In episode #1841 of The Joe Rogan Experience with comedian, Brian Redban, Rogan posed some questions for Hollywood while also pointing out the flaws in their demands.

He said“It’s interesting like how Hollywood is like so vocal against gun violence. Like there’s so many people like ‘we need gun control! We need gun control!’. But they are making these movies, where they shoot the f**k out of people. It’s so weird. That’s so weird. “

“Because, if ever, somebody wanted to go like, ‘hey, you guys make all these movies, making this look cool, what is the real problem? Is the real problem- people who have guns who don’t do anything and are law-abiding citizens or is the real problem- people who make movies where it’s awesome to shoot people?'”

“And I am not saying they are the problem. I don’t think they are, but, like, that whole problem is a weird problem.”

Even though Rogan isn’t fond of Hollywood that much, there are still some people who have managed to be on his good side.
