Joe Rogan Reviews Matt Walsh’s New Movie: ‘Many Moments That Are So Uncomfortable’

There are many movie critics and reviewers who simply will not give Daily Wire film auteur Matt Walsh — let alone his films — the time of day.

Hugely popular podcast host Joe Rogan has no such qualms about reviewing Walsh’s latest film, “Am I Racist?”

In fact, Rogan isn’t just comfortable talking about it — the podcaster brought on Walsh to his immensely popular show to platform it further.

The Daily Wire clipped a segment from the podcast, showing Rogan gushing over the film’s humor.

“Your movie is really funny,” Rogan said. “It’s really funny. By myself, laughing out loud hysterically, today. I watched it in the sauna. I watched it in the gym.”

The podcast host and UFC icon then took that glowing review to a whole different level.

“It’s one of the best comedies I’ve seen in a long time because there are so many moments that are so uncomfortable,” he said.

A gracious Walsh thanked Rogan, before the host began discussing one particularly viral moment from the film.

Namely, Rogan — laughing through tears — could not believe that Walsh had convinced an “anti-racist” author to give reparations to the movie’s black producer in the form of whatever cash she had on hand.

While Walsh was obviously grateful for Rogan’s supportive thoughts on “Am I Racist?” it’s not terribly clear if the movie needed Rogan’s good word.

And that’s because, by virtually any metric, the film has been a smash-hit success.

Of note, that success has also come despite fervent protests from the left, forcing at least one theater to drop a movie that wasn’t in a large number of theaters to begin with.

“Am I Racist?” debuted in theaters on Sept. 13.
