Sounds like it may be a good idea to skip the first 20-30 minutes of this movie, which will largely be Maron's character rambling about his cats.

Re: Joker (2019, D: Todd Phillips) -- S: Joaquin Phoenix

There is word that the standalone DC Comics film is possibly targeting an R-rating as nudity is said to be involved in some smaller female roles. Our first assumption hearing this is that Todd might be casting actresses to play strippers in the film.

Sounds pretty integral to the plot and a good reason for an R rating. Just don’t show any Joker junk please.

You didn't like episodes of WTF you mean? All the episodes I've listen to, Maron seemed to be a really good interviewer, and his guests seem to enjoy themselves. What didn't you like about the show?

I feel like he makes his interviews too much about himself. He interjects too many of his own experiences and anecdotes. I tune in for the guest and their stories, not Maron's.

It's a personal pet peeve of mine, I guess, but I also think he's over-hyped and really nothing special.

I guess it would make sense since Baldwin and Affleck both played Jack Ryan. Now they can be father and son.

Wow, I always really wanted Baldwin as Batman. This is close enough.

Joaquin Phoenix Looks Noticeably Thinner Ahead of 'Joker' Filming

Truth be told I don’t see why it’s necessary to have Thomas Wayne in this anyways. It probably would be something dumb like in the New 52 where it’s revealed that he had a double life as an addict before Bruce was born and ran with crime families. Either that or like the Telltale series where it’s revealed he was a surgeon for crime families.

I’m guessing that’s how they’d try and tie him into Joker’s backstory somehow.

Could just have him "ironically" save the Joker's life one day in surgery or something.

That’s about how I imagine it would go down. Likely before he becomes The Joker. Either that or if they went the junkie route Joker’s gang would be his supplier or something. All in some desperate attempt to tie Batman and Joker instead of just having them conflict naturally.
