‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Hates You. Will You Return the Favor?

Must read

Sean is joined by Van Lathan to discuss Joker: Folie à Deux, the off-putting sequel to Todd Phillips’s 2019 Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga (1:00). They discuss the jukebox musical format’s successes and failures, the filmmaking vs. the experience of watching it, and whether they ultimately liked the movie. Then, they zoom out to discuss the state of moviegoing and movie watching (43:00) and explore whether we’re in a uniquely strange place with the reception of movies and the conversation social media inspires about divisive films and filmmakers. Finally, Sean is joined by director Greg Jardin to discuss his debut feature, It’s What’s Inside, an all-in-one-night sci-fi thriller with some unexpected twists (spoilers!) and fresh filmmaking choices (1:05:00).
