And then everyone clapped
Wasn’t that guy pretty shity to Kyle Gass?
My recollection of the situation is hazy but my understanding is they basically did a performative distancing until the heat died down and they’re still good behind the scenes. My understanding is they even started performing together again.
Seems to be what this article says too

Yeah I’m a bit too naive maybe but even at the time I couldn’t imagine him actually throwing Kyle under the bus. So it always read to me like Jack was trying to make sure some MAGA psycho didn’t come shoot a bunch of people at one of their shows and he didn’t actually have a real problem with what Kyle said. I’m glad they are actually back performing together.
Even the statement he released at the time sounded more like “I’m sorry he said it out loud, please don’t send neo-cons to shoot up our concerts.”
That’s what it sounded like to me too. Like I said maybe I’m being naive and being too charitable but I don’t think I am.
Yup. Jack Black values being brand friendly over being against genocide. Jack Black is a piece of a shit after that event and how he sold Kyle out imo.
It wasn’t about genocide, it was about Kyle publicly wishing that Trump got shot.
I don’t know if it’s being brand friendly or just not wanting to be the next people in the crosshairs of a crazy person trying to defend Trump’s honor.
Wishing the next hitter would get shot is not a bad thing. It was a joke wish he made while blowing out his birthday candles. More fucking people need to stand up and not bend over for these Nazis. Especially after how often they hide behind “it’s just a joke” themselves.
Jack black has shown his hand and he’s far from the days of Tenacious D singing the government totally sucks.
Jack black has been a negative selling point in movies since that first slop Jumanji remake. He’s just as bad as the Rock or Ryan Reynolds. Business and profits over creating anything of substance or artistic value.

Something tells me you’re not the target demo for Jack Black movies.
Yeah and he made that switch with Jumanji. Dove nose first into the corporate greed and started to milk money from parents.
Going from making classics like: Tropic Thunder, School of Rock, King Kong, Be kind rewind, Shallow Hall and even the first two Kung Fu Pandas were good.
Now it’s just: more Jumanji, Minecraft, borderlands, super Mario and milking every last drop out of Kung fu panda.
Hard disagree (except for the first sentence)
That whole scene could be cut from the film and nothing of value would be lost. If it wasn’t for the Tiktok hype, that scene would have been forgotten as filler in an otherwise amusing movie.
