Following in the footsteps of actors like Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Jared Leto, Joaquin Phoenix is the latest actor to take on the intimidating role of Joker. Hangover director Todd Phillips has taken a swing at an origin movie for the clown prince, and we get to explore Gotham City in 1989 before Bruce Wayne even put on the cowl and became Batman.
Although Phoenix is absolutely mesmerizing on-screen, the movie itself definitely raises some questions. Like are there any parts of it that aren’t inspired by or lifted from Scorsese movies like The King of Comedy and Taxi Driver? Who was even filming in that comedy club? And what exactly is this movie trying to say?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Joker! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

Matpat’s scene was beautiful

[@sign543]

The explanation for the convenience of having him taped in 1981 is...that particular club probably films all of their acts just in case they get one who is really talented and can send it to Murray. That was actually true of some big city comedy clubs in the 1980s. They worked as sort of “scouts” for the industry, discovering new talent.

[@escott1981]

Ya its a scout club that Author went on hoping to get on Murray and he did, just not for the reason he wanted to. That is an excellent explanation!

[@sign543]

Eric Scott - Thanks! Also...1981 isn’t ancient history. For Pete’s sake, the VCR was already in many households since 1975. I bet if we searched on KZbin for videos of comedians in comedy clubs from 1980-1982...there are many. Also the way Murray mentions Pogos the way he did makes me think that they often used that club for new talent. 👍🏼

[@escott1981]

@@sign543 Ya some people have questioned how he could have a VCR. While it did exist by 1981, I think it would be way too expensive for poor people such as Author. He used the VCR after paying Sophia a visit so maybe he killed her and stole it from her? I'm pretty convinced that this whole thing is a story he was thinking about or telling the therapist in the last scene anyway so maybe all this doesn't matter anyway.

[@sign543]

James Midnite - How do you know that? Maybe they record all of the stand-up acts, and maybe the camera is mounted in the back wall where it can’t be seen unless you know it’s there.

[@sign543]

James Midnite - That makes no sense. You’re making up arbitrary rules. Maybe they record EVERY PERFORMANCE, since they might also get awful ones like that one. For the comedic factor...in fact, the evidence for this would be that Murray used it! Comedy shows look for cringe performances, too.
