NBC’s Universal Pictures falls under the Comcast cooperate umbrella, along with liberal news network MSNBC.

Comcast as been labeled “hypocritical” because Comcast’s cable news hosts push gun control while sister company Universal Pictures pushes the film about wealthy thrill-seekers taking a private jet to a five-star resort where they embark on a “deeply rewarding” expedition that involves hunting down and killing designated humans.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that the “violent, R-rated” movie follows “MAGA types who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked for sport by elite liberals.”

“Nothing better than going out to the Manor and slaughtering a dozen deplorables," a character says, according to THR.

“The Hunt” stars Betty Gilpin and Hillary Swank, who play characters who represent “opposite sides of the political divide,” according to Masters and Siegel, who added that it was originally titled, “Red State vs. Blue State.”
