"The People's Joker" is wonderful, and now being screened in the UK - www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

The People’s Joker “the most innovative superhero film of the decade” Read the review by Tara Brady in @irishtimes.com www.irishtimes.com/culture/film... Then get your tickets to watch it here 3-5 Mar triskelartscentre.ie/events/the-p...

Bonkers, brilliant, poignant, uncomfortable, laugh out loud (incl involving a policeman near the start, IMO). 5hr round trip car journey but so worth the effort. I missed to understand some of the humour and sometimes missed to hear/understand some dialogue. Subtitles helped (Mockingbird Birmingham)

Okay. People's Joker was AMAZING.

I saw The People's Joker the other day with the bestie and it was so good. I 1000% recommend.

Tickets for the first of nine (!) programs in next month’s big EZTV series in LA are live — this one is the first-ever retrospective of video art duo Vertical Blanking (Michael J. Masucci + ia Kamandalu), at REDCAT www.redcat.org/events/2025/...

I'm a little late adding this here - I spent yesterday too ill to get out of bed - but following the keen response to the first part, here's part two of my interview with @veradrew22.bsky.social about 'The People's Joker', in which we talk about the Penguin, animation styles & a therapeutic wedding.

Just saw The People's Joker by @veradrew22.bsky.social at @cubecinema.com and WOW, if you get chance to see it DO IT!!! Haven't laughed and cried in a cinema like that in a long time.

I think I liked People's Joker more the second time, because I was more ready for the specific moments that really cut me and was like, more able to enjoy the beautiful chaos of it all

Saw The People's Joker this evening. Absolutely hilarious and wild to be in a packed cinema screening with like an 80% trans audience.

I finally saw The People’s Joker last night and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so seen by a film.

Just saw The People’s Joker and it was so worth it

People's Joker tme babeeeyyyyyyy

Waiting to go watch The People’s Joker and also doing preparatory reading (been meaning to read this for a while now)

THIS WEEK: The People's Joker (15) This revolutionary DIY parody film and hilarious reimagining of the classic autobiographical coming-of-age story follows an unconfident, closeted trans girl as she moves to Gotham City to make it big as a comedian. Thu 27 February 6:00pm https://buff.ly/3X8G5SX

Loved watching The People's Joker by @veradrew22.bsky.social at @cpxmcr.bsky.social this weekend. An honest, raw depiction of trans identity, as well as a fast-paced, silly and sharp comedy. With real indie filmmaking spirit instead of dull corporate sheen, it's the best superhero movie in years.

More Ukrainian films are available to watch on @dovzhenkoc.bsky.social's website - and a lot come with English subtitles. The small cost (c£1.60 per film) contributes towards supporting the work of Ukraine's national film archive online.dovzhenkocentre.org/films/

What a weekend of sold-out The People's Joker screenings! Today, though, you can see TPJ in Belfast, Brighton, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Epsom, Galway, Liverpool, London, Norwich, Sheffield and York🎉 Lots more screenings to come, but today IT’S THE DAY OF THE JOKER! matchboxcine.com/thepeoplesjoker

A movie that defies not just Warner Brothers but defies what was thought possible-a real attempt to reclaim the collective modern mythology of modern media for the public and out of the hands of oligarchs.

"I think more than anything, it was a ritual of self care, marrying the Joker" - Vera Drew on her latest short and The People's Joker www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/feature/2025... #filmsky 🎬🏳️‍⚧️

the people's joker is the solution to todd phillip's joaquin phoenix led joker all the themes of marginalisation that tp's 'joker' tries to express...drew knocks all that out of the park it's so good

“The People’s Joker” was the best film I saw in 2024. @veradrew22.bsky.social is a visionary with the most knife-like (positive) sense of humor I’ve ever experienced. She showed me what is possible when you yell the truth boldly into the face of the fearful. This film is a true masterpiece.

this diva

Really looking forward to seeing this:

assisitndo urgente só pq ela ta zoando o snl meu maior inimigo

The fact that a trans woman is in a British newspaper calling JK Rowling a witch is making me squeal with laughter haha - British libel laws mean we can’t talk so openly here but since Vera’s American she can say what she likes

Watched The People's Joker tonight and was blown away by the power of cinema again

“In a lot of ways, SNL is really kind of an arm of the US military-industrial complex." Read @the-independent.com's new interview with @veradrew22.bsky.social!

Was really hoping @veradrew22.bsky.social and The People's Joker would win the John Cassavetes award, but still glad that something so aggressively trans was even nominated.

In personal news I still have a grin on my face from finally watching The People's Joker yesterday afternoon. Vera Drew's film is a massive achievement on many levels, a rush of energy in the face of surrendering to apathy.

Saw The People's Joker last night and I...... I think you should watch it

I was gripped by a vision and had to teach myself to sprite to realize it. With apologies to @veradrew22.bsky.social and @localthunk.bsky.social.

in my experience it's the second viewing of The People's Joker that heals the trauma

castration movie nyc march 9th almost sold out ticketing.uswest.veezi.com/purchase/599...

My tickets are booked to finally see The People’s Joker. So happy that @veradrew22.bsky.social has been able to get the film in cinemas here in the uk!

It was an honor to be nominated for a spirit award and a mind blowing full circle moment to meet Mark Duplass. Absolutely surreal to hear him say “I know you, you made the people’s joker fuck yeah.” I got to thank him for giving my generation of filmmakers the advice: “the calvary isn’t coming.” 1/2

Been working on the potential programming for some movie/dinner nights with friends Still not sure if I'll be able to get everyone round before Xmas but plenty of non holiday choices for January
