Be kind to yourself this year. Go to my paid partner https://zocdoc.com/marina and find the awesome care you deserve for FREE! Celebrity interviews have officially gone off the rails. From chaotic press junket moments to influencers asking actors about Labubus and Skibidi Toilet, and somehow it’s only getting worse!! In this video, I’m diving deep into the rise of TikTok-style interviews, the downfall of real journalism, the takeover of influencer press, and why podcasts like Call Her Daddy have replaced traditional media entirely... We’ll talk about what happened with the Wicked press tour, and the Fantastic Four backlash. This isn’t just cringey… it’s genuinely damaging to the movie industry, and honestly? I’ve had enough!! If you love movies, acting, or complaining about the state of Hollywood, this one’s for you!

the decline of intelligence and critical thinking😭
You said it: they're waiting for their turn to speak. That's it
Dude had the opportunity of a lifetime to interview Liam and asked him if he knew what a labubu was??? SHUN THAT INFLUENCER
Man I can feel the awkwardness especially from the more grizzled, and aging actors who’ve been in this line work and have been professional all there careers, and are stuck having to answer some bizarre and ridiculous questions that don’t even correlate with the project.
When we decided that an “influencer “ was a thing, we were lost in the downward spiral of narcissism.
Sean Evans literally is a perfect example of how to do these types of interviews. So many guests have seemed so appreciative of his questions & research.
Hot Ones has become my favorite way to get to know celebrities nowadays because of the in depth questions he asks. I love it when a celebrity is pleasantly surprised with his research and how good his questions are, and it helps that he’s not just making the celebrity eat the wings, but he endures the pain with them, it creates an interesting kind of bond between interviewer and interviewee
Crazy people would still support "Call Her Daddy" or whatever. Why do we give the worst people the most attention/money? It's sad and depressing.
Omg this is so important to talk about because people don’t know how to talk to people like that anymore it’s like they have no questions prepared and just say the things TikTok would say even when you can tell they’re uncomfortable
Imagine asking Liam Neeson about a Labubu 💀
How do these “interviewers” have the audacity to ask these dumb questions? And who green lights this shit?
This is why I don't watch "Interviews" by "Influencers"
1:09 Liam Neeson deserves better than this.
I hate this trend, acting is a serious profession and actors pour months of their time into roles only to be asked about Labubus. Devaluing journalism and the industry
This is like giving a person the job as a surgeon because they watched 5 episodes of Gray's anatomy and did good in their biology test once in year 7.
After witnessing this, I have to say, in all honesty, what on Earth has this world come to, and how did we get here?
5:43 This shift happened when shorts and Reels fried most of our brains after 2020. It's nearly impossible to even watch a 1 hour TV episode without checking the phone for most of us.
Interviewer here! I've been covering TIFF as a member of the press ever since 2018, and every single interview I attempt to get on the carpet has been something I like to thoroughly research, because I went to film school with the hopes of learning more about the process from the people involved. At this year's festival, I ended up doing very few interviews because I just knew I couldn't get these artists to share as much as they used to. I really appreciate you making this video, because even as someone trying to adapt to an Instagram model for the sake of accessibility, it's really frustrating seeing so many of these interviews be so shallow. And for someone like myself, who's trying to reach other film students, it's become very frustrating because our reach has slowly decreased as a result. Keep up the good work, Marina!
Hot Ones is the only remaining sensible celebrity interview show right now.
I studied journalism. Seven semesters. I did all the practical stuff, all the theoretical stuff. Now I see jobs with descriptions like „speak fluent gen z language“???? Most „journalism“ jobs are just social media manager jobs and I REFUSE to do these. Make a fool out of myself for a company I don’t even like, no thanks.
