Episode 103 - Joker
It's dark... it's gritty... and a unique case study into the inner depths of mental illness, The Joker is just a masterful film from start to finish. We'll discuss key moments from the film in this #SpoilerAlert review, and how certain scenes resonated with the audience. The divisiveness of the film has many emotionally stirred, others elated from the portrayal of the spiral of madness. Either way, all can agree to some level, we've never see a film quite like this.
