WASHINGTON – Actor Tim Allen has joined the cast of new movie aimed at disrupting the liberal and PC culture in Hollywood, on college campuses and in comedy.
Allen’s “Last Man Standing” sitcom was canceled last year and outraged fans believe ABC pulled the plug because the family comedy highlighted conservative values. ABC denied it was over politics.
Allen has signed onto the docudrama “No Safe Spaces” that’s expected to hit theaters in the fall.
Fellow comedian Adam Carolla and conservative radio show host Dennis Prager are making the movie to promote free speech at a time they say the entertainment industry, media and college campuses too often shut down or blackball controversial viewpoints.
“Nothing kills comedy quite like people who are constantly offended,” Carolla told The Post. “It’s impossible to be funny if we’re not allowed to poke fun at each other and that’s what’s happening with a new generation of people who seem to be offended for a living.
“If we can’t have fun with one another than we lose our humanity. If free speech goes, then our basic freedoms will follow soon after.”
In a movie clip released to The Post, Allen joins a roundtable discussion with fellow comedians about how the PC culture is hurting comedy.

Excellent.
That’s one I will go to see.

Last Man Standing was the only show (other than Longmire) either broadcast or on Netflix that I enjoyed watching.
Bump
Chilling.
***ABC denied it was over politics.***
Remember when the TV networks cancelled popular family friendly conservative shows back around 1968? The claim was the shows were only reaching old people without money, and the networks wanted shows which reached young people with money.
Good deal.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing this.
Thanks for posting.
The only movies I have been to in the last 25 or so years were the Dinesh DiSouza movies and Atlas Shrugged. I think I will go see this one. Thanks to The Tea Party, President Trump, and we here on FR there seem to be some gonads growing. It has only taken sixty years but it seems to be happening.
Go Tim! Good on you and your colleagues of truth. God Bless you all.
I just watched a movie about this topic, “Can We Take a Joke?”. 2016, also featuring Adam Corolla, as well as Lisa Lampinelli, Penn Jillette, Gilbert Gottfried, and others. Also, a nod to Lenny Bruce. An interesting look at PC and the speech police.
On Amazon Prime.
Thanks for the movie recommendation-———I’ll watch that tonight.
(Another riotous,fun-filled Saturday night for FReeper Mears.):-)

I have been fascinated what the libs will do to sell their souls to the devil for money, recognition, or power. Here’s Allen, just as conservative as he can be, and openly public with it, working for possibly the most liberal organization in the entertainment world, Disney, and having almost everything he does being produced by them like TV shows, most movies, and his records, getting such work all the time. Don’t know if he’s been blackballed, for right now, but if another Toy Story piece comes along, he’ll get the call as he is Buzz Lightyear. OOOOOO but those’s liberals are greedy.
