Watch
The Joker
This weekend, Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as Arthur Fleck in Joker: Folie á Deux. In the new movie, Arthur Fleck must face the past crimes he committed in Joker as he is institutionalized at Arkham and awaits trial. In the new film, the Joker also falls in love with fellow inmate Harley Quinn, played by Lady Gaga. The two embark on a musical journey that dives into the dark psyche of Arthur Fleck. The film flips from jazzy dance numbers to emotional ballads, all while exploring the Joker's new romance and volatile sanity. This new sequel is a stark switch from its 2019 predecessor, but its soundtrack and star-studded cast make it worth a watch.
