  • Summary

  • What do you get when you cross four mentally ill podcasters with a society that abandons them and treats them like trash? I’ll tell you what you get. You get a f-ing 2 hour episode about Todd Phillips' 2019 film, Joker. That’s right, fellow listeners. Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ Producer Paul are talking about the cinematic con job - I mean, the masterpiece - that won the hearts and minds of the Venice Film Festival, The Academy, sweaty man children, and incels. Joaquin Phoenix gives an Oscar-winning performance as Arthur Fleck, a down and out “comedian” whose misfortunes turn him into the clown prince of crime we all know and love (?). This time, the Joker is plotting his greatest trick yet: crawling into a refrigerator. Is there anything to this film? Is it about the socio-economic forces that impact the mentally ill? Is it a call for compassion for those less fortunate? Is it a cynical cash grab using the iconography of Joker and early Martin Scorsese films to trick audiences into thinking they’re watching art because comedy is canceled? The boys are here to find out!
