I haven't seen the first Joker yet...is it any good?
Some aspects of it were great, they are not central to the story but added allot of spice that made it an experience to re-watch:
1) The late 70s, early 80s aesthetic of NYC. It is a modern movie that feels like a time-capusle with how they made that.
2) Joker's having hallucinations of a fake gf was deeply touching.
3) The kills, especially the first one, was really gripping...like you are totally into a type of self-defence/aggression sequence that it's disturbing.
When I looked at it, it was pre-pandemic, on streaming (just outside the cinema window but digitally available for rentals), and lost interest after the pandemic and afterwards (ie in terms of re-watching it).

Also random question, have you seen Clint Eastwood's The Mule? Is that one also good?
It was okay. None of his recent movies were better than Gran Turino (2008). They are watchable movies but they don't have a punch like that one did.
