Joker: Folie à Deux
(Warning: Contains spoilers) Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) released October 4, 2024 is the sequel to the much more successful Joker (2019), both starring Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role. The film has received mostly negative reviews and low rating scores amongst critics and audiences alike. It also has been a flop at the box office and even allegedly had audience members walking out mid-showing. This negative response is due largely to the fact that it was a musical, and a lot of people apparently didn’t go in prepared for it to be a musical.

'Doctor Who': "The Great Beyond" Review
Doctor Who’s 1982 season was one of transition. One that saw not only Peter Davison taking over from Tom Baker after the latter’s seven year run as the Time Lord, but also with a young cast of companions, and a back to basics approach for the series. It was a ratings success and one that has retained a loyal following in the Doctor Who fan community ever since. Big Finish, those prolific producers of Doctor Who audio drama, have also been tapping into that season in a number of their releases reuniting the cast decades later. The Great Beyond, released in September 2024, takes them even farther.
