This musical-inspired sequel lacks the make-up of the first movie. The first “Joker” from 2019 gave Joaquin Phoenix his first Oscar win as Arthur Fleck, a mentally disturbed man, who transitions into […]
Joker: Folie a Deux
The Penguin
A cold-blooded and riveting DC series. “The Penguin,” the new DC series on Max, takes place after the events of “The Batman,” and focuses on Oz Cobb A.K.A Penguin (Colin Farrell), who […]
