- Says Hollywood has turned its back on innovative filmmaking while Netflix is pushing the medium forward. Studios don't want anything that will not give them 1 billion in return, leaving middle-budget movies behind
- Joker wouldn't have been made if not for The Dark Knight's success
- Mentions the comparison of Joaquin's Joker with Travis Bickle and Rupert Pupkin (Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy), and how the movie's idea is to "trap him in a betrayal of the mentally ill, and trot it out for a billion dollars"
