Listen "Episode 5 - Joker (2019)"
Episode Synopsis
This week, the panel contributes a more recent release to The Cine-Essentials: 2019's Joker. As directed by Todd Phillips, the film opts for a more serious approach to the DC comic book character. With a commanding, Oscar-winning performance by the magnetic Joaquin Phoenix, Joker quickly became one of the most commercially successful, critically-acclaimed, and controversial comic adaptations of all-time. The panel discusses the film's daring (and maddening) choices, the legacy of the infamous Batman villain, and whether the film actually succeeds at embodying the very films that inspired it.
