WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Oct 16, 2019

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Joker is already the most successful October movie release of

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>all time. How many Joker movies are we going to

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>have to have here? Anyway? Not everybody's happy about the

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>successive Joker film critics. Rebecca Ritzl says that she has

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>no intention of seeing it. She says the movie has

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>crushed the souls of many women who write about film.

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Almost all female film critics have panned the movie. Miss

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Ritzell says female critics are upset that so many Americans

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>are going to see Joker. One calls it the most

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>depressing film she's ever seen. She says it's humorless, it

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>lacks empathy. Another says the movie is marketed to the

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>sort of misunderstood adolescents who could potentially become mass shooters.

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Yet the movie is getting great reviews overall. That's because

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 1>male movie critics, who outnumber female film critics by a

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>two to one ratio, like it for the most part. Now,

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>these guy critics, they don't think the movie is sympathetic

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to the bad guy, and they don't leave it promotes

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>violence or anything of the sort. To them, Joker is

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.839
<v Speaker 1>a comic book villain. Their souls are not crushed after

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>seeing the movie, and they're not upset that so many

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Americans are going to see it. The moral of the

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>story is that in many ways, men and women are different.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>They might even be born that way. And how many

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of you are fed up with comic books being turned

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>into movies for crying it? Can we grow up
