please drink responsibly. Jeremy, they're making a sequel to The Joker that had, what was it? Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin Phoenix in it. A movie that I thought was okay, but again, like every DC movie that comes out, whenever it's not terrible, everyone loses their mind. Kind of like the Batman, the one with Twilight Kid.

I kinda like that one. It was all right one it was all right It wasn't a bad movie, but it's like because DC has such a bad track record Relax relax the only DC movie that's come out in the last I don't there's only two of them they've come out in the last since a dark night right I was like okay This is legitimately good one is teen titan teen titans go the movie I know like you guys don't watch that but like hey, it was really funny And then the other one was the Suicide Squad that James Gunn did with with with John Cena in it

Yeah, I ended up not seeing that one because I hated the first one. So you didn't seen it? All right, I'll go. All right. Come on Thank you. Yeah That that one That one is excellent. It's excellent. Really? If you watch the TV series, Peacemaker, on Max, I guess now it's Max, it's excellent.

You need to watch it. Okay. Because it's James Gunn. So it's like, imagine if like, Heyday Marvel had DC content. Into it, into it. I will watch it. And they curse, it's all ready to go.

They pretty much treated it like Deadpool On that no, but I mean, are you a boys guy the boy and the boys? I'm watching I'm watching again cuz I had watched in the pandemic and I kind of fell off But I'm rewatching like season 2 to the end right now. Did you watch the the spin-off series? I have not the university. No You have to watch it because it's totally gonna tie in. Excellent, but Joker 2 is coming out. Yes it is. And it's a musical.

I was born for this moment. Really? Yeah, because The Dark Knight is still one of my favorite movies ever. I had a Joker poster on my room as a teenager, on the wall of my room as a teenager. You had a lot of posters. I did. I had a Joker poster on my room as a teenager, on the wall of my room as a teenager. You had a lot of posters. I did.

I had a whole poster wall. In Mr. Crate, he talks about other posters that he had in his wall. I don't know if I ever had a poster on my wall. Jeremy's walls look like the walls of this building. No, that's accurate. I had a poster. Oh, what poster, buddy?

Jessica Simpson, Duke's a Hazard. Oh. Nice. Welcome back, Chris. Thank you. I mostly had Bruce Springsteen I mostly had like Bruce Springsteen the new pristine boss yeah the boss you're like 12 years old dude spring sees my guy those my first concert was spring so were you like seven years old

just like toe tapping I was sick yeah I went to the rising tour it was great I loved it And a white sports journalist did that. I mean, come on, I fit in with everybody. So Jeremy's walls are just pictures of white guys. Yeah, pretty much. Or face painted. So I had the Joker poster on. Face painted?

Yeah, the Joker. Not that kind of face painting. Very different. But yeah, so I didn't really like the first Joker. I thought that some of the themes were sort of heavy handed. I didn't really like the first Joker. I thought that some of the themes were sort of heavy handed. I didn't really like this Joker movie. I loved Heath Ledger as the Joker, but this first Joker movie with Joaquin Phoenix,

I thought he was good. Or he was walking up the stairs in the preview or down the stairs. Yeah, his performance was good, but the movie was bad. And then it came out that Lady Gaga was gonna be in the sequel and everyone was like well what's that about and then the report came out that it was going to be a musical and how about a jukebox musical is that what is it

jukebox so this is what I'm excited about a jukebox musical means that it's taking songs that you already know not original so like Rock of Ages is a jukebox similar to Rock of Ages Moulin Rouge is a jukebox musical? Similar to Rock of Ages, Moulin Rouge is a jukebox musical which I actually just saw when I was on my honeymoon in London, we saw Moulin Rouge and it was spectacular. Is this one of those things where they... Look at me, Louis. Play White Guys as well.

Yeah, you can play anything. Yeah, go for it. Oh, White Woman. Yeah. White woman. White, white, white, white, white. Yeah, I love that. Is this one of those ones where they do a whole scene

where there's a song and then they all go about as if they didn't just sing? Yeah, that's exactly right. I hate that in musicals. All right, I'm out. Okay. No, that's why for like five minutes and then we're back and no one talks about it.

That's why this is gonna be so ridiculous. Right, this is how it goes. This is why it's gonna be so ridiculous This is why it's gonna be so ridiculous. It's so ridiculous Bound but yes, I have less well, I mean look you guys are you guys just don't like musicals in general cuz every musical confirmed Right, so so that's why but that's why this is so funny because right like the Joker First one really brought in an audience because it was kind of sympathetic to the whole like In said no, I'm not mental health in self community and like them replying with violence and like that's the people who? Love the Joker and so to do a 180 and turn it into a jukebox musical

with Lady Gaga, are you guys ready? Hold on, let me ask you a question. When you say jukebox musicals, songs that we already know, does this mean it's gonna be like Glee where they're singing? Yes, exactly like that. I hate it. And I love it. I hate it when people sing covers.

It's why I was born for this moment. Are you ready for a moment where you're gonna have Joaquin Phoenix as The Joker singing creep by Radiohead mashed up with Lady Gaga singing like fix you by Coldplay Oh, I thought you guys say mash up, but Lady Gaga saying creep by TLC Jeremy's more excited about this than David was about a rod. Oh, yeah No, this is this is literally content that's made specifically for me. You've got the Joker you've got a jukebox musical This is this is everything I've ever wanted. It's so glee coded. I love it. Yeah, no no This is everything I do want right

And I could tell you the audience of this show they're gonna hate it which is why I love it So the director was like alright the movie mixed reviews some people like this some people didn't you know we're gonna do We're gonna do a complete 180. Yeah, and get a totally different audience. We're gonna get people doing whatever, why not? I will say from a money-making standpoint, you got your audience with the first one who's gonna wanna see the sequel to it,

and now you're recruiting a completely different audience to see it now, so it might do really well at the box office. Is it Todd Phillips again? I believe it is. Okay, I'll give it a chance, cause it's Todd Phillips, he's a funny guy. You. I'll give it a chance, because it's Todd Phillips. He's a funny guy.

You let me know. When it comes out on Max. If you let me know, he'll be like, nah, not for you. We'll watch it when it comes out on Max. All right. You're not joking. You're not joking. You're not joking.

That.
