Primary
The film is a mockumentary comedy that satirizes celebrity culture and the entertainment industry through awkward humor. Its central themes and narrative focus on individual ambition and the absurdity of media, which are largely apolitical and do not promote a specific ideological viewpoint.
The film features a diverse cast primarily through its format of interviewing numerous real-life celebrities. However, the casting of its core fictional roles does not indicate explicit DEI-driven choices or intentional race/gender swaps. The narrative focuses on comedic interactions and does not explicitly engage with DEI themes or offer a strong critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis incorporates queer-coded and homoerotic humor as a recurring comedic device, primarily to generate awkwardness for its celebrity guests. This humor is incidental to the show's main premise of parody interviews and does not aim to affirm or denigrate LGBTQ+ identity, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.
The film satirizes the superficiality and hypocrisy of its host, Zach Galifianakis, who occasionally employs vaguely Christian or moralistic rhetoric in an absurd and inappropriate manner. The narrative consistently frames Zach's character as flawed and ridiculous, thereby critiquing his behavior rather than the religion itself.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
