This week on the podcast, Zach and Chris talk about possibly the ultimate Nicolas Cage movie, the long-delayed Robocop Returns, a possible sequel for Joker, Sin City as a TV series, Ford vs Ferrari, the live-action reboot of Lady and The Tramp and more.

Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix bring a dark, disturbing and realistic take on one of the most iconic comic villains in history with Joker.

Despite, or probably because of, mass hysteria and also critical acclaim, Joker had the biggest October opening of all time over the past weekend and one of the biggest R rated openings as well.

October kicks off with Joaquin Phoenix stepping into the iconic role of The Joker in Todd Phillips’s new spin on the origin of the infamous Batman villain.

Joaquin Phoenix dons the makeup and bright colored suits of the Clown Prince of Crime in Todd Phillips’s Joker, which follows the transformation of aspiring comedian Arthur Fleck in 1980s Gotham City.

Joaquin Phoenix becomes Arthur Fleck, the man who becomes The Joker in some strand of the DC Multiverse, in the upcoming origin story from director Todd Phillips and executive producer Martin Scorsese.

Our patron saint is starring in a western for Amazon, who are also developing a Conan the Barbarian series, more Star Wars movies in the works, Michael Bay may direct a Lobo movie for DC, Joaquin Phoenix may be the new Joker and much more in this week’s News Shotgun.
