Listener comments!
	7:01pm ultradamno: Male clown rage.
	7:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: If only someone had the power bestow the Medal of Freedom on the Joker.
	7:09pm northguineahills: I've met Joaquin Phoenix in person at a party, but never saw Joker....
	7:10pm edelkakao cha cha: I want to get the soundtrack as anything I have heard from Hildur Guðnadóttir is never bad, as for the movie itself, hmmm, Happy Days reruns sounds more like the stuff for me.
	7:14pm dale: ceasar romero is the only joker for me.
	7:14pm YETI BOB: I just finished reading an interview with Hildur Guðnadóttir in the Wire. I was curious to hear the Joker soundtrack, but I figured I'd never get a chance (I'm not interested in the film). Then I flip on WFMU and it's playing => Thanks Devon!
	7:15pm mariano: Wasn't there another composer on Sicario as well, an Icelandic guy? Johanssen, I think. Died not long ago, unfortunately.
	7:16pm spodiodi: also uninterested in the film, but liked the music
	7:16pm northguineahills: aye, mariano
	7:17pm northguineahills: I'm on the October 2017 issue of the Wire, I ways to go to catch up....
	7:18pm ultradamno: first solo woman ever to take home the trophy in the category www.refinery29.com...
	7:25pm YETI BOB: @mariano: the CD that came with the August 2019 issue is fantastic
	7:29pm dale: i saw the one where mark hammell went 'poof' - is that the last one?
	7:37pm ultradamno: Now that Disney has film rights to Hamilton, it shouldn't be too long until there's one of these shows with a cue about a duel or something.
	7:38pm edelkakao cha cha: I am a member of an elitist club; people born in the 70s who HATE Star Wars.
	7:40pm ultradamno: I liked the first one OK when I saw it as a kid, but I've never even seen any of the others. I'm just sick of never getting through a day without hearing about it.
	7:44pm spodiodi: little women could have used some robots
	7:45pm edelkakao cha cha: I saw the special edition of the first one as a 21 year old; the two guys in my company had probably seen the original before they could even read the finnish subtitles, they:over the moon, me:meh.
	7:48pm mariano: I was 8 when the first one came out, so I was in the target audience. I was absolutely besotted with Star Wars for a few years, had most of the toys, but had pretty much forgotten about it a year or so after Empire Strikes Back.
	7:49pm spodiodi: like IG-88 in Mandalorian! hubba-hubba!
	7:49pm YETI BOB: I grew up reading sci-fi and even at age 12 I kind of felt like Star Wars was kinda cheezy. I remember writing something for the school paper where I said "Close Encounters" was a better sci-fi movie. It was controversial!
	7:49pm spodiodi: phones are popular
	7:50pm spodiodi: oh and vaping
	7:50pm YETI BOB: are we voting? if we are, I think the Joker soundtrack is the winner so far
	7:50pm spodiodi: i think that's it
	7:50pm mariano: I really liked Rogue One, but I'm not so up on the mythos and nuances that I could argue with a diehard fan over whether or not it was good in terms of the whole canon. I just thought it was a well-done movie.
	7:51pm spodiodi: i thought hoverboards were out. electric kick scooters are in
	7:52pm ultradamno: I think I discovered Alien before the Empire came out, that may have thrown some of the interest off too.
	7:53pm Chud: I thought the way 1917 was shot was immersive enough, but I found the cuts pretty apparent.
	7:53pm Chud: Kind of jarring, like, why is the camera doing that?
	7:54pm YETI BOB: @ultradamno: yeah, Alien - there's some REAL sci-fi!
	7:55pm GListener MW: Loving this Newman!!! I’ve got to see this flick asap
	7:55pm Chud: @JakeGould Heh, that sounds about right
	7:55pm dale: this is gorgeous.
	7:55pm YETI BOB: ok now i have to reconsider my vote
	8:00pm dale: i'd like to see a movie about 1917 mad with music from 1917. maybe some billy murray or ada jones.
	8:06pm YETI BOB: @JakeGould: you forgot "Urgh! A Music War"
