Seth Rogen On His Most Successful Movies

[@CptWhit3y]

Shooting Pineapple Express, Superbad, and Knocked Up....all within 12 months is crazy!

[@JonJayAllDay]

Fr that was a crazy year

[@BigG507]

I would argue that Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle were actually the first ones that broke that celling. I guess because they had a 9 million budget film, is still considered a small budget film. But when it came it it was huge

[@Aoekin]

I would say the same thing, to me it was a good production movie and funny.

[@film79]

That first Cheech and Chong movie was from Paramount and it had a plot plus it was very successful. Also maybe Half Baked and Friday didnt make as much as Pineapple Express but they were both just as big in pop culture and both were slick studio comedy's.

[@clickclack196]

How High????

No that's not what he's talking about he's literally just talking about using fish pool water as fertilizer so he doesn't have to use as many nutrients and pesticides... I know because I do it and it's very common in the industry as a way to save money and keep things natural

Yea I slightly disagreed with that statement also , cheech and Chong was the reigning king prior to these movies

Also how much helium did he inhale right before sitting down to be on camera?

what?

[@williamnajera1173]

@@jimmyhooks I just think it's a little sanctimonious to say the movie that came first and influenced his movie was the less impactful one, and I thought he should have let that question get asked instead of giving a hot take about how his movie was better. Was that so hard to distinguish?

[@jodythomas4324]

Bro, I absolutely love Pineappme Express, easily a top 5 comedy of all time for me (I was born in ‘94) but I’ve never considered this an action film in any way shape or form, I know it had the car chase and a few other scenes like that but just no, lol it’s a comedy through and through, with a few high stakes moments.

[@deloreanized]

This proves the American Dream is still alive and kicking. The problem is, and I think it's getting worse, in the last 10 or 15 years, there's no middle ground when it comes to "making it in Hollywood". It's either zero or it's 100%. And it kind of sucks. That's why he have Florence Pugh, Timothy Chamaliet (and now Jacob Elordi & Barry Keoghan) showing up in EVERYTHING. The operating system behind the industry is so ruthless that, all of a sudden, Tom Holland & Zendaya seem to be so far away from their heyday as Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart do. It's THAT wild.

Big Congrads to Seth for his ability to have a company that is able to push through quality stories! He has multiple projects in the air at once and he has a much higher than average success rate, for a decade plus.

I think that my favorite movie of Seth’s is knocked up. That’s the one that sticks out mostly for me. Of course he has plenty of other movies that are crazy funny. I think I’m going to have to watch pineapple express again. Maybe I didn’t get through the whole movie when watching it because it felt like the first 20 minutes or so seemed kind of a boring but I’ll give it another chance if I can find the movie and watch it all the way through. The 40 year old virgin of course was hilarious and epic, but I can’t really give credit to Seth for that movie because it really didn’t star him and I don’t think he was the one who came up with the idea.
