"This movie kinda has a reputation for being edgy, but one interesting thing they could have done is just let Arthur Fleck be a terrible irredeemable person, but they didn’t do that. They constructed an entire world to be mean to him and unfair to him so he would have to resort to violence. It’s like incel fan fiction."

New episode! Maria and Brandon talk about a movie that just might have been made for this podcast, Joker. Spoiler alert: there are a lot of things this film did wrong. Listen now on your favorite streaming service or on our website!

"I won’t say this movie tried to warn us, but this is a very neat summary of what’s going on….this was intended to be a satire and it’s so close to reality that it’s depressing now."

"Keep fighting the good fight, people."
