Comedian Tim Dillon Slams ‘Joker’ Sequel As “Worst Film Ever” On Joe Rogan Podcast

Comedian Tim Dillon, who had a brief role as a security guard in "Joker: Folie à Deux," recently criticized the movie while on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast. 

Dillon called Todd Phillips’ “Joker” sequel “the worst film ever made.” The movie did not do well with critics or at the box office, earning just $58 million in the U.S. and $204 million worldwide—far below the original “Joker” movie, which made $1 billion.

Dillon explained his disappointment, saying, “It’s the worst film ever made.” He shared his view that after the first “Joker” movie, some people labeled it as a “male rage” film with the wrong message. He thinks that, as a response, the creators decided to go in a very different direction with the sequel. The result, according to Dillon, is a movie where stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga end up tap dancing in Arkham Asylum, the setting for the film.

Dillon went on to criticize the film’s lack of a clear plot, saying, “We’d sit there, and I’d ask, ‘What is this?’” He joked that maybe the movie was just a “practical joke” costing $200 million, which he believes let down fans of the original.


Interestingly, not everyone agrees with Dillon’s harsh review. Director Quentin Tarantino recently praised the sequel, calling Phoenix’s acting one of the best he’s ever seen. Tarantino said the film’s bold direction makes it feel like it was created by the Joker himself, describing it as a surprising twist that defies audience expectations. Source
