Joker: Folie à Deux and Wolfs (Movie Squad Podcast #185)

There’s always a joker in the pack, and there’s a couple of jokers in the studio for this week’s episode of the Movie Squad podcast.

With Simon Miraudo on special assignment, Lucy Rutherford and Tristan Fidler join Breakfast presenter Pamela Boland to discuss two new movies, but not before beginning with a tribute to the recent passing of Dame Maggie Smith.

Lucy leads the discussion on the sequel to 2019’s Joker with Joker: Folie à Deux with the Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix returning as Arthur Fleck aka “Joker”. This time with Lady Gaga co-starring as “Harley Quinn” in a sequel that works as a musical (including a cover of the theme tune to Kath and Kim, ‘The Joker’).

Next, Tristan covers the Apple Original movie Wolfs which reunites best buds George Clooney and Brad Pitt as a pair of ‘lone wolf’ fixers working together to hide a dead body.

Stay tuned for Tristan and Lucy’s pod-exclusive chat where we hear about what Lucy has been watching recently including the new Netflix Original documentary, Will and Harper, starring Will Ferrell going on a road trip with old friend Harper Steele who has recently come out as trans, as well as Lucy’s love for the Monday Doubles at Luna Cinemas.
