Film maker and Affirmative Right contributor Richard Wolstencroft joins Andy Nowicki and Colin Liddell to discuss "Joker," the film that everyone is talking about.
Why has this story, ostensibly that of an "incel loser" clown, struck such a deep chord? Is it the ambiguity of the "unreliable narrator" forcing us to create our own compelling Rorschach pictures of what we see, or is it because we really are living in Clown World?
