<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Comedian </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jerry-seinfeld"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jerry Seinfeld</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said he believes the movie industry no longer has the cultural sway it once did.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 69-year-old shared his thoughts during a newly published interview with </span><a href="https://www.gq.com/story/jerry-seinfeld-gq-hype"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GQ</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Despite his feelings about the industry, Seinfeld is currently promoting his new Netflix </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">film,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “Unfrosted,” about the rivalry between cereal brands Kellogg&#8217;s and Post. Seinfeld wrote and directed the comedy film and has a starring role.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was totally new to me. I thought I had done some cool stuff, but it was nothing like the way these people work,” Seinfeld said of getting into the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood"><span style="font-weight: 400;">movie industry</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> after so many years of focusing on other entertainment endeavors. “They’re so dead serious! They don’t have any idea that the movie business is over. They have no idea.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Film doesn’t occupy the pinnacle in the social, cultural hierarchy that it did for most of our lives,” he continued. “When a movie came out, if it was good, we all went to see it. We all discussed it. We quoted lines and scenes we liked. Now we’re walking through a fire hose of water, just trying to see.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The interviewer followed up by asking what has replaced movies in the culture. “Depression? Malaise? I would say confusion. Disorientation replaced the movie business,” he answered. “Everyone I know in show business, every day, is going, ‘What’s going on? How do you do this? What are we supposed to do now?&#8217;”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seinfeld next compared the film industry to comedy.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve done enough stuff that I have my own thing, which is more valuable than it’s ever been,” the comedian went on. “Stand-up is like you’re a cabinetmaker, and everybody needs a guy who’s good with wood. … There’s trees everywhere, but to make a nice table, it’s not so easy. So, the metaphor is that if you have good craft and craftsmanship, you’re kind of impervious to the whims of the industry.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Audiences are now flocking to stand-up because it’s something you can’t fake,” he added. “It’s like platform diving. You could say you’re a platform diver, but in two seconds we can see if you are or you aren’t. That’s what people like about stand-up. They can trust it. Everything else is fake.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Unfrosted&#8221; debuts on Netflix May 3.</span></p>
