Morphology
Hollywoke + agenda
The phrase is clearly compositional: 'Hollywoke' is a blend of 'Hollywood' + 'woke' and combined with 'agenda' yields the idea of a perceived promotion of progressive/socially aware values in the entertainment industry. However, 'Hollywoke' is a novel, politically charged coinage and 'woke' is slang; because of the informal blend and pragmatic/political nuance the meaning is inferable but not fully predictable for an average B1 learner without prior exposure.
Etymology
Hollywoke agenda comes from mixing Hollywood and woke, with woke meaning being aware of social issues. People often use Hollywoke agenda as an insult to say the film world is putting social ideas into movies, so it now means a claim that the industry is pushing 'progressive' or 'politically correct' views.
