00:34:44.000It's not really too casual It's just a regular button-down shirt, but you see it's no tie and that's what makes it casual That's what's going to help facilitate a low-key
00:34:54.000Relaxed chill show and it's going to be all those things tonight We're gonna be focusing mainly on the new Joker film the film Joker Which I said I was taking a holiday yesterday and everybody else should have as well
00:35:16.000We've been waiting for this movie for a long time!
00:35:19.000And it's the first time maybe since Blade Runner 2049 that we have had representation on the big screen.
00:35:26.000It's the first time that I saw myself, not literally, but it's the first time we saw perhaps a character study sympathetic to the struggles that we go through in society.
00:35:57.000I'll be giving you a little bit of a review, but what I mainly want to talk about is, of course, the politics surrounding.
00:36:04.000You know, I'm not really like a movie critic per se.
00:36:07.000I'm not... I don't have a fancy degree in like literature, so I can't give you, you know, a very in-depth...
00:36:14.000I'm not going to break down the whole story.
00:36:16.000Also, I don't want to spoil anything for anybody, so that's also why I don't really want to get too into detail about the actual substance of the content, the storyline, and all of that of the film itself.
00:36:27.000But what I really find the most interesting about this whole phenomenon is the obvious political implications of the movie.
00:36:36.000I know maybe this isn't part why the movie is so talked about, why there's so much buzz about it, which is that people are not even really so much talking about the film itself, but in the build-up to this film over the past few months, or the release of the film, the conversation has been about what are the ramifications.
00:36:55.000Obviously, the most... what would you say?
00:36:59.000The most sensational or alarming buzz has been about the potential, the possibility of some kind of terrorist attack at the opening of the film.
00:37:09.000You know, I think we talked about, maybe it was earlier this week or last week, there was actually a memo circulating from the Department of Defense, from the military,
00:37:18.000Telling local police to be on guard about potential attacks, about terrorist activity, and we're going to talk about that.
00:37:25.000In particular, that was only the most extreme sort of buzz that it got from a socio-political lens, but I've seen even a lot of the critics who have seen the movie, largely female critics, a lot of cosmopolitan academic types, have said either they won't review the movie or they refuse to see the movie.
00:37:43.000Those that have seen the movie, uh, that are these types, have panned it saying, you know, and I even, I looked at a lot of the reviews to prepare for this show.
00:37:52.000A lot of the reviews don't even focus so much on the movie itself.
00:37:56.000Like, for example, I saw on RogerEbert.com, Roger Ebert has obviously passed, but they still do reviews on his website.
00:38:03.000It got two stars on the Robert Ebert, Roger Roberts, the Roger
00:38:14.000They gave it two stars on that website and I read the review and it said it didn't even really have a problem with the movie itself, but it just said, well, what are we doing when we're glorifying a character like this in this climate?
00:38:27.000You know, and I got that impression from a lot of these reviews and a lot of the reaction.
00:38:31.000So we're mainly going to focus on that because, you know, to me, it's so fascinating that it should be in any other time
00:38:45.000I think, you know, rather than a comic book movie like Avengers or Spider-Man, it's probably more like a drama than anything.
00:38:51.000But in any case, I feel like in any other time you would release a movie
00:38:56.000About a comic book villain, you know, even if it's not a classical comic book movie, the character comes from a comic book, and any other time you could have a movie like this release, and it would be uneventful, you know?
00:39:08.000Or if there was any kind of fanfare or anything, it would be because of how many tickets it sold, right?
00:39:15.000Like Avengers Endgame, something like this.
00:39:17.000But to me it's so amazing that in 2019 this film The Joker comes out and they literally have the military on high alert because they're afraid that the people that are talking about the Joker and society and gamers and incels and this kind of stuff online are gonna see this movie as a green light to commit mass casualty events.
00:39:39.000And even if they're not legitimately afraid of that, maybe they're planning that.
00:39:45.000So to me, that's the real story is why what is it about this movie that is causing everybody to lose their minds?
00:39:52.000You know, it's sort of like the Dark Knight Joker when he says, you know, we do this and nobody bats an eye, but the Joker movie comes out and everybody loses their minds.
00:40:26.000I have no patience for this kind of story.
00:40:29.000You know, these very long sagas where it's a legal case, and we're diving into the details, and you know, this person said this thing, and that person said the other, and Trump says it's a witch hunt, and the media says... Does anybody else feel the same way?
00:40:43.000And I know impeachment is obviously, it's big news.
00:41:00.000I understand maybe this one has a little bit more import and a little bit more legitimacy and validity than Russia.
00:41:07.000Well, I mean, frankly, we've been doing this since the guy got inaugurated, maybe even since before that.
00:41:13.000We've been doing this realistically for four years.
00:41:17.000You know, Trump said this week, the media has been trying to impeach me ever since I got into office, and that's totally true.
00:41:24.000So yeah, while Nancy Pelosi has kick-started a really serious impeachment inquiry about this latest story, this Ukrainian call,
00:41:33.000How long have we really been talking about removing Trump from office because of some impropriety, because of some foreign meddling scandal?
00:42:58.000I hope everybody else did the same, and I hope if you didn't see the movie yesterday because you're a gay, or a wagey, or a student, or you're a bitch, you're a femoid maybe, then I hope you're gonna see it tonight, or I hope you're gonna see it tomorrow night, because, and here's the thing, before we even dive into anything, I'll just say, what's most important about this movie is that it does well.
00:43:21.000It is very important that this movie succeeds at the box office because, you know, you got to understand that this movie had so much stacked against it, in the sense that they... I am a firm believer, or maybe I'm willing to believe, that the government was trying to sabotage the release of this or hijack the release of this film for reasons that we all understand.
00:44:52.000It was either last week or two weeks ago, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, she announced a formal inquiry, a formal impeachment inquiry,
00:45:24.000Political fallout for Joe Biden, who is the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary.
00:45:29.000In exchange for that, then, Donald Trump would give Ukraine, would continue to greenlight the extensive military foreign aid that we give to Ukraine.
00:46:09.000It's not like they're investigating how Trump did pull the aid and Ukraine did investigate.
00:46:14.000They're talking about a phone call which by the way we have the full transcript of and we've seen that in the transcript of the actual phone call over which they're trying to kick-start a new and valid impeachment campaign there is not an explicit mention of a quid pro quo deal which is what the allegation is.
00:46:32.000I mean that's the alleged crime and there's not even an inference
00:46:36.000Or an implicit reference to a quid pro quo deal.
00:46:38.000Foreign aid is not discussed in great detail.
00:46:41.000It's not discussed in connection with Hunter Biden.
00:46:44.000So for that reason I have basically panned this early on and said this is another hoax.
00:46:52.000I've also been skeptical or curious why the Democrats are choosing
00:46:56.000To make impeachment their mission over this and over this right now.
00:47:01.000Because for months, progressives in the Democratic Party have been pushing Nancy Pelosi to pursue impeachment, and she's been resistant to that.
00:47:09.000The obvious reason is because impeachment is not very popular.
00:47:12.000If you look at any of the polling, I think there was one poll that came out very recently that showed that more people are in favor of impeachment than are against it.
00:47:20.000But for many, many months before the Ukraine scandal,
00:47:25.000There was not a single poll that showed that more people wanted Trump to be impeached than did not.
00:47:29.000It was actually only like 30% and in some polls even less than that who wanted to see impeachment, which in other words is the Democratic base.
00:47:38.000So I was sort of curious and confused why Nancy Pelosi would choose to impeach over this and right now when for the longest time the rhetoric has been that the way they want to remove him from office is not impeachment, which is unpopular.
00:47:50.000Instead they just want to win the election, which is probably a lot more likely.
00:47:54.000Because in any case, even if they do impeachment, they're going to get humiliated, because we know that the impeachment process has it, that even if they impeach in the House, and impeachment is equivalent to an indictment, it has to go to the Senate for a trial.
00:48:08.000A Senate that is controlled by the Republicans.
00:48:10.000They would need a two-thirds majority in the Senate, and Republicans have a simple majority, I think by one vote.
00:48:38.000officials worked to prod the Ukrainian president into opening a public inquiry into President Trump's leading opponent Joe Biden.
00:48:46.000The messages released by congressional Democrats emerge as Mr. Trump faces an impeachment inquiry over the matter.
00:48:52.000The exchanges show a senior diplomat saying it would be, quote, crazy to withhold military aid to Ukraine for Mr. Trump's political gain in the 2020 election.
00:49:02.000laws ban soliciting foreign help for electoral purposes.
00:49:06.000But Mr. Trump denies any wrongdoing and on Friday said there was no quid pro quo in the communications.
00:49:13.000His remarks came a day after he publicly called on Ukraine and China to investigate Mr. Biden, a top Democratic White House candidate, and his son, Hunter.
00:49:22.000The impeachment inquiry stems from a July 25th call, blah blah blah, we've been over this.
00:49:27.000The wide-ranging text message discussions are connected to allegations by the Democrats that Mr. Trump dangled military aid as a way to press Ukraine to dig dirt on Mr. Biden.
00:49:39.000Sent between July and September, they involve high-ranking officials.
00:49:43.000They include Kurt Volker, Mr. Trump's Ukraine envoy, Gordon Sondland, the U.S.
00:49:48.000Ambassador to the European Union, and Bill Taylor, a top U.S.
00:49:52.000diplomat at the American Embassy in Ukraine.
00:49:54.000On July 19th, the three diplomats discussed arranging a phone call between the Ukrainian President Zelensky and President Trump.
00:50:02.000Mr. Volker told the other two that he had breakfast with Mr. Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani that morning and identified the main purpose of the upcoming phone call.
00:50:12.000He said, quote, most important is for Zelensky to say that he will help the investigation.
00:50:19.000diplomat in Ukraine, warned the president, rather warned that President Zelensky is sensitive about Ukraine being seen as, quote, an instrument in Washington domestic reelection politics.
00:50:30.000Ahead of the call, Mr. Volker texted that he had heard from the White House that Zelensky would be offered a formal visit to Washington, quote, assuming President Xi convinces Trump he will investigate or get to the bottom of what happened in 2016.
00:50:44.000This is a reference to the allegations that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election and worked to help the Democrats.
00:50:50.000So, you know, again, this is more of the same, essentially, but this does shine some light on the allegation, whereas maybe the phone transcript
00:50:59.000Uh did not include any explicit or implicit reference to a quid pro quo deal.
00:51:04.000Clearly in this text messages there is some kind of suggestion that a deal might have been in the works.
00:51:10.000At the very least I don't think foreign aid was covered completely in these text messages but at the very least this idea of getting Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and having that obviously benefit Trump in the election
00:51:25.000Now again, I have to say that even if all this is legitimate, it does not constitute a crime, right?
00:51:30.000Investigating criminals, to me, does not constitute a crime.
00:51:34.000You know, so what they're alleging is that, oh well, if Trump and Zelensky are working together, this constitutes a foreign government helping a sitting president with electoral affairs.
00:51:45.000But to me, the president is the chief executor.
00:51:50.000If you read the Constitution, he is the chief law enforcement officer of the country, which is kind of an epic way to think about it.
00:51:57.000You know, a lot of people don't like to think about it this way, you know, because, I don't know, we don't really have a very good conception of civics and government in our country.
00:52:41.000What they did when they were in office was obviously, at the very least, suspicious.
00:52:47.000At the very least, it was conspicuous.
00:52:49.000You know, we read out some of the things that
00:52:53.000President Trump wants Zelensky to investigate Biden for or some of the things Trump wants Zelensky to investigate Biden for which are for example that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were meeting with these high-profile Chinese business people.
00:53:05.000Joe Biden is the sitting vice president of the United States and Hunter Biden would come out of meetings with the Chinese or the Ukrainians or other people with $50,000 a month contracts or millions of dollars in pay and
00:53:19.000I don't think that all of that just happens, right?
00:53:22.000I mean, we know it wouldn't be the first time that a sitting president or a politician has used, or a sitting vice president in this case, a politician to use nepotism or crony measures to help out their political allies or their family or their friends.
00:53:37.000And so to me, to see all these things going on, it's perfectly legitimate for the president to use his office to investigate crimes and to punish criminals.
00:54:17.000Vladimir Putin that he needs to do something to hurt Joe Biden monetarily.
00:54:24.000I want Vladimir Putin to tell his business people in Russia that they have to stop donating to the Joe Biden campaign.
00:54:30.000I don't know, they don't really donate to the campaigns, but you know what I'm saying.
00:54:34.000If the president were to go out to a foreign government and solicit any kind of help materially or in other ways, I would say that that would be a legitimate abuse of power by the president.
00:54:45.000That would constitute the kind of violation that the Democrats are talking about, which is again soliciting help from foreigners to help in an election.
00:54:52.000But in this case, and this is obviously a pretty special case,
00:54:55.000Or, in a lot of these cases from the last administration, whether it's Obama, or Clinton, or Joe Biden, we're talking about law enforcement.
00:55:05.000And that's all it is, even with the Ukrainian President Zelensky, is an investigation of past wrongdoing, past corruption, things like this.
00:55:13.000To me, that is well within the constitutional jurisdiction of the President.
00:55:20.000This is not something that after two and a half years of Russia investigation is something that makes the president look better, right?
00:55:27.000I would think that this is not something that we want to be talking about for a long time, heading into a presidential election.
00:55:34.000This is not something that we want to be the main story.
00:55:37.000I don't think this is a rock-solid concrete case like it was with Russia.
00:55:42.000You know, clearly, even when they did the live televised Mueller testimony, I think more people watched that and came away thinking that it was a bunch of BS, it was a hoax, than came away convinced that Trump colluded with Russia.
00:55:55.000I don't think that's the case with this scandal.
00:55:57.000You know you very well may on a technical level not have an abuse of power and at a technical level you could probably chalk it up to partisanship and Democrats getting desperate and this kind of thing but it's not something that I think the president benefits from if the media lingers on this for too long particularly the more that we're finding out about it with regards to these text messages.
00:56:19.000It did constitute some kind of quid pro quo.
00:56:21.000Whether or not you could say it was totally legal, I think is another question.
00:56:25.000But a deal was clearly in the works and this kind of dealing, this kind of interaction, is not something I don't think that is going to poll well.
00:56:49.000Even if Trump did this, and even if it was illegal, it really doesn't matter.
00:56:53.000I mean, to really just drive home the main point of this show as a concept, is that none of what you're seeing on the news really matters, okay?
00:57:07.000It is meant to get you to pick a side and invest in the minutiae of something that really is fake.
00:57:14.000Of something that really just is totally illusory, right?
00:57:17.000And we went over this, I think, on Tuesday.
00:57:20.000Or, I'm sorry, on Wednesday when we talked about the second anniversary of the Las Vegas shooting.
00:57:25.000You know, this kind of political theater is meant to distract you from the real goings-ons, the real sausage-making, so to speak, you know, to borrow a phrase in politics.
00:57:35.000So, you know, we're going to go back and forth and, well, the media says we've got more documents.
00:57:54.000We're gonna get to the real feature of our show tonight, the fun stuff.
00:57:57.000Joker was out yesterday in preview screening.
00:58:01.000It's officially out today, and I have to tell you, it's probably the biggest white pill in a long time.
00:58:07.000You know, because you look at the Trump administration, you look at the Jesus is King album last week, so much of what we have been promised over the years
00:58:17.000So much that has been hyped up to be our thing.
00:58:21.000Something that's gonna make us feel better.
00:58:23.000Something that's gonna push us in the right direction.
00:58:26.000It turns out it's an album that never comes out.
00:58:31.000It's an administration that wants to, you know, bring in legal immigrants.
00:58:35.000And wants to make tax cuts happen for Walmart.
00:58:37.000And, you know, wants foreign war overseas.
00:58:40.000And so I feel like after so many years, particularly since the election of disappointment, black pills, and really it's part of a long train of decline, you know, a long, decades-long saga of generational decay in this country,
00:58:56.000Finally, something that simply lives up to the hype, right?
00:59:00.000And I'm not gonna say, like, Joker makes up for 30 years of ruin.
00:59:04.000I'm not trying to say that Joker makes up for the Trump administration being a disappointment.
00:59:37.000It's what it's cracked up to be and it's something that is authentically, legitimately an expression of what we're feeling in this time.
00:59:46.000You know, and it's funny because all the opinions about Joker and all the memes and everything else that came out in the build-up to this movie
00:59:53.000We're about a movie that nobody had even seen yet.
00:59:56.000This has been one of the most talked about cultural events, at the very least on our side of Twitter, of this year, and I think even in the mainstream as well, for months and weeks about a movie that nobody had even seen yet.
01:00:09.000That we don't even know what happens in the movie, and in spite of that, we have our side of the Twittersphere, we have glommed onto this, we have engaged with the material, and we have made this, projected perhaps, our worldview, or our vision onto this movie, as a representation of us, or what we're feeling, or at the very least something funny, something memetic, and I think
01:00:32.000Conversely, on the side of the media, on the side of the establishment, they have done the same thing, and have projected their fears and everything else onto it.
01:00:40.000You know, so to me, to have this movie play, and to see it, and for it to be what we thought it was going to be, I thought it was a great moment.
01:00:48.000And for that reason, you know, sort of introducing the film, I loved it.
01:00:54.000Now, I'm not gonna go, and I don't even care so much to break it down and give you a total, like,
01:00:59.000Critics review of the movie because I think just as a cultural as a cultural totem right or as a cultural artifact I think it is more important in that sense than as an artistic work And that's not to say that it's a bad movie.
01:01:12.000I thought it was a great movie But I think it's more important in that sense
01:01:16.000I'll start off by saying at the very least the movie's been a huge box office success.
01:01:20.000I'll read to you, this is from one of these movie sources, that says that after beating Venom's October preview record of $10 million with a $13.3 million haul last night, Joker is on its way to busting a new three-day high for the month of $92 million after a $39 million opening day.
01:01:42.000So, in other words, the Thursday preview... I guess this is a new phenomenon.
01:01:46.000I talked about this, I think, on Wednesday.
01:01:49.000It beat the record for that, which is the October for a preview night.
01:02:24.000Maybe it fits into a Halloween-type theme.
01:02:26.000You know, maybe that's why it did well in October, but it's on its way to beat records.
01:02:30.000The source goes on, it says, quote, yes, that's an opening day record for October 2, besting Halloween's $33 million.
01:02:37.000If Joker's three-day estimates remain serious, it will mark the fourth highest opening for an R-rated picture of all time, after Fox's Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and the movie It.
01:02:49.000So it's a very successful film already, which to me is great, in spite of what has been said about the movie.
01:02:54.000You know, maybe as noteworthy as the movie itself has been the buzz or the rumors about a potential attack or potential violence that might accompany the movie, because of course, the last time a, uh...
01:03:08.000I was gonna say the last time a Batman movie came out we had a mass shooting but that's actually not true because you had Batman versus Superman and you had one other movie I think you had Justice League I think had Batman in it so that's not actually true.
01:03:22.000Maybe the last franchise that had the Joker in it.
01:03:25.000Well wait that's not even true either because Suicide Squad came out also.
01:03:30.000Hmm, I should have thought this through more.
01:03:33.000Well, they said that there was going to be a shooting because, of course, you had the Dark Knight Rises shooting in 2012, right?
01:03:39.000And the Joker wasn't in that movie, but there was a shooting because in the Dark Knight, the movie that came before that one in 2009 had the Joker in it.
01:03:47.000So there's a big mass shooting at the midnight screening of that movie.
01:03:50.000That's funny though, I never really thought about that.
01:03:51.000They had movies with Batman and the Joker in it since then, but why no fear about that, right?
01:04:11.000But in any case, you know, they think that because it's a movie about a loner who gets radicalized, there's gonna be this mass casualty event.
01:04:18.000And in spite of these rumors, the movie's doing pretty well.
01:04:21.000Uh, the reviews are pretty much mediocre actually.
01:04:24.000Some are saying that the movie is the best ever.
01:04:27.000You know, a lot of good reviews are pouring in.
01:04:29.000And when it premiered at some of these film festivals, uh, last month it got really high marks.
01:04:34.000And only since it premiered at the film festivals has the rating gone down.
01:04:39.000I think it started out at well over 90% on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, but...
01:04:44.000Since it got screened for more critics and since it came out on Thursday and today, the ratings just keep going down.
01:04:50.000It was at like 90-some percent and now it's at 69% on Rotten Tomatoes, 66% on Metacritic.
01:04:57.000Of course the audience review scores are like 90%.
01:05:00.000They remain very high and like I said at the opening of the show, at the top of the show, I attribute this obviously to very salty political people
01:05:09.000You know, like I said, I read a lot of the reviews, and a lot of the reviews don't even talk about the movie itself.
01:05:14.000Almost all the critics, almost all the reviews from femoids or from these cosmopolitan-type publications, they're not even talking about the acting or the cinematography or the screenplay or, you know, normal metrics for how you might judge a film as an artistic project.
01:05:32.000Instead, like I'm about to do, they're talking about the political message.
01:05:36.000They're talking about the social commentary.
01:06:39.000You know, at a very technical level, it was a good movie in the sense that the cinematography was good, the acting was good, things like this were good.
01:06:49.000You know, it was very competent on that level, right?
01:06:53.000And beyond that, I thought it was a fantastic movie for a lot of people that are saying, well, it's hollow or it had a bad story or something like that.
01:06:59.000I think this is all politically motivated.
01:07:08.000Uh, you know, and if you saw even the trailers, I think even the trailers would communicate to you the idea that this is a serious Joker attempt, unlike Suicide Squad, right?
01:07:25.000I thought the acting was great, dialogue, everything.
01:07:28.000It was entertaining, and I thought it was really a thinker.
01:07:30.000It really drove home a message about, I think, mental illness, about people that are alone in society.
01:07:36.000And I think that's probably why a lot of people had a problem with it, because a movie like this, for what it's worth, we all know the basic premise.
01:07:43.000It's a guy, and you could, you know, you could probably discern this from the trailers.
01:07:48.000This is not a huge spoiler or anything, but it's about a guy who clearly has mental illness, and he becomes the Joker.
01:07:53.000And the Joker is a supervillain, right?
01:07:56.000He starts out as just a guy, he gets beat up, this is in the trailer, and he becomes the Joker, and the Joker is a villain, the Joker is a bad guy.
01:08:05.000And so the project of the movie is, and this is why I think it has a lot of curiosity for so long, and maybe why some people resent the movie, is because in a lot of ways there is a somewhat sympathetic portrayal of a mentally ill white man, a mentally ill straight white man,
01:08:21.000Who's in the society, gets beat up, he's portrayed as a victim, and we're supposed to feel somewhat sympathetic, at least in the beginning of the movie, and it's supposed to show us, you know, how somebody who is victimized and brought down, somebody we might sympathize with, turns into a monster, turns into a villain.
01:09:08.000And so I'm sure that's why a lot of people might have a visceral reaction, either negatively, because they fear what it might inspire, or they fear the sympathies that might be garnered from this, or positively, because it's opening a conversation.
01:09:23.000Perhaps this is shining a little bit of light on a problem, mental illness, people that slip through the cracks.
01:09:29.000That people might be experiencing themselves or they know about secondhand or maybe at an academic level they discuss these things.
01:09:36.000You know, so that's to me why it's so controversial and that really brings me to...
01:09:40.000The fundamental point, which is the socio-political message of the film and the ramifications for it all.
01:09:46.000You know, there's buzz about the mass shooting and everything.
01:09:49.000What does it say about, and I hate to say it, but what does it say about the society that we live in?
01:09:54.000You know, we have to throw that in there.
01:10:10.000And they have a police presence now and I think just about every major metropolitan area where this film is showing.
01:10:17.000There are reports, for example, that in New York City they're sending undercover NYPD agents in the screenings of this movie this weekend because they fear a mass shooter.
01:10:25.000I read a report from West Virginia where they said there was a heightened police presence.
01:10:29.000When I was at the screening last night, there was a police car stationed outside the movie theater.
01:10:34.000And so you have to ask yourself, why is the government taking it this seriously?
01:10:38.000Why is it that the media, and the critics in particular, feel the need to deter people from seeing it by giving it bad reviews and hyping up this paranoia?
01:10:47.000Why must there be, and we'll talk about maybe another angle for why this is happening, but you know, just at maybe a superficial level,
01:10:54.000We have to ask ourselves, why is it that a simple... It's a movie, for what it's worth.
01:11:09.000It's because of our online Twitter circles, and... You know, I'm speaking very broadly, not exactly me and people watching this show, but people that exist in this ostensibly counter-cultural space,
01:11:23.000That are opposed to feminism, that are opposed to the system, the establishment, the status quo, whatever you want to call it, but the mainstream, it is because of us.
01:11:32.000You know, it's not like it's accidental that it's the Joker movie that causes this.
01:11:36.000They really do fear this movie because we meme the Joker.
01:11:39.000Because in our communities, what does the Joker represent?
01:11:43.000He is an insane guy that is the ultimate gamer, he'll say the n-word,
01:11:48.000You know, and he has a problem with women, and he also happens to be, in the Dark Knight, a terrorist.
01:11:53.000And so because we meme about the Joker and talk about it, is for this reason, they fear this group would be inspired by this character, in this film, to do something terrible.
01:12:03.000And so it reminds me of something Tucker Carlson said recently at, uh, I forget where he was at, he was at some speaking event, and he said, you know, having people that are not having sex in the society, the incel thing in particular, the elites fear that.
01:12:17.000That's why they have everybody smoking pot.
01:12:19.000That's why they're sort of medicating the population because they fear this resentment, in other words, dissatisfaction.
01:12:26.000A lot of people are trying to make this movie about incels in particular.
01:12:30.000After seeing the movie, it really wasn't about incels.
01:12:33.000And in general, I don't think this phenomenon is unique to incels.
01:12:37.000We're talking broadly about resentment, bitterness, dissatisfaction, alienation.
01:13:59.000It is a tacit admission of the media, of the government, of all these mainstream forces.
01:14:06.000When they're telling you that this movie is dangerous and they have to have a police presence and all this, it is a tacit admission that, in a way, everything is just as bad as it seems.
01:14:17.000And they know that all it's gonna take, in some case, you know, we don't know if it's gonna be this one or in another time, but they know that something as simple as the release of a film like this with a meme, you know, the Joker as the titular character, rising up in the movie,
01:14:33.000That could be enough to set off the whole thing.
01:14:36.000They know that could be the match, that could be the spark that lights a big fire.
01:14:42.000And to me, that is the biggest condemnation, that is the biggest indictment of the system itself, that they fear something like this.
01:14:49.000Because if everything that they were saying is true, that things are getting better, right?
01:14:55.000I mean, that's the message, is progress.
01:15:22.000We are headed towards a better, we're being better, and we're going to make the country more equal, and so on.
01:15:28.000You know, if all that were true, a movie like this could come out and nothing would really matter, right?
01:15:33.000And particularly a movie about a straight white man.
01:15:36.000If what they said about white people were true, that you're doing okay, and you're doing more than okay, you're privileged, you're doing fine, you're doing better than anybody.
01:15:45.000If all they were saying about the country were true, that everything's okay,
01:15:49.000That everything's fine, there's no need to panic, there's no need to smash the box and, you know, pull the emergency lever.
01:15:56.000If all that were true, they wouldn't fear a movie like this.
01:15:58.000A movie like this would come out, and it would be seen as the piece of art that it is, about those unfortunate people that do happen to slip through the cracks.
01:16:05.000Because, you know, in any society, you have people that slip through the cracks, right?
01:16:09.000In any society, you have mentally ill, indigent people that are at risk, right?
01:16:14.000You've had that for as long as we've had societies, as long as we've had civilizations.
01:16:18.000And that's all it would be considered as, like any other movie like this.
01:16:21.000It would just be one among the rest in that genre.
01:16:24.000And particularly, if it was a white man, it would be about, oh, a fictional character.
01:17:16.000And by the way, and this is sort of interesting in the movie,
01:17:19.000And I don't think this is a big spoiler because we know the character, the Joker, it's not a movie that's about... Some people say the movie is about incels.
01:17:27.000Some people say, I think Tim Pool said this very stupidly, that the movie is about Antifa.
01:17:32.000The movie does not have like a partisan political message.
01:17:35.000The Joker is not like a partisan political character.
01:17:38.000It's about a guy who simply is motivated by nihilism.
01:17:42.000Somebody who just has nothing and therefore there's sort of this surreal striking back at society because of that.
01:17:49.000You know, this surreal sort of violence.
01:17:51.000In a way, it's everything that we say about mass shootings.
01:18:12.000They know that something like this might be just the thing that's gonna push people over the edge.
01:18:17.000And I think that tells you exactly how they view us, and exactly how we should view the world around us, which is we are headed towards very bad times.
01:18:26.000That's why they hate this movie, because this is an indictment of the critics themselves.
01:18:31.000It's an indictment of the media, it's an indictment of the government, of Hollywood.
01:18:35.000Now again, you might have to ask yourself what might be the other motivation for things like this.
01:18:40.000What might be the other motivation for a PSYOP attack, right, or the media, or even this film being created, right?
01:18:47.000What might be the motivation for creating a movie about a white guy who becomes radicalized and then becomes a villain?
01:18:54.000What might the government gain from something like this happening?
01:18:57.000What might the media gain from something like this happening?
01:19:00.000They've been saying for months and months, based on, by the way, zero credible threats,
01:19:05.000And not even really a credible thesis, right?
01:19:08.000The idea that they've been peddling is that this is the incel movie, so incels are gonna go and shoot it up.
01:19:14.000Well, how does that make any sense, right?
01:19:16.000If you're an incel, right, or if you're, you know, one of these people that they're talking about, one of these white people that's alienated, maybe you don't even have to be an incel.
01:19:25.000But according to this narrative, according to this idea, this is supposed to be the favorite movie of the people that commit terrorist attacks, so they're going to go to the movie that they would want to see?
01:19:37.000They're going to go to the movie that they would like, with other people who share the same interests, or are maybe feeling the same way, and shoot those people?
01:19:46.000But they've been peddling that, and again, based on no credible threats by the way, I haven't seen anybody saying they're going to carry out an attack.
01:19:53.000And there have been a lot of people on our side of Twitter that have been profiled by the FBI.
01:21:44.000That when something like this does happen, well, the seed has been planted, and when they're ready to use that as a pretext for widespread censorship, gun confiscation, you know, whatever, would follow up something like this.
01:21:56.000Maybe some kind of regulation on film, regulation on media, something like this.
01:22:01.000You know, then people would find that easier to digest.
01:22:13.000Nothing about any of this hype has been totally organic.
01:22:15.000It's all been coming from the top for the reasons I outlined previously on a meta-political level, but also because everybody on the top would stand to gain from something like this happening.
01:22:26.000And every time people at the top have something to gain from acts of so-called stochastic violence,
01:22:33.000It always seems to be pulled off right?
01:22:35.000It always seems to happen and it always seems to have connections to the intelligence community right?
01:22:40.000So I would say be on the lookout and you know always be cautious in any scenario anywhere you go into a public place these days but I would say that maybe perhaps another reason a movie like this was created
01:22:50.000and promoted and this this buzz these rumors have been uh astroturfed is because they are trying to meme something that is not quite there right they are trying to push something on us in pursuit of some kind of policy agenda so i wouldn't rule it out but i would rule out any kind of organic happening whatever if anything happens whatever happens this weekend i would say it's gonna require a lot of scrutiny because nobody's really concerned about this except for very suspicious characters in the media right but in any case
01:23:20.000You know, all of the political stuff aside, at the bottom line, it's just a great movie.
01:23:26.000You know, I said this about the recent Quentin Tarantino movie.
01:23:31.000It's a rare occasion when you can go to the movies and see a movie that doesn't have any kind of overt left-wing political programming, you know?
01:23:42.000All this notwithstanding, if you're just looking for entertainment, I think it satisfies this.
01:23:47.000You know, I saw, I went on poll after the movie to see what people are saying about it, and some were saying, it has this esoteric, occult meaning, and it's like, I, to me it's a movie, it's entertainment, all right, you know, and it's so rare that you get a piece of media that doesn't have pause straight up injected overtly in every scene, and the Quentin Tarantino movie was like this, this movie was like this.
01:24:11.000You know so at the end of the day, I think it qualifies even just for pure entertainment And it was a good film, and it was totally satisfying you know I was watching the trailer on repeat all day getting ready for it And so did you see all the scenes we've seen in the trailer and to see the grand finale?
01:24:28.000It was so satisfying to see a true gamer rise up.
01:24:32.000You don't get a lot of media moments like this, so it did live up to the hype in my opinion.
01:24:38.000If you've been following any of this, if you have been watching the trailers, trust me it's going to be cracked up to what you expected.
01:24:46.000I was nervous that it wasn't going to.
01:24:47.000I was nervous that either it would be not what I thought it was, like it would have some kind of bad message or you know there'd be some kind of like
01:24:55.000Twist at the end or something, or I thought that it wasn't going to be as good as people were saying, but I was wrong.
01:25:01.000No, it totally met my expectations and actually surpassed them.
01:25:08.000Going into the theater, and this is so classic.
01:25:12.000I probably showed up like an hour early.
01:25:15.000Me and my friend showed up an hour early to the show and so we saw all the people who saw the screening before us leaving the theater because the earlier showing was still going on and we got to the screening room and
01:25:28.000You know also it was important to check out the people leaving and I was trying to I was trying to see if I could clock anybody who might be a threat you know I was trying to gauge did I go to the right theater did I you know properly assess based on uh you know maybe socioeconomic status and ethnic makeup did I properly
01:25:45.000Triangulate the theater that has the lowest risk value for a potential happening, you know So I was trying to clock and see who's coming out of the audience.
01:25:57.000He's okay a couple of women Yeah, I mean, let's not even right and so I was watching all these people coming out and then I saw and this is so classic I saw this Mexican family coming out and they had like toddlers with them and
01:26:09.000And I don't know if you've seen this before, but this is so classic.
01:26:47.000There are themes that you're just not ready for when you haven't hit puberty yet, you know?
01:26:52.000And so to see that family come out, I was just like, but it's so typical.
01:26:55.000I've seen that probably a million times before.
01:26:58.000You know, my parents, when I was that age, we had to go to this website called With Kids In Mind, and they would assign a score for every movie based on language, sexual content, and violence.
01:27:09.000And so when I was like in grade and middle school, they would have to, well, we'll pull it up on With Kids In Mind, and if it had a very low sexual score, I could go see it, you know?
01:27:18.000It could be high in language, high in violence, my dad would take me to see it, but if it had high sexuality, he wouldn't take me.
01:27:25.000You know, I guess this movie qualified, but five years old, that's a little young, so I wouldn't see it with children, but it was definitely lived up to the hype.
01:27:32.000If you're a gamer, if you're a volcell, an incell, if you're a, you know, right-wing person, a dissident, something like that, it's gonna be the movie for you.
01:27:42.000I could not watch the movie unfold without a deeper sense of satisfaction because of, again, what it represents.
01:27:48.000It is an indictment of the system, the movie itself, and the reaction to it, you know?
01:27:53.000They are saying, it is that bad, you have nothing to lose, and something like this, something so minor, could push you over the edge, you know?
01:28:00.000And I think, in some ways, they are right.
01:29:02.000And so to have two marginalized people, which makes sense.
01:29:05.000I guess in the 80s it makes a little bit more sense than it would today.
01:29:08.000You know, black people are probably more, you know, minorities as a category, just in strict numbers terms, or more of a oddball, so to speak, than they are today.
01:29:18.000So to have him be a loner, and be poor, and to happen to see a black girl, you know,
01:29:24.000To me, my problem is not even so much a woman protagonist or a race-mixed couple in a movie.
01:29:32.000My problem is when it is obviously a political agenda.
01:29:36.000Is it impossible that a mixed-race relationship happens?
01:32:43.000Maybe if you're like a neurotypical person, it doesn't.
01:32:46.000Like, me and my buddy were laughing during the whole movie.
01:32:50.000We were joker laughing during the whole thing.
01:32:52.000We were getting such a kick out of it.
01:32:54.000And I can tell not everybody in the audience was feeling the same way, you know?
01:32:57.000When all this, like, brutal violence is happening, me and my buddy, we're like clapping, we're laughing, and everyone else is like, oh, I don't know, that's a little hardcore, you know?
01:33:16.000I would have to say that, yeah, maybe that was just us.
01:33:19.000Spexo says Joker was good, but overhyped.
01:33:22.000What are the parties of admission to see Robert?
01:33:24.000Okay, I'm not going to read that, and I'm not going to spoil anything.
01:33:28.000But, you know, I really hate people that do this, by the way.
01:33:33.000It was good, but it was overhyped and I'm gonna spoil it for everybody, you know people like you people like you should be put in jail Blances, can I get some season chat for curves?
01:33:42.000So my stats exam I definitely failed yesterday.
01:36:03.000So so Kino, you know me and my buddy we were just dying every time he was like running down a corridor Or when he put on the nose he did the thing from the trailer Uh the dancing.
01:36:30.000I have anxiety, so they played into that, right?
01:36:34.000I told my buddy, I said, I'd literally rather be in Afghanistan right now than be sitting in this theater.
01:36:40.000I think we'd be safer if we were at a military base in Kabul than right here.
01:36:45.000Anyway, anon says a preview to Joker was Hitler youth kid whose imaginary friend is Hitler and family is hiding a Jew looked it up and director His mom is Jewish.
01:36:57.000Um, I didn't get that trailer when I saw it, but I've seen that trailer before and
01:37:02.000Random number nine says violently kill yourself in minecraft if you brought your joker or rather if you brought your girlfriend to see joker Uh, yeah, i'm gonna disavow that one.
01:37:53.000What, are you gonna bring your wife and kids to see it too?
01:37:56.000You're gonna bring your adult sons who are lawyers and doctors, and you're a doctor, and your wife's a doctor, and you're all rich, and you're all handsome, and you're gonna go see it?
01:38:41.000Hi everybody Hi, I'm just like the guys I like Joker too, but uh, it really isn't for you.
01:38:47.000You're really not gonna get it it's like in that movie white men can't jump and You know, what does he say Wesley Snipes tells Woody Harrelson that if you're not black you can't really hear Jimi Hendrix It's like that, you know, you're not gonna get it
01:39:02.000So yeah, I'm I'm and I'm not I'm not memeing at all.
01:41:21.000G. L. Lyles says I probably fell for the incel narrative as hard as anyone would, so I was surprised by how relatively standard the message was.
01:43:01.000was that uh damn i can't even remember who's saying that one that's an old classic though so i appreciate the little blast from the past there who's saying that one i'm gonna i'm gonna google it real quick it is nelly ah yeah that's right man
01:43:23.000That's a good one Wow and the first one of the first suggestions is nightcore just a dream So it truly is a really good comic substance here.
01:43:30.000Well, thanks, buddy Chicken on a raft says eat the baby bigot.
01:45:10.000I can't tell if this is a joke or not.
01:45:11.000We don't have stream labs anymore Feels like a wheel says I've got another joke What do you get when you take a cringe super chatter and invite them on the show to make fun of them?
01:45:21.000Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna get a call.
01:45:23.000If I do another call-in show, somebody's gonna call up and say, you're awful.
01:45:27.000You're just like the rest of them, you know?
01:48:27.000I think we did see Avengers at like midnight though, or whatever.
01:48:30.000But typically he's like, oh, he's always carrying on if it's too late.
