Joker 2 Humiliation Ritual w/ Jason & Daniel
🕑 Added 2024-10-21 10:00:09 +0000 UTCWe talk about the box office disaster Joker 2 in the second part of Fight Club Club. Is it all a big joke on Joker 1 fans? How did Todd Phillips go from GG Allin and John Wayne Gacey to Joker? How does Harley Quinn match up with Marla Singer? And what will the Joker Revolution be like?

clearly being stoned is the correct way to enjoy Joker 2

Ok I’m 30 mins into the podcast and I’ve just found out the joker died ? 😅.. I obviously didn’t see that bit. I also knew nothing about Wayne Gacey ?

I kinda liked it, as an origin story to how he was tipped into being fully psychotic.. I think the director was saying something about the character being pulled between two powerful women .. The final scene had me thinking about the titanic when Rose discards jack once the fantasy of the titanic ended.. Harley Quinn pushes author down the stairs to the cops when Author try’s to sink the fantasy of the joker.. Harley Quinn kills Author in a symbolic way so the joker can be realised. I apologise I was also stoned and paid no attention to the songs or words in the songs if I’m honest. ✌️

Andy talks about the potential bankruptcy of Warner Brothers, and if that were to happen then the Joker Revolution becomes even more meta. The Joker Revolution is collapsing industry in real life...
