Episode #35 – Joker
Joker spawned a lot of hot opinions on both sides, and Derrick and Perry get into it a bit themselves as they dissect the movie. Listen for their opinions on the film, some of their different interpretations, and how they feel this isn’t really the Joker from the comics.

No….when Joker kills people it’s graphic. The black woman theory merits some thinking. Maybe to a white man there is no lower alienation than to have a lower social position than black women. If hallucinated imaginary relationships were banned from movies would there be anything to analyze? All in on never again seeing the pearls fall, the Batman origin. No sequel. No Penguin movie either. Excellent podcast dudes.
Excellent podcast. I wasn’t too keen on seeing it at first either and ended up liking it so much that I went to see again a week later.
