Physical media just got way more TWISTED!! That's right, you clowns! Soon you can bring Joker the Harlequin into your home via (purple!!!!!) VHS and Blu-ray/DVD (with tons of special feats and a zine that tells the whole story of how we made it)!!

You can rent The People’s Joker here if you live in the UK, and you absolutely should because it’s one of the best films I’ve seen in the last few years, hands down

I love @beyondfest.bsky.social for showing me new movies I can't see anywhere else (like Every Heavy Thing) AND letting me hear about the creative process behind them. ❤️ #beyondfest

Director Mickey Reece and several of the cast and crew from Every Heavy Thing (including Vera Drew and James Urbaniak) on stage at the Los Feliz 3 tonight.

A ★★★★★ review of CAMP (2025)

Holy fuckin smokes. To call Avalon Fast’s newest film “dreamy” would be an understatement. This movie feels like a smear of time and space in a way that so few movies do. And for a film this seeped in...

i think one of my favorite things about @veradrew22.bsky.social's The People's Joker is that while at furst it just feels like a totally unrelated story with a Batman/Gotham City paintjob, all of the existing characters and their dynamics are pulling on themes present in Batman media.

The People's Joker - the trans, queer Joker comedy DC Comics/Warner Bros would rather you didn't see - is available to rent in the UK via this link. There's also a 50 min conversation between Vera Drew and Grant Morrison!!!

I saw it in Edinburgh some months back, and it was MAGIC.

Treat yourself:

Tonight’s film: The People’s Joker starring Vera Drew. Second time seeing it, still awesome. Added bonus: it has possibly the longest and most unhinged Blu-Ray menu ever.
