A disjointed performance within a mediocre movie? Or, the best adaptation of a legendary character? We feud, you decide!
On this week's episode, the boys debate the highly anticipated - Joker. They reach common ground fairly quickly regarding Joaquin Phoenix's performance. Vikram's argument hinges on how the performance doesn't gel well with the movie, harming the overall impact it had on him while Vidur thinks they're 2 sides to the same coin and thought it enhanced the movie. After that, the guys get into an absurd discussion of who the best Joker was (the legendary Raj Kapoor features on this list) which successfully tilts Vikram. Ending theories, gushing over the score and some (deserved?) criticism of Todd Phillips leads this feud to its natural conclusion.
