Podcasting star Joe Rogan has brought down the hammer on the action flick John Wick after they bleeped out a swear word in a scene from the movie.

In his opinion, the ads often aired on TV "were far more offensive” than the curse words used in John Wick. While hosting a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience with guest Duncan Trussell, he admitted he watched John Wick on TV at a hotel. Joe confessed that “every five minutes” he was "bombarded" with pharmaceutical drug commercials as he was watched the movie, starring Keanu Reeves as the title character.

"I was watching John Wick on TV and it's every five minutes you're bombarded with nonsense. They stop the show and give you five minutes of nonsense, just nonsense ... and side effects," Joe explained.

Duncan chimed in, stating: "It's unnerving and also when you realize, we think the show is John Wick. That ain't the show, the show is the nonsense that's happening in between John Wick.

He added: "Because when you think about when you're watching a good movie you relax, you calm down, you open up. It's the perfect perfect state of consciousness to manipulate people."

During the episode, Joe referred to the scene in the film where a Russian mobster’s son gets home from his job in Atlantic City and how the f-bomb dropped during a turning point got censored out.

"I also thought it was incredible that they bleeped out all the bad words when the commercials were far more offensive. They bleeped out f--k," Joe asserted.

"I'm like, 'How are they going to handle this scene?' Because there's this scene where the Russian mobster, his son comes home from this job in Atlantic City and after he did this thing with John Wick,” Joe pointed out. "And the guy's like, 'Who the f--k is that nobody?' He goes, 'That f - -king nobody is John Wick' and it's the whole setup of John Wick ... No! You're gross! You took out the f--k but meanwhile, you're telling me about a bloody diarrhea that might kill you if you take this drug.

Joe added: "You're telling me about side effects that are, like, suicide, like, all kinds of, like, wild s--t depression, anxiety, fear, violent tendencies, gambling addictions."

Joe often voices his bold, and sometimes brash, opinions on his podcast.
