🤡 Arthur Fleck is the Temu version of Roxie Hart 🌹
Guys, I know. There are already tons of video essays discussing the shortcomings of the Joker sequel: Folie à deux, featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. But given musical theatre is my niche, I couldn't NOT make a video about it. And I definitely couldn't let go of the opportunity to talk about the little lady who first put the musical theatre fire in my belly: Roxie Hart. Chicago was my first movie musical crush, and I think it will also be my last. Let's see if Wicked can perhaps be a close second.
