Despite the release of his film Unfrosted being a month ago, Jerry Seinfeld continues to capture attention with his comments on current societal norms. Recently on Bari Weiss’ podcast, the comedian spoke about America’s “agreed-upon hierarchy” post-WWII and shared his thoughts on “dominant masculinity.”
In the dialogue, Seinfeld concurred with Weiss on the ’60s vibe of Unfrosted and its nod to a bygone era’s sense of “style.” Seinfeld candidly expressed missing a certain form of masculinity and noted his admiration for iconic figures such as JFK and Muhammad Ali, while honestly acknowledging that he doesn’t see himself among them.
His stance on societal “hierarchy” has also been a subject of contention, highlighted by the reaction to his commencement address at Duke University which faced protests due to his views on Israel and the situation in Gaza. He has also mentioned his belief in the importance of audience feedback, even though this may have sometimes conflicted with his personal views.
If you were curious about the deeper, more complex themes within Jerry Seinfeld’s film on Pop-Tarts, these recent discussions shed some light on that.
