This article contains major spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux. It is the ending which has left some fans upset and others…. still upset but also at least curious about the seeming wink, easter egg, or allusion to another, much better loved sequel. Arthur Fleck, Joaquin Phoenix’s eternally put-upon sad clown at the center of two Todd Phillips Joker movies, is dead. On a concrete floor in Arkham Asylum, he dies unloved, unhappy, and unprotected. Meanwhile just vaguely out of focus, and partially out of frame, his murderer laughs maniacally as he begins carving his own face into a so-called…

This article contains multitudes of Joker : Folie à Deux spoilers. Joker: Folie à Deux ends with the death of the Joker. Okay, more accurately, it ends with the death of Arthur Fleck, the sad-sack comedian-turned-murderer played by Joaquin Phoenix. Furthermore, the movie closes with Fleck’s killer (Connor Storrie) turning the knife on himself to carve some Heath Ledger-esque scars. So the truer statement is Joker: Folie à Deux should end with the death of the Joker. Not just Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck in the Todd Phillips films, but all of them: Cesar Romero’s boisterous Joker, Jack Nicholson’s performance artist Joker, Mark…

When the not-so-old Ben Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) met young Luke Skywalker (Grant Feely) in the final episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi in 2022, the Disney+ series ended with a kind of mic drop. Obi-Wan uttered a self-referential “Hello there,” met-up with the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), and that was that. The gap between the Obi-Wan of the prequels and the desert rat of A New Hope was closed.  But not really. While there’s a lot to love about Obi-Wan season 1, nearly everything about it was a kind of canonical side quest, and it was only at the end…

During the filming of director Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street amid the summer of 1984, Freddy Krueger performer Robert Englund wasn’t just creating a boogeyman that would linger for audiences four decades later… he was making something that would haunt him too. One night while Englund was shooting the infamous front yard scene with actress Heather Langencamp late at night, the actor had a break around four in the morning. She decided to take some rest on a cot in his dressing room when… “They knocked on my door and they go, ‘Robert, Robert, we’re going to try…

This post contains spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux. There are two general reactions from audiences coming out of Joker: Folie à Deux: “That was terrible,” and “Lady Gaga was good.” The idiosyncratic pop star continues to acquit herself well in movies, even with material as inert and dire as Folie à Deux. Yet despite coming out of the debacle with her head held high, Gaga’s take on Harleen Quinzel will likely go down in history as both different… and largely forgettable. Which to be fair is not unlike the many Elseworlds tales published by DC Comics. In the same…

Horror movies are back. Actually they never left. Yet after a few underperformed in the springtime, pundits with apparently a short-term memory about the genre perceived that its popularity was on the decline. Turns out, reports of its demise were greatly exaggerated—like always. One of the most basic and satisfying things cinema can offer is a safe space to be scared, to be intimidated, and to be thrilled at the sights of wicked things. And there’s been wickedness aplenty in 2024. Here are the best ones for those interested in looking for such delights. I Saw the TV Glow There…

A lot can change in five years. Only half a decade ago, Todd Phillips’ ambitious and daring attempt to reboot the DC character Joker into a Travis Bickle antihero wasn’t only a hit with moviegoers, but a phenomenon. That film opened to $96 million in its first weekend and legged out to grossing more than $1 billion worldwide, the most ever earned by any R-rated film up to that time. Cut to October 2024, and we don’t even have to wait for the second weekend to know how thoroughly Joker: Folie à Deux was rejected by its target audience. The…

For the past several years, seeing all James Bond movies streaming online in one place has been a rare occurrence. With certain films hopping from HBO Max to Paramount+, and sometimes even Netflix, keeping track of how to make a 007 marathon happen has been tricky. That is until now. As of October 2024, all 25 James Bond movies released by Eon Productions—from 1962 to 2021—are streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon has declared Prime Video “the Home of Bond,” which means that maybe, just maybe, Mr. Bond will sit still this time and not move to another streaming platform for…

This Joker: Folie a Deux article contains spoilers. Todd Phillips is once again putting on a happy face, and Joaquin Phoenix is back in his baggy pants for Joker: Folie à Deux. Set in their own continuity away from Matt Reeves’ The Batman and the Colin Farrell-led The Penguin, 2019’s Joker and 2024’s Folie à Deux have shied away from setting up this world’s Caped Crusader and his infamous rogues gallery. Still, with the Joker being Batman’s most iconic nemesis, Folie à Deux gives a major hint at where the story could’ve gone if Phillips stayed in this world. The…

This article contains spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux. When Joker: Folie à Deux ends, the world has changed. Although likely not in the way comic book fans expected. Arthur Fleck, the man who smeared pancake makeup across his face and called himself Joker, is dead; Lee Quinzel, his precious “Harley Quinn,” has left him cold after realizing he wasn’t the leader of a nihilist revolution but instead a pitiful loser; and even Harvey Dent seemed to evade his comic book fate when after an explosion rocks the trial of the century in Gotham’s courthouse… the D.A. seems only dazed…

Director Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance is rightfully drawing praise from critics and body horror fans these days. It’s a colorful, creative, and surprisingly entertaining examination of the self-loathing generated by society’s expectations of the female body.  If you’ve heard nothing else about the film so far, you still probably know that it is one of the most violent and disturbing horror movies to come along in quite some time. The internet—or at least the film-obsessed corners of social media—is already filled with stories of people leaving their screenings, vomiting outside the theater, or otherwise finding themselves unable to process what…

This article contains Joker: Folie à Deux spoilers. If Arthur Fleck had a favorite song, it was probably “That’s Life,” the Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon big band standard first recorded in 1963 and popularized by Frank Sinatra in ’66. A bit of a mean-spirited lament, the song features acerbic observations like “you’re riding high in April, shot down in May,” and “but if there’s nothing shaking, come this here July, I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die.” Frankly, it’s pretty bleak if you listen to it for more than a minute, and diametrically opposed to…

For his past few cinematic adventures, Batman has been a creature of the night, a solitary force against crime and corruption in Gotham City. In the new DCU movie universe, that is going to change. According to an announcement from DC Studios co-president James Gunn, Batman will be lonely no more. A new animated theatrical film, appropriately titled Dynamic Duo, will feature not one but two Robins: the original Dick Grayson and his first successor Jason Todd. Over the moon excited to announce the newest DC Studios/Warner Bros Pictures Animation greenlit film for theaters, DYNAMIC DUO, the story of Robin……

One can judge the quality of a Stephen King adaptation less by the way it handles its monsters and more by the way it approaches the author’s idiosyncrasies. Gary Dauberman, writer and director of the latest version of Salem’s Lot, proves his worth in a single scene. Eleven-year-old newcomer to small town Jerusalem’s Lot, Mark Petrie (Jordan Preston Carter), tries to wow his recently discovered playground friends by performing a Houdini escape trick. His hands still bound, Mark cannot block an attack by bully Richie Boddin (Declan Lemerande), who stands over the new kid and sneers, “Welcome to the Lot,…

When most folks think of Universal horror, certain images spring to mind. Windswept castles littered with debris and bats; windmills standing alone on a dark and stormy night; vampires, werewolves, and other assorted beasties fleeing into the fog. Despite the Universal Monsters cycle running its original course nearly 80 years ago, its most famous icons—Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Wolf Man, and the Mummy—remain firmly planted in the pop culture imagination every October. Much of this is descended from the classics of the 1930s: Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff and later Elsa Lanchester. Yet…

Good news, everyone, sex is back in the movies! Okay, sure, we were saying the same thing about 2023 when Poor Things and Saltburn set audiences’ tongues wagging, but this Christmas sees the release of Babygirl, in which Nicole Kidman… drinks a glass of cold, white milk. On its own that doesn’t sound particularly alluring. But the first trailer for the A24 thriller Babygirl puts the moment in context, in which a young intern (Harris Dickinson of The Iron Claw and Triangle of Sadness) in Kidman’s company orders her to do her body good and down the milk. The exchange…

Is the third time the charm for Salem’s Lot? Stephen King’s iconic 1975 novel about a small Maine town overrun by vampires (his second published book, and still widely regarded as one of his masterpieces) has now been filmed three times: as a three-hour (minus commercials) 1979 miniseries directed by Tobe Hooper, another miniseries of the same length, directed by Mikael Salomon in 2004, and now a 114-minute feature film adapted and directed by Gary Dauberman. Dauberman came to Salem’s Lot with his horror and Stephen King bona fides already in place too. He wrote the three Annabelle movies (the…
