Joe Rogan is not only terrified of AI but also deeply unsettled by the undercurrents of Hollywood. As the UFC color commentator and a long-time fixture in the comedy scene, Rogan has rubbed shoulders with countless Hollywood actors and played host to a cavalcade of celebrities on his million-dollar podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. With a backstage pass to the entertainment world’s most guarded secrets, Rogan is no stranger to Hollywood’s intrigues. But recently, he uncovered even more startling revelations.

In a riveting podcast episode with the legendary Dennis Quaid, Rogan and Quaid delved into the seismic shifts in Hollywood since the 90s. They painted a vivid picture of an industry in flux, touching on everything from the golden days of cinema to the cutting-edge trends shaping today’s movie landscape. Quaid also opened up about his latest project—a film about Ronald Reagan—adding a fascinating layer to their conversation. The episode was a whirlwind of nostalgia, insight, and candid anecdotes, leaving listeners with much to ponder about the ever-evolving world of Hollywood.

Joe Rogan appalled by Hollywood

While speaking about the upcoming biopic “Reagan” on August 30, and about his music album “Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners,” they also spoke about Hollywood. Quaid revealed how the industry is losing its way due to darker aspects and insinuated that things are more sensitive now than they ever were. He said, “It got to where, where we are today you know; you are getting warned to keep your mouth shut. Because of that; it turned upside down.” Rogan agreed to this and spoke about ideologies. He explained, “It’s also one ideology that dominates especially Hollywood, dominates the entire business. You know one of the things that drove me crazy about Hollywood was some people had differing opinions about things but they would never speak out because it could damage their career.”

One toe is out of line and celebrities are getting canceled left and right is what they meant. He even said, “You know there were a couple of attempts to cancel me while we were making Reagan you know, uh kind of half-hearted I guess.” Previously the 70-year-old actor commented on the industry and explained how Hollywood lost its way. He also said that the quality of movies now is dipping lower and there is a loss of the freedom to speak up.

Rogan agreed to all of this and he too has expressed his dislike towards Hollywood and many movies in the past. Apart from that, the inclusion of AI in Hollywood is also shocking him.

Joe Rogan fears AI in Hollywood

Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), had previously gone on strike with the demand of eradicating AI in creating scripts. They also protested against the use of AI for generating similar-looking avatars like the actors for films. Even though the strikes somewhat worked, Rogan was still apprehensive about how Hollywood actors were in trouble because of AI.

He feared that actors might become ‘obsolete’ with more AI-generated things. “They’re f**ed, everyone’s f*ed, actors are f*ed, everyone’s f**ed. They don’t have much to negotiate with, unfortunately. There’s an inevitability with this kind of technology. It’s like would you write books with a feather?” he added. He even mentioned how Ashton Kutcher had spoken about the problems of AI. Even Elon Musk had induced fear into Rogan about personal security which can be disrupted by AI.

Joe Rogan is very strong in his stance and opinions and does not fear while expressing them. He has even spoken up about the new scientific findings of Terrance Howard. What do you think about his opinion on Hollywood?
