Comedian Tim Dillon, a frequent guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast, held nothing back on his own show today (October 16), tearing apart the highly anticipated sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, in which he played a security guard in Arkham Asylum.
Aside from labeling the movie a “disaster,” the comedian spent most of the segment trashing its star, Lady Gaga, claiming that she “has no business being on a movie screen.”
Dillon expressed disbelief about the film’s quality: “You rarely know how bad something’s going to be,” he said, recalling conversations with fellow cast members during production. “Everybody knew it was going to fail.”
Afterward, the comedian launched into a harsh critique of Gaga’s acting ability and presence, stating categorically that the musician has become “irrelevant” in Hollywood and dismissing her success in 2018’s A Star is Born.

While Dillon admitted that Joaquin Phoenix, whom he called “one of the greatest actors of our time,” gave his all, he spared no pleasantries regarding the pop star.
“Lady Gaga is simply not a good actress; she has no business being on screen,” he declared before sharing his frustrations with the movie with his audience.
Dillon opened the segment by discussing his time on set, remarking that, despite some scenes having potential, once Gaga and Joaquin began recording their musical numbers, he and his fellow actors knew they were in trouble.

“We don’t get it,” he recalled hearing from one of the movie’s extras before explaining how he struggled to understand the film’s direction, especially when Phoenix was “singing or doing jazz hands.”
While the comedian expressed thanks for the opportunity to have been a part of the movie, he did so in his trademark sarcastic and crass tone. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to spend three months sitting in a trailer in makeup while my face broke out,” he added. “I’m now a small part of probably the worst film ever made.”

In perhaps the harshest part of his critique, Dillon described watching the film in theaters as an “unbearable” experience.
“I saw it in Laguna Beach, and people were walking out of the theater confused, befuddled, and angry,” he said. “It was so bad I had to sneak out like Diddy!”
Dillon also claimed to have repeatedly suggested removing Gaga from the film. “I had a lot of suggestions on that set, and nobody listened to me because I was an unimportant nobody,” he recalled.
According to him, the production should’ve gotten rid of Gaga entirely. I said immediately, ‘Fire Lady Gaga! Fire her, fire her right now! You’re paying her a lot of money, and what I’m seeing ain’t working. Get her out of here!’”
The comedian recalled a conversation he and his colleagues shared while eating on the set’s pasta truck. According to him, everyone agreed that the pop star was detrimental to the production.

The comedian went on to twist the knife further, mocking one of Gaga’s lines in the film, parodying her performance by singing, “‘ I’m the Joker, there’s always a Joker in the pack,” before exclaiming in disbelief, “What the f— is going on?”

Dillon bookended his rant by expressing deep dissatisfaction with the entire project, which he believed resulted from the director’s arrogance and hubris. He confessed to feeling “scammed” by his agents, who recommended participating in the film as a “great step in his career.”
“I cannot show this to anyone, ever. If I said I was in a movie and showed this to someone years from now, they would go, ‘Are you pranking me?’” he joked.
Staying true to his self-deprecating humor, Dillon joked about the production’s disastrous nature, declaring himself “proud of being a part of the death of a popular franchise.”
