Joe Rogan on Joaquin Phoenix’s ‘Joker’
The duo was talking about how the government and laws have prioritized releasing criminals as compared to the safety of the citizens. Joe Rogan said that it was actually the only way to bring chaos to a city. It was at this point that Bridget Phetasy exclaimed, “Think about the joker letting prisoners free.”
Rogan laughed and said “when that movie came out. I remember I went to see it with my wife, we were in the movie theater and were watching joker and she is like ‘this seems a little too close to possible’. That was the best version of the Joker ever. It’s fu*king good and they are doing a joker 2 right now. “
