Episode 345: 'The People's Joker' Even CHUDs Could Love
from Maximum Film! · host Drea Clark, Marissa Flaxbart, Ify Nwadiwe, Alonso Duralde
Vera Drew’s very personal, exceedingly irreverent, and definitely unauthorized THE PEOPLE’S JOKER got its TIFF premiere in 2022, but has been fighting a path to (legally) be shown in theaters ever since. That fight is finally over, and THE PEOPLE’S JOKER can be seen by the people…though certain folks seem to be forming their opinions on the movie sight-unseen. We get into the film, plus pitch our own “Code 17” movies (and yes, we’ll explain what that means!).What’s GoodAlonso - American Genre Film Archive, and their 15th Anniversary series at USCDrea - Midwesterners of NCAA Women’s Basketball All-Tournament TeamIfy - “I’m into fountain pens now”ITIDICDavid Lynch Wants to Make An Animated Movie for the whole familyFrancis Ford Coppola Screened His Self-Funded Epic to Studios…So Who’s Buying?Disney Sets (and Re-Sets) a Ton of Movie Release Dates Through 2026Staff PIcksAlonso - Two for the RoadDrea - Rotting in the SunIfy - Between Two Ferns: The MovieCall the Hotline! maximumfun.org/hotline Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
