    It’s the 3rd watch of the day, and the 11th watch over all so far and the bys re wearing thin. Guy is trying to figure out whether it matter if Joker 2’s director, Todd Phillips made a bad film intentionally or not. Tim believes the movie may be talking to him.

  • 10: Grease Lightning Monocle w/ Abby Howells

    55:53|
    Dr Abby Howells, PhD (whose doctoral thesis is fittingly 'Performing prison: How is life on the inside portrayed to the outside world?') joins Tim and Guy to praise Joker 2 for one reason only: "It is not as racist as prison movies typically are." Apart from this silver lining, there's a lot of critical clouds on the horizon of Folie à deux - a fact that will shock anyone who's listened to other episodes of this series. More importantly though - we get to know about Abby's portrayal as the Cowardly Lion and the history of the worst play of all time.If you think this project has ANY VALUE AT ALL, please consider supporting us via twioat.substack.com

    Get ready for a completely earnest discussion about the movie Joker: Folie à Deux cause these guys have lost it. Tim’s review of this watch? “I miss my family and I want to leave.” Guy’s feelings on critics who aren’t down at The Classic with them watching this film? Frauds. Tim pontificates on what Chris Nolan would have to say to Todd Phillips, Guy believes Todd has left breadcrumbs in the movie to show his appreciation of Always Sunny and Arrested Development and both of our boiz wonder about these inmates’ piss buckets.Good news - you can support us at twioat.substack.com

    The Male Gayz’ Eli Matthewson and Chris Parker join Guy and Tim in the rats nest they have created in The Classic comedy club in central Auckland to enjoy Joker 2 again, having been incredibly disappointed by Folie à Deux when they saw it at the NZ premiere upon its initial release. The quad discuss how the film should be compared to Mama Mia, how Joaquin dreamed the concept into being and dig into the truly grim reality of this season for the boiz.

    We've got it all - running water in the urinal, personal agency and a 7th watch of Joker 2. Tim and Guy examine the brutal reality of the seven times at the trough. Stuffed, so completely, with Joker 2.Monty is steadfast in his belief that he simply will not be bossed around by this movie, and breaks down (with the detail and vocabulary of a decades-long sports commentator) the back and forth of the boiz' latest fight. Guyguy also puts up a spirited defence of Steve Coogan's performance within the context of the borderline impossible acting job he had to perform. And let us not forget the brilliant Catherine Keener.Tim meanwhile wants to dig deep into the nature of comedy (again), clowns and what the movie was trying to do with all three of those things.This art project can only exist with the helper of generous supporters like you, via twioat.substack.com

    Coming to you from the sleeping bags they just spent the night in, inside the comedy club they currently live in - Guy and Tim are picking apart the financial performance of Joker 2 and the incredible reaction of Todd Phillips upon release of the film. Tim tries (to limited avail) to tie the trajectory of the watches to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ five stages of grief. Guy poses the question: Who are the fans of this movie?Please enjoy our pursuits in full HD video at twioat.substack.com
