I'll take a stab that the RLM crew not really talking about woke movies and such is part to avoid controversy since their reviews that keep ro the merits of the movie already draw controversy but because they don't see "woke" as a criticism by itself. In the same way a movie can be bad without being woke a movie could in theory being woke and good. I think Jay especially would make this point that being woke alone doesn't mean the movie will be bad.
Movies like the Excorcist do get called out for being woke because it's such woke by committee, I think Jay even mentioned something along those lines. It's also the reason they kept cutting to pictures of the writers, director, and producers. The woke elements were clearly just checking marketing boxes and not legitimate ideals.
