The Grimey and Relentless, a downbeat fabled and finally unfolded on screen seemed too

slight aesthetically and morally to bear the weight of all those months of debate. Joker is a bad movie,

yes, it's predictable, cliche, deeply derivative of other better movies and overwritten the point

of self-parity. If a feature length send up of Joker was made, it's hard to imagine in what

details it would differ from Joker itself. The experience of sitting through it is highly unpleasant,

but that unpleasantness has less to do with graphic violence. There are only one or two scenes that go

hard, gore-wise than with claustrophobia and boredom. That's one of the best reviews you'll

read about Joker. Dana Stevens of Slate, fantastic stuff, couldn't agree more. Joker, polarizing

the nation. Thank you so much for checking out this in a file as always. Please do subscribe,

rate and review on Apple Podcasts. I can't thank you all enough. May I have such nice reviews. People

were posting after last week's episode of an Irishman. If you haven't seen it yet, excuse me,

haven't listened yet. Of course you haven't seen it yet. If you haven't listened to it yet,

please do check us out. I went to in-depth, obviously, into the film and why I appreciate it so much

without any spoilers. Of course, we know what a spoiler for anybody. Please do check out that review

and all the other episodes. In the fact, we've had in the past, Utkurschen, Budkar,

I'm a man of cabbie, and there's plenty of other people there as well. Speaking of great

guests, going to a great one coming up today, as Rob Hart is going to join us, he is the author of

a new book called The Warehouse. It's an excellent book. It's actually made into a film,

Ron Howard's company. So congrats to Rob. He's really sticking the landing here. So congrats to him,

and we'll talk all about that. As far as the reviews, thank you to Philly State 23-23. This is where I

find the movies I've missed or never would have heard about Adnan's excitement and an unfettered

enthusiasm is my favorite part. It's like listening to my friends talk movies. Thank you so much to Philly's
