Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said: "It's the worst film ever made. I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, 'Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism! All these think pieces. And then I think, 'What if we went the other way,' and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point where it's insane."
