Joker: Folie à Deux

Anne and Ryan discuss JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. Todd Phillips directed this follow-up to 2019's stratospherically successful JOKER, which finds Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) confined to Arkham State Hospital and pursuing a romance with the mysterious inmate Lee (Gaga). As Arthur stands trial for his crimes, he mentally escapes the threat of punishment through imagined juke box musical numbers. Critically reviled and box office flop, JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX is one of 2024's most high profile failures, but is all the hatred justified? Listen to our takes on JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX, along with diversions into the Arclight, House of Gucci, The Band Wagon, holiday commercialism, Now, Voyager, Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington, and much, much more! JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX is currently available to stream with subscription on Max.
