'Joker: Folie à Deux' Review: Make 'Em Laugh (and Yawn)
Todd Phillips's "Joker" sequel stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga who sing and dance like crazy kids, but the movie is seriously un-fun.
By Manohla Dargis
A version of this article appears in print on Oct. 4, 2024, Section C, Page 1 of the New York edition with the headline: Unrelenting Grimness, With Stars and Songs.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/03/movies/joker-folie-a-deux-review.html
Not Only Does Joker: Folie à Deux Waste Lady Gaga's Talent, It's a Tedious Bore to Boot
Directed by Todd Phillips, the sequel to the 2019 film is oddly anemic, a stiff jukebox musical that has little to say about its beloved pop culture villains.

NPR doesn't like the Joker either
Batman's nemesis Joker returns to theaters — this time he's got a song in his heart
The origin story of the "Joker" continues, as the sequel "Joker: Folie à Deux" hits theaters on Friday. Meanwhile on HBO, the origin story behind "The Penguin" is underway.
'Joker: Folie à Deux' is much a deux about nothing
https://www.npr.org/2024/10/04/1203595454/joker-folie-a-deux-is-much-a-deux-about-nothing
The new film Joker: Folie à Deux is the sequel to 2019's Joker, which won Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar. This new film is a courtroom drama and a romance tossed into a musical blender set to liquefy, as the Joker goes on trial for the murders he committed in the last film and falls in love with a groupie played by Lady Gaga.
City Paper and WaPo (nor NYT) don't like new Joker movie
Not Only Does Joker: Folie à Deux Waste Lady Gaga's Talent, It's a Tedious Bore to Boot
'Joker: Folie à Deux': Don't come to this musical looking to get happy
Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga star in a sequel that's most interesting for ideas that are buried in grim entertainment.

Oct 5: HENRY & GLENN SIGNING WITH TOM NEELY at Fantom Comics
>> SATURDAY, October 5th @ Noon
To celebrate the new comic of Henry & Glenn Tom Neely is on tour and will be stopping by Fantom Comics to do a live reading and a signing!
Everyone's favorite aging punk odd couple lights up the page once more in the first all-new Henry & Glenn floppy comic in a decade. Inside you'll find 'I Don't Want to be Buried,' the first chapter of a brand new story written and drawn by Tom Neely. Our squabbling, loving heroes have adopted a new cat they named Iggy. Iggy and Henry become best friends, but Glenn has a lot of trouble connecting with the new kitty. Also, Henry gets cast in a new movie directed by Jon Twaters; so Glenn gets left home alone with Iggy… and it does not go well! You'll also find a retrospective of Henry & Glenn lore and collectibles, and a comic short True Tale of Henry & Glenn featuring the time Tom sat on a plane next to the drummer for Samhain. Plus a cameo from Henry and Glenn's neighbors Daryl and John and some spicy new pin-ups, including a back cover pin-up by Justin Hall!

New Spider-Man story out from David Betancourt
I know, I know—normally the headline is something corny, but I'm quite earnest when it comes to SPIDER-MAN: STORIES FROM THE SPIDER-VERSE, out today from Marvel Press. It's a brand-new middle-grade anthology of prose short stories featuring ten different Spider-heroes, written by ten different authors, including my good pal Alex Segura, who sets up the connective tissue with an awesome Miguel O'Hara Spider-Man 2099 tale. I'm in intimidatingly talented company here, and was very honored when editor John Morgan III asked me to contribute a Web-Weaver story to the collection.
