Joe Rogan: Triggered (2016)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Anthony Giordano
Cast: Joe Rogan
Running time: 63 minutes



Last summer, Joe Rogan took the stage of The Fillmore (San Fransisco) by storm and took no prisoners has he launched into an hour long comedic assault on a crowd that seemed to enjoy every second of it.

In Triggered, Rogan discusses drugs, politics, raising children, Caitlyn Jenner, the Kardashians and the difference between men and women. The American comic does not skate around any issue and he does not stay on the surface; he delves right in, without a single fear of saying things the way he sees them. That is truly refreshing, in this era of political correctness. I particularly loved the way he exposed how we often sacrifice efficiency and quality in the name of equality.

The comedic style of Joe Rogan is right up my alley as a fan. It is edgy, it is raw, it is a little angry; it is roaringly funny. No punches are pulled, which is not surprising considering Rogan is also involved in the world of MMA. I’m sure it will not be everybody’s cup of tea, but, in my book, it deserves nothing but full marks.
