For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham & Tom O'Brien to review and discuss the sequel to the Oscar-winning 2019 film "Joker," Todd Phillips's "Joker: Folie à Deux" starring Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener & Zazie Beetz. Already igniting a ton of discourse amongst fans, including receiving the lowest CinemaScore in history for a comic book movie (D), this depressing, dark musical from the original team behind the first film has subverted expectations and given everyone much to talk about regarding its themes, performances, musical numbers, technical craftsmanship and more. Tune in as we discuss these elements, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
