Episode notes
WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING ALIVE?
While Joker was one of 2019's most successful films, it was also one of its most divisive. While many clamored for a sequel, others believed this version told its story and needed no further exploration, and anything more would only show how shallow that film was. Turns out, Todd Phillips is in the camp of the latter as he made a whole movie about that very fact. The sequel, ironically, was one of 2024's worst-performing tentpole films, as well as one of the most maligned sequels in recent memory. The reasons for the hatred vary between whether or not you liked the first, and we have a whole lot to say as the camp who didn't. So, come join Brian and Alec as they put themselves through another two hours of suffering with Todd Phillips' JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX!
