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.

In this bit6 moments
  • 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.
