I thought The People's Joker was amazing, rising above the punk pleasures of its DIY aesthetic and corporate shelf-raiding to become a deeply sincere work of queer underground art. Feels hyper-specific like a handcrafted mix-tape, a personalized act of camp reclamation.
That this movie can steal and borrow from bloated mega-merger IP, contort it to a new purpose, force it to sing about loving yourself: it's the most beautiful form of corporate blasphemy.
