Apparently Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga (allegedly) aren’t the only people who acted in Joker: Folie à Deux that thought it was a terrible movie.
Comedian Tim Dillon, who played the pivotal role of Arkham Guard #4 in the film, also thought it sucked.
“It’s the worst film that has ever been made,” Tim Dillon bluntly told Joe Rogan on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience this week. “It’s actually not ‘so bad.’ It’s the worst film ever made.
“I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism!’ All these think pieces. And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way,’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing, to a point where it’s insane.”
Tim Dillon then went on the explain how baffled he and many of the other background actors were during the production of Joker: Folie à Deux.
“We would sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed in these security outfits because we’re working at the Arkham Asylum, and I would turn to one of them, and we’d hear this crap, and I’d go, ‘What the f— is this?’ And they’d go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’ I go, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever…
“We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, ‘What is the plot? Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in the prison?’”
Dillon wasn’t done there.
“It has no plot,” he continued. “It’s not even hate watchable. That’s how terrible it is.”
Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney know exactly how that feels.
Last month, after the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux at the Venice International Film Festival, movie fans believe that a conversation between Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga revealed the Joker actor telling the singer slash actress, “It’s horrible.”
Whether that is true remains to be seen, but one thing is very clear, Tim Dillon hates the movie.
