The Joker trailer gives the audience a mesmerizing taste of the transformation from Arthur Fleck to Joker. I watched the film this past weekend, and I left the theater feeling weird being in the “real world” again after being engulfed in the film. Warner Bros. Pictures The trailer…

The show’s creator, Sam Levinson, shaped rich characters with complex storylines that portray difficult issues in a raw manner. You can stream the first season…
