BFG Podcast #169: 'Joker: Folie A Deux' and 'Nobody Wants This'

Book and Film Globe Podcast by Book and Film Globe

Episode notes

"I have never been so happy to see a film flop at the box office," host Neal Pollack says of 'Joker: Folie a Deux,' which he discusses on this week's podcast with film critic Stephen Garrett. Stephen is a little kinder to the film than Neal is, but he agrees that not much in this movie works. Neal finds the courtroom sequences boring and cliched, the musical sequences uninspired, and the dark romance completely incompetent and unbelievable. Both Neal and Stephen agree that this deeply unpleasant movie deserves everything that's coming to it, and that Joaquin Phoenix can't sing even if Lady Gaga can. Todd Phillips should go straight to movie jail for this crime against cinema. So sayeth we.
