Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher slammed Hollywood and “the woke world we live in,” saying even James Bond movies today are “p***ified.”
On his Club Random podcast, Maher lamented how “pathetic” the characterization of the long-running Bond franchise has become when speaking with YouTube star Hannah Stocking, who mentioned she had a background in science.

“You’re the hot scientist. You’re like Dr. Christmas in the embassy [in] the James Bond movie,” Maher said of the nuclear physicist character played by Denise Richards in the 1999 Bond film, The World Is Not Enough.
“This was back in the day when James Bond was allowed to like f*** hot chicks. You know, now they can really, p***ified him,” Maher said. “It’s so pathetic. [Bond] literally takes his girlfriend and her daughter on his mission to save the world. He practically stops off at Target to buy tampons on the way to the underground lair.”
Maher contended Daniel Craig’s portrayal of Bond represents how modern-day Hollywood has become “woke.”
“This is the woke world we live in. But back in that day, Dr. Christmas and Denise Richards was hotter than the sun, still is — but also a brilliant scientist,” Maher continued. “Which is just like, you looked at her and went, ‘That’s not really possible. But I’ll go with it, you know, a brilliant scientist.’”

In October, Craig acknowledged that Bond has become far less of a womanizer, telling Yahoo that he was glad for the change.
“Listen, he’s not done too badly,” Craig said. “I hope we’ve sort of changed things. A lot of things that were acceptable in 1962 when they made [the first Bond movie Dr. No] are just not part of the world anymore. And I feel like to have someone that reflects modern life is really important. … Bond movies have always sort of mirrored the world around.”
