Description

George knows The Joker character from The Dark Knight. He has seen The Joker from Batman 1989. But is he ready for what Joaquin Phoenix brings to the early 80's aesthetic?
If you browse the usual channels looking for Joker content you will find references to 3 specific movies. Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy and The Network. But Dan brings a new contender to the table and answers "where did THAT particular character trait come from!?"
Which one of the guys didn't rewatch the movie? Did George catch the twist ending? How would Travis fix the advertising campaign to increase the impact of the movie? Why does Dan think that the best joke in the movie went over most viewers' heads? Tune in to find out!

Poor George. He's never seen any movies. Rather than mourn their dear friend, Travis and Dan have taken it upon themselves to show him what he is missing. But they don't stop at showing him famous movies! They also help George to understand how each film fits into the Great Narrative of Film. Not only THAT the film of the week is significant, but WHY and HOW. Also, they make jokes and stuff.
