Joker: Folie a Deux it didn’t turn out to be the movie or the smash hit that Warner Bros. hoped it would be. WB’s CEO recently called the film a “disappointment,” and now one of the actors in the sequel is sharing his heartfelt thoughts on the matter, too.
Tim Dillonwho played a guard at Arkham Asylum in Joker 2was recently a guest on the Joe Rogen Podcast, and when talking about the film he didn’t hold back, saying:
“It’s the worst movie that’s ever been made. It’s actually not “that bad”. It’s the worst movie ever made. I think about what happened after the first one Jokerthere was a lot of talk about, “Oh, this was loved by incels.” This was loved by the wrong kind of people.
“This sent the wrong kind of message. Male anger! Nihilism!’ All these thoughts. And then I think, “What if we went the other way?”, and now they have Joaquin Phoenix AND Lady Gaga tap dancing, to the point of being crazy… It has no plot… It’s not even hate-watchable. It’s terrible.”
Dillon went on to talk about how the larger crew of supporting actors and extras were stumped during production and trying to figure out what director Todd Phillips was trying to do.
“We’d sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed in these security suits because we work at Arkham Asylum, and I’d turn to one of them, and we’d hear this bullshit, and I’d go, ‘What the fuck is this? ‘ And they were like, ‘This is going to be the bomb, man.’ I’m like, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever…'”
Dillon added: “We were talking about it at lunch and saying, ‘What’s the plot? Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in prison?’”
So, even a lot of the people involved with the movie who were working on it had no idea what the hell this movie was supposed to be.
Ultimately, whatever Phllips was trying to do with this film, he failed. It didn’t work and most critics, fans and audiences didn’t like it.
