Big fan of the movie Joker and sincerely believe it’s the collective effort of Todd, Joaquin and Lawerence! Excellent podcast!

[@JoaqStan]

He said lots of things, great insights but all the media chose to pick up “call me Lee”, I wonder has Gaga and her Pr decided to usurp this movie completely?!

[@bobbfredd]

so great he's amazing . great show !

[@MattTipold]

Amazing interview. Awesome to hear Lawernce speak candidly. Motivation for the future!

[@the_trenches___]

Thanks Matti! Thoroughly appreciate the comment, glad you found value in this conversation.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for such a candid, uplifting chat gentlemen! EVERYONE involved in the process of filmmaking should watch/listen to this episode, regardless of whether they're starting out or a seasoned pro. There are true pearls of wisdom throughout this entire conversation! I worked for Larry years ago on a few projects and it's great to see he's not only kept his humility as he's achieved more success, but also his sense of humor and joy of storytelling. I love that he gives props to his Key Grip, Gaffer and Camera Assistants (Hi Julie Donovan!), and is admittedly a "soldier for the director"! The business needs more like him who are willing to have it out with the producers or whomever in defense of the greater good of the film. I'm inspired! Thanks again guys. Liked & Subscribed! ✊

[@philpritchard5173]

@@the_trenches___ I thought so, thanks for the reply. And thanks to Mr Sher for sharing his knowledge.

[@anton3909]

Gaga's commitment to everything that she does... She's so inspring

[@Vipashayana.]

Loved the podcast, big fan of Joker but not excited about Joker 2. Musical and Gaga, both I dislike.

[@melisagalvalizi6982]

WHAT DID GAGA DO TO YOU?

[@Vipashayana.]

@@melisagalvalizi6982her acting sucks and I don’t want my favourite movie be ruined by her.

[@kevinlove6974]

​@@Vipashayana."Her acting sucks?!". Oh really is that why she's an Oscar nominated actress, BAFTA actress nominee and a bunch of other acting wins and awards? Yeah clearly you just a hater.

[@sixxstarz4646]

it's truly devastating that Joker 2 is a musical. worst decision in film history

[@kevinlove6974]

You even haven't seen the movie. Shut up! Honestly

[@dannyupthereds4729]

I get tht but I trust that most of the first film are on board. It’s going to be amazing.
