This week we review It Chapter 2 the follow up to the 2016 film, and the recently released Joker film. Halloween comes early as we discuss two scary clowns right here on the Last King podcast.
Pennywise the clown returns to terrorize the children again. Now the Losers Club have all grown up, but are unwilling to face up against the supernatural jester. But a promise was made, and lives are at stake. we ask if the second chapter lives up to the hype, or like the original TV movie, fail to stick the landing as well?
And in our main segment, we discuss the highly controversial and very polarising Joker film, from director Todd Phillips. The clown prince of crime finally gets the solo movie he deserves. While other recent DCEU films struggle to reach the levels of films like the Dark Knight. This retelling of the Joker's origin story aims to stand on its own, with no explicit allusions to other films? A brave decision from the suits at WB, can the film transcend expectations?
