094 | Joker ft. Thatcher Radler

Connor & Jon are joined by Thatcher Radler to discuss Joker and why it pulled so much from King of Comedy and Taxi Driver. Jon is bothered by the messiness of the Batman and DC universe. Connor can't stand the film's tone of uber-serious. Thatcher progressively realizes how much of a rip-off this film is.
