Welcome to the final episode of “Joker’s Trick,” fellow listeners. On this very special season finale: Jake realizes he can teach his students the importance of music through the power of funk. Troy continues his backpacking journey around Europe not only to find his long lost son, but to find himself. Jan discovers the cure for cancer in the Amazon, only to forget it. Finally, good-ol Producer Paul confronts his abuela about the generational trauma that fuels their emotionally abusive relationship. Oh, and they rank all of the Joker movies too.

We’re in the endgame, fellow listeners. Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ Producer Paul are diving headfirst into the newest Joker flick, Joker: Folie à Deux. Unlike the first one, Todd Phillips’ latest cinematic prank is a critical and commercial bomb! 33% on Rotten Tomatoes! Ticket sales freefalling! And worst of all, an abject rejection from Joker fans everywhere. Nobody came here to see more Arthur Fleck, they just want more Joker! The Joker is meeeeee! Or is Arthur me? Who is Joker? Is the Joker also Arthur? But the Joker doesn’t exist. Anyway, is the film really worth all of the hate, or did Todd Phillips stumble into making his masterpiece? Tune in to find out what our Jokery heroes think of this new release. Their reactions may shock you more than the ending to Joker: Folie à Deux! WARNING: Spoilers ahead! Eh who cares, you’ve either seen it or don’t care.

This week is a little different, fellow listeners. Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ Producer Paul are taking a look at the first unofficial Joker movie. A film so outrageous that a certain movie studio tried to have it erased from existence. A film that dares to redefine that Batman mythos as an absurdist queer coming-of-age film where Batman and Lorne Michaels are the most evil people on the planet. That’s right, the boys are sitting down to check out Vera Drew’s The People’s Joker.
