 Welcome to the Adam does movies podcast. I'm your host Adam, of course and today on the episode I wanted to go over the topic of Hollywood stars celebrities People that are at the upper echelon of society of high-world class doing movies talking pictures And of course putting their foot in their mouths. They're just like us They really are. I mean, they're they're us but with all the money and All the power and things at their disposal that would make them their true self, I guess Oftentimes people look at celebrities and say, you know, I can't relate to this person They're completely out of touch with the the common man And I understand that to a point a lot of them have grown up now at this point Nepo babies their mom or dad was in the acting business. They they grew up in Hollywood So they really only know what they know from, you know The experiences that they've lived which typically is in a mansion surrounded by like-minded people But there are plenty of stars that came from nothing that Rows the ranks that that climbed on the shoulders of their fellow man and sprung ahead to become a list celebrities And those are the ones I find more interesting But that being said they all say stupid shit just like you and I do Sometimes it's Speaking to the the masses and and just kind of putting it out there and saying listen I'm willing to die on this hill and say what needs to be said and at other times They're just straight up saying racist shit like Roseanne Barr and getting kicked off your own show Which is crazy But yeah, I look at it from both sides of the coin now cancel culture that was a thing I think it still might be I'm not sure I'm not I'm not relevant enough to really get any blowback of any sorts from it I also don't say dumb crap. That's another thing. That's Kind of important, you know when you're when you're selling yourself or building a brand or an image and putting yourself out there It's good to kind of you know, take a step back and think before you say things Think before you tweet things or X things. I don't even know what it's called anymore Elon Musk Completely screwed the pooch on this whole Twitter fiasco. It's a nightmare now. What what what do I call anything Elon you ass? Anyway rant aside about Twitter. I Just don't understand like let's take Gina Carino for instance. You're working for multi Billion trillion dollar company Disney. You're on a show called the Mandalorian. You're not a great actress Let's put that out there and that's fine. There's plenty of actors that aren't great either that have, you know Stallone Schwartz nigger Jean-Claude van Damme Steven Freakin, what's his name? Who's the guy that always fights? Walruses and the Steven Seagal Remember that gem of an actor. Yeah, I would say these guys are They're not gonna be winning any Oscars, but they are really good at what they do They play to their strengths and we'll get more on that later But my point is when you're Gina Carino and you have this awesome once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be on a show called the Mandalorian Maybe don't keep tweeting out shit that goes off brand from Disney Regardless of what she's saying is true or has merit. I truly don't even know what she tweeted or said on interviews I just know that she was kicked off the Mandalorian for saying things after being worn several times And that seems to be the pattern with these idiots is They don't know when to stop or maybe it's a calculated risk They're willing to take and she already had other things lined up and she didn't need the Mandalorian I'm not sure. I I also don't care that much. I just find it fascinating how people are so excited to Completely destroy an actor or actress over putting their foot in their mouth. I Mean I do see this on my channel even which is by no means, you know a huge popular successful hit show It's just you know, I put out videos constantly. So I'm gonna get blowback. I'm gonna get pushback when I say something that You know is incorrect Maybe I flubbed the name of an actor or actress which is very commonplace for me or perhaps I get the date wrong Or I just have a take that's different than others I've been noticing And this has been going on since the beginning of the internet since the beginning of time I noticed people will go out of their way to say really shitty things Just to prop themselves up because their life isn't that interesting. They're a sad individual They have nothing going on so the easiest way to cling to some sort of value I guess is to devalue someone else to put them down to check them. I Have never in my life Gone on a YouTube channel and started talking shit about the creator. I Don't even I don't even know how you get in that mindset I fully understand going and watching a video not agreeing with the person and saying hey I think you're wrong and here's why But I guess maybe that's too rational of an approach to think others could take I mean others do take that but There's a good amount of people now that don't and there's even more people that profit on the stupid stuff Hollywood members say stupid stupid stuff. See I'm tripping up people are gonna call me out Brie Larson Hollywood darling Brie Larson many years. She's built an entire cottage industry for people Around giving her shit for two or three things max that she said that were maybe out of line to some people Or taken out of context most likely for others. It doesn't matter They're making a lot of I shouldn't say a lot, but they are making money off of this They're building up a base. They're building up followers who agree like yeah How dare she get on our high horse and say this movie's not for men out of context. It doesn't matter She said something it was stupid and people are gonna call her on it And then they're gonna keep calling her on that same thing over and over Well, now we have the newest flavor of the week Rachel Zegler. I'm sure I said that wrong. She was in Shazam 2 She was in that Spielberg film that I don't think many people saw it was a remake. What was that called? I Should look it up quick Rachel Zegler IMDB. I'm gonna kick my west side story. Yes Spielberg's west side story. It's it's Nobody saw it. It's crazy. I still haven't seen I heard it's amazing, too. And I heard she's really good in it what she's not good at is Speaking publicly about the new film snow white that no one asked for She's gonna be in that she's snow white Rachel Zegler snow white. It just makes sense for Disney and I believe the seven dwarves aren't even dwarves anymore or referred to dwarves. There's something else because They're trying to be politically correct to a fictitious race of characters I guess I don't I don't know what the hell's going on at Disney either They they're just completely insane at some points with their decisions But Rachel is going for broke and just completely bashing the original snow white Saying how the love stories lame they might have some sort of a love interest in this if they allow the dude to even be in The final cut because Hollywood edits the crap out of the movies. She's being kind of tongue-in-cheek. She's coming off Incredibly unlikable. I'm sorry, but she really is and this isn't a man or woman interview thing I've actually died on the hill for Brie Larson over the years. I don't get all the hate she gets She's a good-looking blonde actress who can actually act And she was in a pretty mediocre movie called the avenger called captain marvel And then they keep shoehorning her into things and it's not good. The character sucks But Brie Larson seems perfectly charming and fine Um when she's not being interviewed Rachel Zegler though I'm not getting good vibes from this actress. She's really aggressive with her thoughts on snow white A property I don't give two shits about and I think most people have kind of moved past So it's like there are these hot takes that she's putting out That no one asked for but people certainly seem to be upset about so we're seeing just I mean I'm seeing in my feed hundreds and hundreds of tiktok reactors Holding up their stupid little microphone and going off about Rachel Zegler's comments. How dare you? How dare you? Attack this movie You have no idea and she really doesn't I think she only watched the original recently one time and wasn't a fan So it's definitely insulting to then cast her and as the character and then all these other people You know look at her and say well, there's Thousands hundreds of thousands of other actors out there that could probably go out and play this part But you go for her now she can sing She is cute She is a hot up coming star. That's the reason disney picked her. That's the reason they always go for these different actresses Plus she's not white as hell Which is snow white skin color So they get to also play off the drama by casting someone a little bit more diverse for the character Who's literally white as hell according to the story But they're taking it in a different direction right? They're shaking things up So I called snow white Why not just make it its own property? Well disney wants to capitalize on the name It has nothing to do with preserving their um Their classics right it has nothing to do with respecting what came before It's all about cashing in on the name snow white and the seven dwarves and apparently they think they're still uh gold to mine From those dwarves and they're going to do it This whole rachel zeigler thing on snow white um I think it's funny I think she said some stupid shit But i'm not going to come out with 35 videos on the topic and blast her and act all offended and clutch my pretend pearls Like a lot of these other channels are doing Because it's a great way to get eyeballs on you and get people to you know Working people up over things that don't matter in the slightest is just the epitome of the last several years Isn't it that's really the the bread and butter of online and people that Truly have too much time on their hands and really are I think a little bit privileged in that respect If you can get up every day go on youtube and get pissed off that an actor said something stupid Something's going right Something's going right in your life Or very wrong. Maybe very wrong because you Clearly need to find a hobby or a passion project like myself I have a full-time job where I I design websites and I develop them on a front end um You know landscape and then I have my hobby Which is my youtube channel Which I also treat as a second job. I put a lot of time and energy into it Plus I have a wife and kids I work out every day like I I feel like i'm a well rounded individual And I look at the comments and I see some of the things people say on the day today And I just think what the fuck is wrong with people Why are they so obsessed about this? Why are they so? Just insulted by someone saying something dumb Here's the hard cold truth about actors. They are legitimately the exact same as you and I They either got incredibly lucky landing a role. Well, that's always in play getting incredibly lucky and getting the role that that's It's a needle in a haystack situation Unless you know someone in the industry or your dad is Sylvester Stallone or Uma Thurman or whatever you are really gonna have to Put it all out there every single day to try to land a role and um Yeah, that that's that's a dangerous game I never went down that road because I just I couldn't see myself living out of a car or trying to Be a waiter while also Additioning for roles incredibly hard stressful stressful stressful situation This is why a co-host helps once in a while to keep me from stumbling over my own stupidity But yeah actors they're they're genuinely, you know, just like us with a lot of money And they they say really dumb things they have dumb opinions just like you and I I I said a lot of stupid things in my time Thankfully a lot of it was on camera Opinions change over time. There's lots of celebrities that 10 years back We're not near as progressive as they claim to be today or they maybe really are progressive today But they weren't last week You can change opinions you can sculpt minds All it takes is a close friend or a colleague or someone you respect Or listen to daily to kind of start turning the wheels in your head and saying, hey, you know what maybe um That photo you did 12 years ago where you're in blackface not the best look Maybe you should try to remove that From your your timeline and throw out an apology if you want or just let it go But then on the other hand You have these miserable individuals These sad sacks of shit that will go out of their way to comb through your entire history Again, I'm talking about going through celebrity history. It's not mine. Nobody cares about me and finding that photo That's distasteful Finding that tweet from a decade back Finding that post on facebook you said at three in the morning when you were really upset and didn't really mean it And they will use that shit against you. They will target you with it Rachel Zegler is throwing it all up front. She's showing exactly who she is She's saying exactly what she thinks. She's not hiding it. So in that respect, uh, you know fair play I like that a lot more than I like the person that says something but is doing something completely different That's the person I don't care for Rachel says some dumb stuff. That's fine. That's her prerogative bobby brown I don't have any any issue What she said I don't agree with but but you know the fact that she's saying it Okay We'll see where that takes you Hollywood we'll see where you end up off of that I think that disney sits back on stuff like this and goes, okay Let's see if this bad press is good press for us. They have not had some wins lately They've had a lot of losses Their shows are not doing well their movies have been bombing lately indiana jones lost a ton of money I think elemental broke even it might have actually started making money and that was a good film I enjoyed that. I think word of mouth really helped take that forward haunted mansion There isn't a chance in hell that made a dime. I bet that lost quite a bit of money There's several others that aren't jumping to the top of my head, but I know they're out there And um, yeah, so this rachel stuff. Maybe they're looking at it and thinking well controversy might spring Spring some people go into the theaters to watch this. I don't know. I haven't seen a single Thing about snow white. I don't care about this movie It's probably going to be hot trash because all these live-action remakes range from competent to pretty awful With maybe one diamond in the rough, but for the most part they're just rough And this isn't going to change. I think that um because we do have this outraged culture And people are enjoying watching and listening to people get freaked out about stuff that it's just going to get worse and worse Anytime someone says Anytime someone steps just a little bit out of line They're going to try to cancel them or they're going to freak out at them And then they're going to claim that it's awful when it happens the other way around right like You know so-and-so made a movie about this and they stand by this But they're getting thrown under the bus and they're trying to cancel them because he believes in this god Or he goes to this church or you know the he's against this or that And then they'll turn around and they'll try to cancel someone else For something that they don't agree with it's stupid on both sides. I hate it And it won't change You know, we've had the crappy smut magazines outing porn. I'm all good with that We have had the the crappy smut magazines meaning the like The gossip tabloids those were big before the internet was around I knew parents that had those on their on their couch things It was always like did tom cruise mary an alien and they had a baby together Did so and so, you know, it's all just insane propositions But that's really what's happening on tiktok and youtube They're taking the insane stuff and they're just kind of running with what real people say and then they put their twist on it So oh rachel zegler said this but what she's really saying is she hates this and that and it just spirals out of control My take I think is a sensible one Let's let's allow actors and actresses to make mistakes To say dumb things because we're human and we air that that's a thing that we do a lot of We air is to air is human as they say And maybe we forgive once in a while Maybe we don't even need to forgive. Maybe there's nothing to forgive. They just have their opinion And we leave it up to their boss their employer to make the final decision in the case of You know, rachel, it's gonna be disney If it goes against if it goes off brand if it goes against their Whatever agreements they made then they can mandalorian her ass too and say, you know what? We warned you you're still putting out stuff that goes against how we feel as a company the stance is we take You do not represent us in the best light and since we do pay your bills You can you can show yourself out because you're done And uh, yeah, we'll see. I don't think that's gonna happen But I don't I also don't think she's as disposable as maybe uh, uh Who is the chicas time? I was gonna I want to say rounder ronda rousey, but that's not the other the other, uh Fighter woman. I already forgot her name. She's not just disposable. I don't think But maybe everyone is with the house of mouse. Oh, sorry, rachel. I saw what you're doing. Uh, you mother fucker get out of here Oh mickey's vicious Let me know your thoughts. What do you think about the uh, the actors putting their foot in their mouth? Do you think they're just completely out of touch? They don't understand the common man? Or do you think maybe it's they're out of touch sometimes? with what you think But maybe not with what someone else thinks Or maybe we should just you know, let them be let them have their dumb interviews Let them say their dumb stuff. Uh, man bruce willis used to say stupid shit all the time. He was a terrible interviewee There was a Harrison Ford was a terrible interviewee too The stuff that you could go back and look at stuff Clint Eastwood said Or i'm sure a lot of these older dogs and you would be like, oh my god How did that person continue acting? Well, because most people just kind of didn't pay attention To that stuff whenever there was interviews press tours things like that really it was just movie buffs watching it And you didn't really care about their personal opinions. Anyways, you just wanted to hear them talk about their films And that's that's probably how we should leave it right separate the art from the artist I mean you almost have to there's a lot of whackjabs out there You wouldn't you wouldn't be able to enjoy anything if you were keeping a checklist of the bad people in Hollywood Or just in general you wouldn't enjoy anything Okay, let me know if you're on youtube leave a comment Please like the video if you like the video and subscribe if you're new here I would love to have you stick around if you're on spotify or apple podcast And you stumbled on that for the first time subscribe as well I would love to have more ears on the show as well All right, thanks for watching and hopefully i'll catch you next time
