It's episode 212...and all I have Joe has are negative thoughts.
Joker (2019) reimagines the iconic DC supervillain as the pitiful Arthur Fleck, clown-for-hire and aspiring stand-up comedian. Life is hard for the downtrodden Arthur as he struggles to make his mark against the backdrop of a Gotham City on the brink of chaos. Could a kindly neighbour, a shot at stardom and the identity of his absent father all prove a ray of hope for Arthur? Or, instead, will they precipitate his spiral into violent mania as the world begins to burn.
We talk about Joaquin and wackos, denial and De Niro, zany scores and Scorsese, and ask if Joker is a dangerous film, if it's the best film of 2019 and if will it lead to the violent uprising some fear.
Plus can you or can you not joke about anything these days?
All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: I had a bad day.
Next week it's what will surely prove to be the film of 2019: Terminator: Dark Fate.
