End Credits #360 - October 9, 2024 (Joker: Folie à Deux)

Guelph Politicast

This week on End Credits we send in the clowns! Of course, these aren't regular clowns, they are clown princes. There are also not good clowns, they are criminals. In fact, you might call them the Clown Princes of Crime! Yes, we're sending in the clowns, and we're ranking and reviewing them. We're doing Joker: Folie à Deux and we're ranking all the Jokers!

This Wednesday, October 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

The Jokers are Wild! The Joker was introduced in the very first issue of Batman in 1940, and has become the most iconic, and most revisited comic book villain in movie history, he's even been the star of his own movie (and its sequel). So this week, before we talk about the new Joker, we're going to take a few minutes and rank all the Jokers. From Cesar Romero to Barry Keoghan, we will talk about which Jokers are the wildest!

REVIEW: Joker: Folie à Deux (2024). He's back! Joker was a surprising smash hit in 2019, an R-rated comic book movie that didn't look, act or feel like a comic book movie and it made a billion dollars at the box office and won 11 Academy Award nominations. Five year's later, Joaquin Phoenix is putting on the clown make up again, and this time he's singing and dancing with Lady Gaga as his Harley Quinn. So, can director Todd Phillips (not *Tim* Phillips) find that Joker magic again, or is the last laugh on us in the audience?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
