Arturo and first time guest Alex discuss DC's first Rated R film starring Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role, JOKER

Joaquin Phoenix dives into the depths of madness in Todd Phillips' 'Joker', a different kind of comic-book origin story based on Gotham's very own Clown Prince of Crime. Also, Robert Pattinson discovers the beauty of living on the far edges of the known universe in Claire Denis' 'High Life', available this week on Amazon Prime. Finally, Martin Scorsese told Empire Magazine that Marvel movies are closer to theme park rides than cinema, Jurassic World 3 casts three of the biggest names from the original film series, and is Spider-Man back at Disney again? Tune in to find out!

Rage, tears, laughs and one very bad day. We're reviewing 'Joker'.

In James Gray's new science-fiction film 'Ad Astra', Brad Pitt is Roy McBride, an unnaturally calm and collected astronaut in a not-too-distant future where the earth is plagued by consumerism, space pirates, and a series of mysterious magnetic pulses that send our hero on an intergalactic quest to find out what truly happened to his missing father. Also, after a four-year hiatus, Peter Jackson returns to the screen in 'They Shall Not Grow Old', a World War I documentary with an emphasis on Britain's hyperlocal interpretation of the war and an absolutely stunning color-corrected computer-enhanced presentation of archival footage that ultimately weaves a tale of heroes, heartbreak, and reflection that's simply unmatched in the documentary space today. Finally, TV Movies are making a comeback with 'El Camino' and 'Downton Abbey', Netflix sees a not-so-surprising dip in profits, and which up-and-coming Oscar nominee is slated to play a villain in Robert Pattinson's 'The Batman'? Tune in to find out.

Set against the backdrop of a thriving New York City poised on the brink of financial ruin, Hustlers tells the story of Destiny and Ramona, two high-class exotic dancers (played by Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez) who decide to take fate into their own hands in this american crime-drama film based around a true story of the 2008 financial crisis. Also, Saoirse Ronan plays Queen Mary Stuart in Mary Queen of Scots, a political period drama about the challenges of holding onto identity and womanhood in the age of smallpox, civil war, and centuries of bloodshed against Queen Elizabeth the first, played by a brilliant Margot Robbie. Finally, NBC announces it's new streaming service 'Peacock', J.J. Abrams agrees to an exclusivity deal with Warner Bros., and which movie subscription service is finally kicking the bucket? All that and more in the 75th episode of Off Script Film Review!

Our bat-pal Sean Gerber has seen Todd Phillips' JOKER starring Joaquin Phoenix and drops in to share his spoiler-free thoughts!
