How Flight Risk Proves Cancel Culture Doesn't Exist

Flight Risk hits theaters this Friday, but why has there been almost no discussion about its controversial director, Mel Gibson? In this video, I take a deep dive into how Flight Risk is yet another example of why cancel culture is a myth.

Mel Gibson, a figure with a long history of genuinely terrible behavior, continues to work in Hollywood with little to no backlash for the studios that hire him. How does this keep happening? Why does the entertainment industry allow it? And will this movie's release finally put an end to the ongoing narrative from comedians and pundits claiming cancel culture is real?

Join me as I break down the Flight Risk controversy, Mel Gibson's career, and what this says about accountability in Hollywood today.

Let me know what you think of Flight Risk and the hiring of Mel Gibson here!

[mrwpg]

If cancel culture does not exist why is it applied to individuals and entire countries alike, always political and ideological opponents too... Russel Brand is one example.

Dude this question was answered years ago!! he made Hacksaw Ridge, that film was Oscar nominated .

[joncampbell]

Cancel culture definitely exists, we could sit here and name people celebrities and non-famous people who have lost their careers because of their political views for hours. The difference is that Mel Gibsons name is still worth money because ppl will watch his movies because they are either fans or he’s a good enough director that he can make good movies. But we could just as well make a video called “(insert person) proves cancel culture exists” because we can all think of people who were successfully “cancelled”

They either really, really, dropped the ball on making this movie or the female FBI agent was meant to be a shinning example of DEI hiring.

I dunno...look at the commercials for Flight Risk. "From the Academy Award Winning Director of Braveheart, Apocolypto and Hacksaw Ridge"
Ummm...you mean MEL GIBSON? It's not like he's not a household name. You don't see Speilberg's name being buried under "From the Director of E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark". I understand the general premise of your argument but their unwillingness to just say "Directed by Mel Gibson" does suggest he's not fully "in the clear" as far as Hollywood is concerned.

I totally agree with you. There are tons of conservatives who work in Hollywood. I love how people in other parts of this country think it’s all liberal and woke. Republicans and conservative actors, directors and people have historically worked in Hollywood as much as liberals. Studios are about making money and who brings in the money. This is why I pretty much ignore a lot of Star Wars YouTubers. I just laugh at them and move on. As for Mel Gibson, I have no comments about him. I’d rather keep it that way or my Sagittarius opinion will come out and then my words would ban me from YouTube. LOL. Good video as usual, Ben. You do a great job. I enjoy them.

Who are you in ANY related field of study?

[darrenmcmackin]

We may have moved past cancel culture.
I guess people don't care anymore.
It was definitely a thing for awhile.
You're witnessing a pendulum swing, swings way too far one way then swings way too far the other way.

[BLUEDELUCA]

Are you speaking quietly so you don’t bother your parents?

[GabrielSC]
