Wasn't Brad Dourif typecast as a serial killer for a while? Yeah, he was good in The X-Files, but also showed up in Babylon 5 (in an episode that was somewhat histrionic, but well-thought-out) and Star Trek: Voyager (meh).

Is “joker” a reboot, a spin-off or a franchise?

The first one? None of the above. It's Scorsese karaoke disguised as a rebooted spin-off prequel franchise.

Gene Hackman was good in Get Shorty. He's a good actor..

Listener Robert:

I didn't see the first "Joker", but from discussion I understand that the weight of opinion in interpreting it was that it did NOT depict the origin of the Joker character in the DC universe, but rather that it was in our world and about a figure who was either familiar with the DC Joker character or not, but who adopted characteristics that arguably were like him.

the thing about true character actors is you don’t really think of them until you see them on screen and do the DiCaprio meme, whistling and pointing at the screen

It’s like a combination of 2 of my favorite DeNiro movies: King of Comedy (more so) and Taxi Driver (less so)
