Adam Brody Talks Wokeness and Cancel Culture on Armchair Expert

Adam Brody recently shared his thoughts on the controversial topic of "wokeness" and cancel culture during an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard and Monica Padman. Brody, known for his roles in "The O.C." and "Nobody Wants This," expressed his views on the current state of activism and the backlash against it.

Brody, who aligns more with liberal ideologies, acknowledged that while there are excesses on all sides of any major movement, he believes that the positive outcomes of such movements outweigh the negatives. He criticized those who, in his view, overly focus on the pitfalls of cancel culture, suggesting that such a focus detracts from more pressing issues. He emphasized that the changes in the industry over the past decade have been largely positive and that the ongoing adjustments are part of the process.

Brody supports open dialogue and differing opinions but insists that fundamental issues, like global warming, should be addressed. His perspective underscores a broader view that society should focus on collective problems and solutions rather than getting bogged down by cultural controversies.

As he promotes his new rom-com series "Nobody Wants This," Brody reflects on his role opposite Kristen Bell. The show, created by Erin Foster, explores a unique love story involving a sex podcaster and a rabbi. Brody, who is Jewish but not actively practicing, appreciates the show's modern take on religion and ritual. He finds value in the idea of integrating religious practices into everyday life, even outside of traditional settings.

"Nobody Wants This" is set to premiere on September 26, showcasing Brody's latest work and offering viewers a contemporary look at faith and relationships.
