Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter of divorce, personal identity, and family dynamics is inherently apolitical, and available information explicitly states no political ideology or partisan leanings are present.
The movie features a diverse cast, including a Black female actor in a central role and a same-sex couple, but available information does not indicate explicit DEI-driven casting or narrative themes. The plot focuses on a white male protagonist's personal journey without critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features Stephen, identified as Geoffrey's newlywed husband, establishing a same-sex marriage. This inclusion is positive but appears incidental, as the character and relationship are not central to the film's main plot or themes, which focus on a heterosexual couple's divorce and other elements.
The film 'Is This Thing On?' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes based on currently available information. Plot summaries and cast details focus on a couple's divorce, middle-age crisis, and identity exploration, without any mention of gender identity elements.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features original fictional characters, Alex and Tess, who are not direct portrayals of individuals with established canonical genders. The provided information explicitly states no characters have on-screen genders differing from source material or historical record.
The film is an original screenplay with new characters, loosely inspired by a real person but not a direct adaptation of established source material or a biopic of a character with a predetermined race. Therefore, no prior canonical baseline exists for comparison.
