In a shocking revelation, comedian Tim Dillon, who had a minor role in "Joker: Folie à Deux," has publicly lambasted the film, calling it "the worst film that has ever been made." Dillon's scathing critique came during an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, where he shared his behind-the-scenes experience on the set of the controversial sequel.
Dillon, who played an Arkham Asylum security guard in the film, didn't mince words as he described the production. "It has no plot," he stated bluntly, recounting conversations with fellow actors on set who shared his bewilderment. "We'd hear this crap and I'd go, 'What the f— is this?' And they'd go, 'This is going to bomb, man.'"
The comedian's harsh assessment extends beyond mere disappointment, with Dillon declaring the film "not even hate-watchable." He theorized that the sequel's radical departure from the original "Joker" was a deliberate response to criticisms of the first film's alleged appeal to "incels" and its themes of "male rage" and "nihilism."
Dillon's comments come in stark contrast to the massive success of the original "Joker," which grossed over $1 billion worldwide. The sequel, however, has struggled at the box office, earning only $204 million globally thus far.
Despite the overwhelmingly negative reception, the film has found an unexpected champion in Quentin Tarantino. The acclaimed director praised Joaquin Phoenix's performance as "one of the best I've ever seen in my life" and lauded director Todd Phillips for his audacious approach, describing the film as a defiant statement against Hollywood conventions.
As the debate surrounding "Joker: Folie à Deux" continues, Dillon's insider perspective adds fuel to the controversy, leaving audiences and critics divided over this polarizing sequel.
