Jake Shane is entertaining on TikTok. The skits that he does have us laughing from beginning to end. We also love his podcast, Therapuss. It’s as if he’s kinda the therapist and the celebrity that he’s interviewing spills everything. But what also makes the show interesting is that Jake ends up spilling too. He just seems so genuine and excited over anyone that he has there.
His fanboy is showing, and we’re not mad about that.
Shane had his friend, Glen Powell, on the podcast, and it was over an hour of pure entertainment. The two talked about everything, including cancel culture, to which Powell talked about an awkward run-in with someone that he liked who has been cancelled.
CANCEL CULTURE
“I was at a party and there was somebody that had basically been on the ropes in terms of sort of getting canceled… It was one of those Hollywood parties where it’s like there are cameras and press and all that stuff,” Glen told Shane.
He continued, “And this person had made a lot of, some of my favorite movies, and I was like, ‘oh, like, this is great.’ He came up and he said, ‘nice to meet you’ so I was like, ‘oh, big fan!’ and then a photographer said, ‘hey, can we take a picture of the two of you guys?’”
Powell continued, “And this person was recently canceled. And it was not good. I was a fan of their work, but not a fan of their choices, so I was just kind of being nice. But then, when they want to take a picture with you, I realized very quickly how, like, I was like, ‘oh, I don’t know if it’s a good idea.’ He clearly clocked that I was like, ‘oh, this is probably not a good idea.’ And I realized this guy, his face is toxic, you know, like going out to the world. Like people are having a visceral reaction to this person in terms of the bad choices they’ve made.”
I mean, that picture probably wouldn’t have been a good idea. Cancel culture isn’t an ideal thing, but it does happen.
CHAD POWERS
The actor continued by talking about cancel culture and his character, Chad Powers.
He said, “And, you know, the character that I play in Chad, it’s like Russ Holliday is a guy that just made a mistake, right? He’s not a bad guy. Some of these other people that get canceled… they should lie where they’re shot. But like with Russ, he made a mistake. He acted, you know, poorly about it, and the world kind of didn’t forgive him, and he couldn’t forgive himself. And what I found to be really interesting is that in today’s day and age.”
