In this episode of The Ed Clay Show, Ed sits down with Roger L. Simon, an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, author, and founder of PJ Media. Once a prominent figure within Hollywood’s elite, Simon experienced a profound shift in his political views, leading to his eventual ostracization from the industry.
Roger delves into his transition from Hollywood screenwriter to outspoken political commentator, sharing the insights that led to his transformation. He reflects on his experiences working with legendary actors like Richard Pryor and Angelica Huston, and offers a unique perspective on the evolution of Hollywood, particularly the influence of communist ideologies and the impact of China’s growing financial influence on the film industry.
The discussion also touches on Roger’s creation of PJ Media and how it became a significant platform for conservative and libertarian voices in the early 2000s. From being blacklisted in Hollywood to his views on censorship, freedom of expression, and the shifting cultural landscape, Roger provides a nuanced take on what it means to stand up for one’s beliefs in an increasingly polarized world.
Whether you're interested in the inner workings of Hollywood, the challenges of speaking out against mainstream narratives, or the mindset of someone who has navigated these high-stakes worlds, this episode offers a deep dive into the life and thoughts of someone who was knee deep in Hollywood media and entertainment. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the power of free speech, the importance of authenticity, and the cost of defying the status quo.
