Although I feel as though we’ve all been exposed to the red-pill community or “manosphere” content in one way or another, for those who are lucky enough not to know what that is, let me ruin that for you. The “manosphere” is online content that promotes specific viewpoints and lifestyles, mainly that men are superior and need to be masculine, and women are meant to be feminine and obedient. 

There’s been a significant uptick in this sort of content in recent years, so to find out more, British journalist Louis Theroux did the bravest thing: he went “Inside the Manosphere” for his latest documentary, released March 11, 2026. 

Before we get into the content itself, let’s talk about the piece’s production value. Theroux has made over 70 documentaries throughout his 25-year-long career, so he’s definitely got the hang of it. 

I enjoy how the documentary’s put together. Theroux doesn’t focus on one person for too long, but he’s made sure to circle back to people so the documentary holds your attention. He interviewed multiple streamers and podcasters, which means you get to see the same moment from multiple perspectives. It’s a very well put-together documentary.

Theroux does a very good job asking questions; it’s clear he’s trying to fully understand what “alpha males” are saying and why. He was able to remain calm and level-headed throughout everything, and manages to appear largely unaffected by all the attempts to rile him up, so major props to him for that. 

Now, let’s get into the content: buckle up.

Theroux interviewed five people: Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy (Sneako), Amrou Fudl (Myron Gaines), Harrison Sullivan (HSTikkyTokky), Justin Waller and Ed Matthews. All are online content creators who are involved with “manosphere” type content — some are streamers, while others are podcasters. De Balinthazy was banned from numerous platforms for hate speech, while Fudl is a co-host of the “Fresh & Fit” podcast.

These five men are all very good at two things: hypocrisy and backtracking. This is something that Theroux digs up. A couple of them mention they believe in “one-sided monogamy,” meaning their partners are loyal, but they’re allowed to sleep around. Theroux attempted to ask some of the women involved with these men about their feelings. Interestingly, they seem to be okay with it (though one did leave her partner eventually). Waller believes in a one-sided monogamy for himself, but states that he doesn’t promote it for everyone.

Sullivan also made a point of saying he thinks OnlyFans models are “disgusting,” while simultaneously profiting off models by managing them. He also makes several prejudiced statements, which he later tries to say doesn’t mean he is prejudiced. 

Theroux also notes that many of the people involved in the manosphere believe Jewish people are responsible for things wrong with the world. In addition, De Balinthazy believes Satanists are in control of everything. Seeing this documentary and hearing the hate-filled language these people speak, it makes it difficult and horrifying to think some people, as young as 13, consume and internalize this content. 

Content aside, it’s an incredibly eye-opening documentary. Theroux does a great job of handling the subject matter and presenting it in a professional and informative manner. It’s a difficult watch for sure, but if you can stomach it, it’s worth checking out on Netflix. For those that don’t want to, it’s okay. I watched it for you.
