We need to talk about what’s going on with celebrity interviews (https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/megan-thee-stallion-hannah-berner-influencers-red-carpet-interviews-journalism), because they’ve never felt weirder, more awkward, or more TikTok-ified than they do right now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEACDrR497w). From the cringe Fantastic Four interviews (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG_ngWnDGEc) to influencers (https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1jt0fho/interviews_are_dead_influencers_killed_them/) asking movie stars about gen z slang (https://www.google.com/search?q=gen+z+slang&sca_esv=c2df872898b90107&sxsrf=AE3TifMoLcBHAA4WfWAn33PVnwai8mR3RA%3A1753562145708&ei=ITyFaOqGK5ma0PEPjPqBmAw&ved=0ahUKEwiqm6WGsNuOAxUZDTQIHQx9AMMQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=gen+z+slang&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAaAhgCIgtnZW4geiBzbGFuZzIIEAAYgAQYsQMyCBAAGIAEGLEDMgoQABiABBgUGIcCMgQQABgDMgUQABiABDILEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAESPoCUABYkgFwAXgAkAEAmAFYoAFYqgEBMbgBA8gBAPgBAfgBApgCAqACYqgCFMICBxAjGCcY6gLCAgoQIxgnGOoCGIsDwgIUEAAYgAQYkQIYtAIYigUY6gLYAQHCAhAQABgDGLQCGOoCGI8B2AEBmAMF8QW9sGRYZDuf7boGBggBEAEYAZIHATKgB_AEsgcBMbgHXcIHAzItMsgHCA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp) and thirst traps replacing actual journalism, the movie press tour has officially lost the plot.

In this video, I break down how traditional press interviews are being replaced by viral moments, how studios are pushing TikTok-style promotion, and why even real journalists are being forced to play along. From David Corenswet's thirst trap roll-out in Superman to Reece Feldman doing it right, we’re diving into the full collapse of movie publicity, and what it says about how we treat celebrities today.

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!
