Episode 41: | Joker 2: The Delusion, The Mask, The Reality

In this episode of AGT, I dive deep into Joker 2—a sequel that takes us further into Arthur Fleck’s fractured psyche. This film isn’t about the comic book villain we know; it’s an entirely new exploration of a man abandoned by society, retreating into delusion. From his tragic love for the illusion of Lee, to the therapeutic use of singing and dancing as a window into his mind.

I’ll also discuss how the film shows the system's failure, not just in his childhood but continuing into adulthood, and why this movie demands to be watched with an open mind. Plus, I’ll break down the critics’ take on Lady Gaga’s role and why her performance deserves more credit than it’s getting. Join me as I explore the delusion, the mask, and the blurred lines of reality in one of the most brilliant psychological films of the year.

There will be NO SPOILERS here, I could honestly share my ever thoughts of every minute of this film but i chose to touch on some notes I felt needed and deserved to be talked about.
