    Joker 2 is a dreadful movie, absolutely awful, but it has The Joker Is Me musical number, which is the closest the film gets to being the dark camp fun you’d want from a Chicago inspired Joker courtroom musical. Weirdly this makes me dislike the film more than if it had no good scenes whatsoever

    One of my favorite elaborate things-like-this is that sports photographers in Chicago in the early 20th century would send the film straight from the stadium to the office via carrier pigeon; and the Sun-Times and Tribune would try to lead competitor pigeons astray with strategic birdseed drops.
