Episode 35: The Joker
Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?
We kick off season three of This Week in Dystopia with a discussion of The Joker. From the DC Comics’ character to Heath Ledger and then Jacquin Phoneix's portrayal of the supervillain, host Chris Robichaud and guest Lauren Spohn discuss the charter we love to hate — or maybe just love?
Is the Joker the product of society? An inevitable part of Gotham? Can you have Batman without the Joker? Tune in for this and more.
