FLICKS Ep. 94 - A Judge Reviews "JOKER: Folie Á Deux" ('In Defence Of Joker 2'...)

About this episode

Jason Verney reviews 'Joker: Folie à Deux' and defends its merits amidst criticism.

In episode 94 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we take a look at the film, "Joker: Folie à Deux" which I witnessed in Busan, South Korea. There has been so much negativity towards this sequel to "Joker" and from quite a lot of people. Well, I decided that, as a writer and filmmakermyself - and fresh from my recent position as judge at the inaugural SWFF (Seoul Whistler Film Festival) - I'd give my take on the film. In fact, seeing as some of the film takes place in a courtroom, I thought I'd be both JUDGE and DEFENDER of this unique sequel. I hope you enjoy what I have to say... Recorded on 23rd October 2024 in Busan, South Korea. The accompanying article can be found on here, at my http://www.MiniMiniMovie.com website!
