Anachronism: 

Man plays 'Beyond Belief' by Elvis Costello & the Attractions on a jukebox in a bar in 1984. This song was first released as a B-side 7 inch to 'Green Shirt' in 1985. While the song was available on 12" vinyl in 1982 on the Imperial Bedroom LP, it was not available on CD until 1986, so even in the highly unlikely event that the small town in which the bar is situated had an early CD jukebox, it could neither have been a CD or a 7 inch single.

Joker: Folie à Deux. 2024, Starring 


  • Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck / Joker, a mentally ill nihilistic criminal with a clown-inspired persona, formerly an impoverished party clown and aspiring stand-up comedian. Director Todd Phillips said that while the film would venture further into Arthur's psyche, he would not become the "Clown Prince of Crime", as his Joker persona is an unwilling symbol to people who give him the love he always wanted.[11]
  • Lady Gaga as Harleen "Lee" Quinzel, a patient at Arkham State Hospital who becomes obsessed with Arthur and forms a deadly romantic relationship with him.[15][16] Describing Lee, Phillips noted how this version of the character is manipulative, amoral and "more grounded", with the film deliberately ignoring much of the character's classic mannerisms and style to fit into the world created in Joker (2019).[17] Gaga felt Lee to be a "study of contradictions", as her love and obsession for Arthur is also admiration and disgust, being both truthful and dishonest, really dangerous yet completely peaceful, deeming Lee a "very nonlinear person" like everyone involved in storytelling and thinking she was the "more real" the "more she could be a contradiction".[18]
  • Brendan Gleeson as Jackie Sullivan, an abusive guard at Arkham State Hospital.[19]
  • Catherine Keener as Maryanne Stewart, Arthur's lawyer.[20]
  • Zazie Beetz as Sophie Dumond, a single mother and Arthur's former neighbor, whom Arthur imagined being in a romantic relationship with.[21]
  • Steve Coogan as Paddy Meyers, a popular TV personality who interviews Arthur in Arkham.[20]
  • Harry Lawtey as Harvey Dent, the newly elected assistant district attorney who plans to bring Arthur to justice for his crimes.[22][23] Lawtey avoided watching previous screen portrayals of Harvey Dent and instead developed his own backstory for the character, with Phillips instilling in him the idea that, in the dawn of televised trials, Dent is cynically willing to put Arthur on trial for his own gain.[24] Phillips confirmed that one of the film's shots meant to signal the character's eventual descent into his Two-Face persona from the source material, affirming that he and his crew tried to come up with a realistic answer as to why certain things happen.[25]
  • Leigh Gill as Gary Puddles, Arthur's former clown co-worker whose life he spared.[26]
  • Ken Leung as Dr. Victor Liu, a psychologist who gives his testimony diagnosing Arthur at the trial.[27]
  • Jacob Lofland as Ricky Meline, an inmate at Arkham who admires Arthur.[28]
  • Bill Smitrovich as Judge Herman Rothwax, a judge who presides over Arthur's trial.[29]
  • Sharon Washington as Debra Kane, Arthur's former social worker.[30]

Additionally, Connor Storrie appears as a young Arkham inmate who spies on Arthur throughout the film before murdering him and is implied to become the next Joker, though Phillips did not confirm if this character is the Joker who becomes Batman's enemy.[31][32] Tim Dillon appears as an Arkham Asylum guard who asks Arthur to sign his book, Marc Maron's likeness as Gene Ufland is used for the book and archive footage of both Robert De Niro as Murray Franklin and Frances Conroy as Penny Fleck is used.
