Closing Riff: Joker 2 as Universal Consensus
from The Joker 2 & Kamala Harris | The Tim Dillon Show #412 · #412
3 min
Tim closes by declaring Joker 2 a rare unifying cultural touchstone, arguing that no matter people's politics everyone agrees the film is the biggest piece of garbage ever made, ending the show on that shared hatred.
- Tim argues that cultural consensus is rare and valuable—Joker 2 is one of the only things everyone agrees on, and it's universally reviled.
- Anyone who says nice things about the movie gets ratioed and attacked online, making it nearly impossible to defend.
- Tim compares the loss of consensus to why politicians can't go to diners anymore without causing pandemonium over small gestures like eating a french fry.
- Joker 2 brought America together across political divides—Trump voters, Harris voters, and everyone in between all agree the film is a disaster.
- The movie represents an unmitigated failure and waste of time, money, and talent that should end everyone's career involved in it.
- Shared hatred of Joker 2 is the last thing Americans have left to unite them—old and young, gay and straight, rich and poor all despise it equally.
