Some sequels are content to simply redo the same movie. Others expand the narrative and introduce new characters. A few decide they want to destroy their own creation and purposely antagonise fans with a movie that bears little resemblance to its predecessor. Joker: Folie á Deux, Todd Phillips' sequel to his smash hit 2019 Joker origin story, does all three. It replays the events of the first film via a court trial. It progresses the story and introduces a love interest for its deranged protagonist. But aside from its sickly colour palette and a setting inspired by the grime of '70s New York, it bears little resemblance to 2019's Joker, chiefly because it's a musical.
