This is not a good movie, but it’s bad in much more interesting ways than its predecessor, and there’s a high chance it ruins the first one for all of the Joker bros. Nice job, Todd.

The script might have needed another pass.

Loved the cast, attention to detail and how it was filmed, but this is a story about Saturday Night Live when it should be about Lorne Michaels.
It all comes together nicely at the end, but the build up feels narratively scattershot, devoting time to the aura of SNL over telling a compelling story. If you gave Sorkin this script with all its great parts, he would have built a fucking ferrari.
All that being said, Cooper Hoffman is single handedly making me believe in the power of neopetism. Also, we need Robert Wuhl in a hell of a lot more movies.

A masterclass of economy in storytelling.

Judy Greer’s character would have been a great tweeter if given the opportunity.

Catherine O’Hara has that superpower where she can make literally any line funny, and I don’t think we talk about her enough.

Frankly, M. Night cooked with this one to a degree we haven’t seen from him in a very very long time.

Kevin Costner doing hammy accents in 60’s set political thrillers is the best movie genre

I’m glad that Glen Powell and the word rizz came into the cultural zeitgeist at the same time. They needed one to explain the other.

Creepy, atmospheric, deeply unsettling, economical in its storytelling, but also really funny!
