Joker - Eh, was ok. Couldn't buy the transition to mastermind villain. The character transitions in general felt kinda forced moments to string the plot along towards the end goal. Good acting and entertaining, but otherwise don't get why this stuck out or did so well financially. I honestly would find a movie with this Joker fighting a Batman to be a more interesting concept just because I don't see how this Joker would ever be a mastermind supervillian able to fight batman from what was shown in this one, so it'd be interesting to see how they'd try to pull it off.
The Irishman - Eh was ok. Feels like a lot of retreading Goodfellas/Casino. Didn't feel like it brought anything really new or had a reason to be as long as it was. A lot of the story seems kinda meandering until Hoffa comes into the picture and it essentially becomes a Hoffa movie. Some of it's pretty weirdly unstylishly directed for Scorsese, like the signs on how random characters at a table would die years later. It's fine and the acting was pretty good from the key three, but probably one of my least favorite Scorsese films as a generally big Scorsese fan.
