Bill Maher: ‘Cult Leader’ Taylor Swift Could Swing Election
Illustration by Eric Faison/The Daily Beast/Reuters/HBOThough Bill Maher is no fan of Donald Trump, he is concerned that Taylor Swift could potentially swing the election in Kamala Harris’ direction with just a social media post.On the latest episode of his Club Random podcast, Maher told comedian—and proud Swiftie—Nikki Glaser, “If she said, ‘Vote for Trump,’ then he’d win,” adding, “That’s not good.”“Trump [with his supporters], that’s a cult—but so is this,” Maher continued, referring to Swift’s fanbase. “It is a cult. Maybe a cult leader can be a source for good and not evil and I think she genuinely is [good]. I have no reason to put her down or desire to. I always have the greatest respect for a success,” he continued. Maher had previously joked on Real Time With Bill Maher that the star “drives MAGA Nation crazy” because she’s also a “blonde billionaire with a cult,” like Trump.Read more at The Daily Beast.

‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Is So Bad and So Boring It’s Absolutely Shocking
Niko TaverniseFor all its shortcomings, Joker thrummed with mad volatility. Thus, it’s deflating to discover that, despite being a musical co-starring Lady Gaga, Joker: Folie à Deux tamps down any potential explosiveness, delivering only dreary courtroom drama and perfunctory song-and-dance numbers.Todd Phillips’ follow-up to his 2019 hit, in theaters Oct. 4, is so determined to avoid satisfying fans that it’s borderline antagonistic, as actively hostile to genre conventions as its protagonist is to the world at large. Worse, the fact that it’s self-conscious about this denial (“I got the sneaking suspicion we’re not giving the people what they want,” remarks its protagonist) doesn’t help alleviate its dullness, lethargy, and dearth of unsettling laughs.Joker: Folie à Deux is the addendum nobody wanted, a long-form footnote in which the events of Joker are literally relitigated before a jury and the public. Incarcerated in Arkham Asylum following his murder spree, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix, reprising his Oscar-winning role), aka Joker, is now a glum inmate who can’t even muster a joke for guard Jackie Sullivan (Brendan Gleeson).Read more at The Daily Beast.
