role, which outshines Dylan Mulvaney’s character, was particularly crafted for this purpose.

Approximately two years ago, the movie was released, an era marked by instances where expressing views that trans women should not participate in traditional female events led to cancellations. Activist Riley Gaines found herself confined to a secure room for multiple hours after voicing such opinions on a California university campus.

Much has changed since then.

In simpler terms, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to exclude transgender women from participating in female athletic events. Meanwhile, Jennifer Sey established the XX-XY Athletics brand to champion women in sports. Certain female athletes have opted not to compete against transgender women.

The timing couldn’t be better for “Lady Ballers” to escape the Daily Wire+ paywall.
