Joker is the movie that made me realize I'd lost my stomach - it was SO upsetting to me, especially seeing it as a new mom. But Joker is also responsible for one of the single best moments of my life, the story of which you will appreciate:
Miles happened to visit my house shortly after the Joker trailer came out. Being Miles, he was PUMPED on it and started a conversation about it. He said something along the lines of, "And Joaquin Phoenix's acting looks CRAZY!" But he didn't actually say "Joaquin." He said "Joe-quin." Joe-quin Phoenix. It took a minute to register and then I said, "Miles, you do know his name is 'Joaquin,' right?" He did not. He had no idea that was how you pronounced it, and he had been talking to EVERYONE in his social circle about this movie, and no one corrected him before. It is an entirely innocent, silly mix-up, but it is SO funny to me. To this day, Joe-quin will just randomly pop in my head and it brings me so much joy. Joe-quin!
