Defending Joker Folie a Deux
Joker makes the argument that his sequel is a decent movie. "The second Joker film might be messy, maybe the plot drags on a bit and the musical numbers certainly can be jarring. It may not be a perfect film, I'm not saying that! Nobody is, but awful?! A one star flop, unworthy of recognition? Come on people! Don't let the loud, thunderous voices of harsh critics cloud your judgement entirely now. Although this sequel doesn't live up to the hype and expectations of the original, that does not necessarily mean Folie a Deux is completely unwatchable! On the contrary, I'd wager that there is plenty to enjoy about this sequel that many have chosen to look over completely. May I remind you of Joaquin's outstanding acting in the original movie? Well, he has certainly carried over that talent into this follow up. He essentially plays two roles in this film, that of Arthur Fleck and his dark alter ego, The Joker! Both personalities are rather different. Arthur; the shy, mentally traumatised loner who knows little outside of misery. Joker; who is the polar opposite! A confident, theatrical character like some comic book super villain, one who has a dark sense of humour and dances rather spectacularly! Yet, the way Joaquin flips between both characters is honestly flawless and believable in both films. Can you honestly say other, your honour? How about Lady Gaga's performance in the film? Not only is she a talented singer, but-" "Objection, this movie is about Joker!" Harvey Dent yells.

Joker: Folie à Deux
Back in 2019, few believed a standalone Joker movie would be successful; thanks to its adult-oriented approach and an excellent performance from Joaquin Phoenix, WB and Todd Phillips struck gold. Five years later and the sequel has taken a staggering downturn.

Agatha All Along
We are headed down the witches road and the trials have begun. The first round of trials seemed to bring out the witches deepest fears. We got some very vague insight into each of them and I am hoping that this episode dives a little deeper into backstories and motivations. Episode 4 is titled If I can’t Reach You/Let My Song Teach You. Titling the episodes after lines of the song was a stroke of genius by the way. I love it. As always the fan theories have been floating around. Now that Sharron is dead the latest one that TikTok has come up with is that Rio and Sharron are one in the same and she’s been with the coven the whole time. I love this crazy theories. I think MCU fans are a little crazy and oftentimes their theories have no basis in reality but that is exactly why the weekly release format is so important. There is more time to feel connected to the show and get excited about it.

Moriarty the Patriot — An Innovative Retelling, or a Disappointment?
Professor James Moriarty is a famous and fairly important antagonist in the original Sherlock works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He was created by Doyle to be the man to “end” Sherlock Holmes himself, who sacrificed his own life to die with Moriarty in the famous story “The Final Problem” (and he’s totally dead).

The Truth Behind Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth: A Buddhist Perspective
In Buddhism, truth holds great significance. It reveals falsehoods, deceptions, and the genuine nature of reality. It wasn't until I delved into my recent study of The Noble Eightfold Path (the path to enlightenment) that I recognized the correlation between the right of speech (one of the eight practices) and Wonder Woman's lasso of truth.
