Two People Paid $40,000 Each to Learn Pottery and Smoke Weed with Seth Rogen
If you’ve ever wanted to smoke weed with Seth Rogen, we now know how to make that dream a reality: Simply shell out 40 grand. At Rogen’s annual Hilarity for Charity event last weekend, two people paid $40,000 each to enjoy a pottery lesson and smoke session from the stoner comedian-vase maker, by far the highest bid at the auction. Rogen and his wife, Lauren Miller, started the Alzheimer’s awareness organization Hilarity for Charity after Miller’s mother was diagnosed with the disease. Per Page Six, Saturday night’s event, which marked the 10th anniversary of the nonprofit, featured standup from Nicole Beyer and Ron Funches, tap dancing from Chloe Arnold’s Syncopated Ladies, and a set from magician Justin Willman. Samantha Ronson served as DJ, while Natasha Leggero and Jillian Bell acted a...
The Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans Reels Out Legendary Director’s Rise: Watch
The first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical feature film, The Fabelmans, has arrived and it looks to be quite the coming-of-age spectacle. Watch the preview below. Gabriel LaBelle stars as Spielberg’s teenage stand-in Sammy Fabelman, an aspiring filmmaker in post-World War II Arizona with a supportive, artistically-minded mother, strikingly inhabited by Michelle Williams, and a successful scientist father, played by Paul Dano. Over about a decade, the movie tracks Sammy as his budding hobby develops into a full-blown obsession that is simultaneously praised and judged by his parents, community, and family friend/”funcle” Bennie (Seth Rogen). The cast also features Judd Hirsch as Sammy’s biological Uncle Boris, Jeannie Berlin, Robin Bartlett, Julia Butters, Keeley Karsten...
Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Sebastian Stan, and Pete Davidson Cast in GameStop Short Squeeze Movie
Craig Gillespie has cast some very familiar faces in his next directing endeavor Dumb Money. Deadline reports that Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Sebastian Stan, and Pete Davidson are set to star in the forthcoming adaptation of Ben Mezrich’s book The Antisocial Network, which documents the 2021 GameStop short squeeze that shook Wall Street. As a refresher: Early last year, the hedge fund Melvin Capital used a tactic called “shorting,” borrowing GameStop shares they believed were overpriced and immediately selling them, hoping that their prices would later go down. Because Melvin didn’t own the shares, they would then buy them back and return them to the original lender, making a profit. Shorting can, of course, be a massive risk for the seller. In this case, the Reddit board r/wallstreetbets...
Seth Rogen Hosts Table Read of Friday’s “You Got Knocked the Fuck Out” Scene: Watch
After taking on Seinfeld the day before, Seth Rogen and his Table Reads series at Netflix Is a Joke Festival went in a decidedly different direction on Monday night by reading through Ice Cube and DJ Pooh’s 1995 stoner classic Friday. One of the highlights of the performance, naturally, was the recreation of the scene in which Deebo launches Red into the air after the latter asks for his bike back, leading Smokey to exclaim, “You got knocked the fuck out!” With Rogen giving stage directions, O’Shea Jackson Jr. stood in for his father Ice Cube’s character Craig Jones. GaTa filled in as Chris Tucker’s Smokey with Brian Simpson as DJ Pooh’s Red and Lil Rel Howery as Tiny “Zeus” Lister Jr.’s Deebo. After promising to get Craig high because “It’s Friday, you ain’t got no job, and...
Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Aziz Ansari, and Kathryn Hahn Table Read Classic Seinfeld “Shrinkage” Scene: Watch
Netflix Is a Joke Festival continued on Sunday night with Seth Rogen’s Table Reads series, which saw the comedian and his famous friends perform three classic episodes of Seinfeld on behalf of his Hilarity for Charity Alzheimer’s nonprofit. In one such performance, Rogen, Jack Black, Aziz Ansari, and Kathryn Hahn ran through the sitcom’s classic “Shrinkage” scene. The “Shrinkage” discussion occurs in the Season 5 Seinfeld episode “The Hamptons,” in which Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine travel to see a friend’s baby on Long Island. After everyone but George sees his girlfriend, Jane, topless on the beach, he attempts to get back at them by sneaking a peek at Jerry’s girlfriend, Rachel. However, Rachel barges in on George changing instead, where she laughs at his, uh, post-sw...
Sex Comes to the Internet in New Trailer for Pam & Tommy: Watch
Today, the internet can feel like a sex distribution mechanism that is only occasionally interrupted by selfies and memes. But that wasn’t always the case, as director Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) makes clear in the new trailer for Pam & Tommy. Starring Sebastian Stan as Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and Lily James as a dead ringer for Baywatch‘s Pamela Anderson, Pam & Tommy dramatizes the sex-tape theft that proved how incorrigibly horny everyone is, as well as what happens when two real people get caught in the crossfire. The tale begins in 1995, when a disgruntled contractor named Rand Gauthier (Seth Rogen, also executive producing) broke into a safe and discovered the tape. Along with Milltie (Nick Offerman), he decided to try and make some money. “...
Seth Rogen Got Super High Before Going to Adele’s CBS Special
Here at Consequence, we’re not typically ones to bash a little recreational cannabis or Delta-8 use before a live music event. Seth Rogen, however, learned the hard way that if you choose to go that route, you might want to double-check that the event isn’t being taped for national television: As the comedian divulged during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Wednesday night (December 1st), he arrived at a recent Adele concert, stoned and ready, only to discover that the show was being taped for the singer’s two-hour CBS special, Adele One Night Only. “I got an invitation — ‘do you want to go to a small Adele concert?’ is what I remember absorbing,” Rogen began. “[My wife Laurie and I] were like, ‘it’s an Adele concert! It’s in the park!’ We smoked a ton of weed,...

Seth Rogen Tells Comedians to Quit Whining About Cancel Culture
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-26T17:05:01+00:00“>May 26, 2021 | 1:05pm ET Seth Rogen has spent his career cracking jokes about everything from prepubescent struggles to political stereotypes, and most of it is quite literally captured on film. It may come as a surprise, then, that Rogen is distancing himself from fellow comedians who believe cancel culture will be the death of their industry. In a new interview with Good Morning Britain, Rogen said that he’s accepted some jokes in his older movies have aged poorly because that’s “the nature of comedy,” not “cancel culture.” “I think conceptually those movies are sound and I think there’s a reason they’ve lasted. Jokes are not things that necessarily are built...
