However, after his wife passes away, he is pulled back into the world of organized crime when a gangster’s son steals his car and kills his dog, which was a gift from his late wife. Wick seeks revenge and goes on a killing spree against the Russian mafia. The movie has had 4 parts till now with the recent edition being released on the 24th of March earlier this year.

Joe Rogan however, has a different take on the action hero. In episode 1939 of his popular podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ he was talking to hip-hop artist B-Real. Joe Rogan talked about the hyper-violent movies that were out there and mentioned John Wick. He felt the movie makes no sense.

Rogan further added what he felt was crazy “John Wick has now killed a total of 299 people on screen. That’s more than the combined total of Jason Voorhees and all the Friday the 13th movies he is the real serial killer bro he’s killed and that’s all the people he killed after he retired from killing people for the Russian mob.” Joe Rogan might not be a John Wick fan but the movie franchise has acquired a huge fan base.
