Ace comedian Chris Rock has expressed concern about how the popular wave of cancel culture has stripped the art of comedy of its freedom and range. He lamented this while speaking on The Breakfast Club earlier in the week.
He talked about life during COVID, trying new things, and of course his new movie ‘Spiral: From the Book of Saw’ which premieres in cinemas this weekend.
Speaking on the subject, he said: “Now you have a place where people are scared to talk; especially in America, ‘people are scared to talk’. But it’s alright, we gotta make adjustments.” Chris further added that cancel culture is not bad if and when it helps people who are marginalized. He highlighted transgender people, and the physically challenged. He explained that there however is a problem when it hinders artists from expressing themselves.

That wasn’t the only subject of the over 20 minutes lively conversation though. He was also asked about his new movie Spiral and he described it as “the bloodiest episode of Law and Order you’ve ever seen”. The movie is rumoured to be the last installment in the Saw franchise.
