'Joker' Continues Its Pursuit for $1 Billion, 'Dolemite' Leads the Weekend, and 'The Current War' FINALLY Makes It to Theaters

'Joker' continues to be a behemoth as it gets closer to $900 million while easily outpacing 'Deadpool' as the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. But can it get to the $1 billion mark? We weigh the pros and cons for Todd Phillips' origin story.

But among the new releases of the week, Netflix's 'Dolemite Is My Name' is the clear winner as an opening salvo of sorts for the company's many Oscar campaigns. Eddie Murphy is back and caring in a movie again, and he might just ride that wave all the way into awards season.

Elsewhere, Brennan and Nick break down some of the latest indie releases, including the CRAZY story behind 'The Current War', a discussion of A24's 'The Lighthouse', 'Jojo Rabbit', and even Kanye's 'Jesus is King', because why not? Listen on this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!
