Quentin Tarantino Praised ‘Joker 2’ and Got Called a ‘F—ing Asshole’ by Toxic Fanboys; He Fires Back: ‘What Do You Care What the F— I Like?’


Quentin Tarantino praised "Joker 2" and then got called an asshole by fanboys. Now he's firing back.

Quentin Tarantinomade headlines in late October when he defended “Joker: Folie à Deux” and said that Joaquin Phoenix gives “one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in my life in this movie,” which apparently pissed off a lot of fanboys. The Oscar winner was a recent guest on “The Joe Rogan Experience” and called out some of the toxic reactions to his love for the maligned “Joker” sequel. Tarantino gave his “Joker 2” defense during an interview on “The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast.” He was one of the first prominent directors to speak up in support of the movie, which earned largely negative reviews and bombed at the box office with $58 million domestically and $206 million worldwide.
