Two Asian Blokes
130 - Joker 2: Folie à ZZZZZZZZZZZ
In this episode Thavy is joined by the Two Asian Blokes number one fanboy, Lak. Lak was kind enough to offer up a spare room for Thavy to stay in during his Hokkaido adventures, so Thavy's gift to him was a conversation about Joker 2, a notoriously bad movie.
Joker: Folie à deux is a 2024 American jukebox musical psychological thriller film directed by Todd Phillips from a screenplay he co-wrote with Scott Silver. Loosely based on DC Comics characters, it is a sequel to Joker (2019).
Is there anything else to say about this movie? Is this going to teach producers the wrong lessons about creatives? Has Todd Phillips big f-u to Hollywood backfired? Let's discuss.
