“Joker” is bound to provoke passionate, polarized responses from viewers, and it’s definitely done so between the three of us here at Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I review Todd Phillips’ dark and gritty comic villain origin story this week. We also talk about “Dolemite Is My Name,” which is an absolute blast with a thrilling central performance from Eddie Murphy. And stick around because right afterward, we delve deep into “Joker” spoilers. You have been warned: Don’t listen to this part until you’ve seen the movie! And over at our Patreon, we discuss episodes 5-7 of Showtime’s “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” (we’re all caught up at this point) as well as some new trailers. So put on a happy face and join us.
Thanks so much for the review. It’s a shame that a crappy movie riding on the coattails of DC has earned almost $200 million dollars in two weekends. I just don’t get it anymore. I’ve seen two movies this year in theaters and am desperate to find a movie worth the price of admission. Hopefully “Parasite” and the movies that follow will be an uplifting end to an otherwise ho-hum movie year.
