New video copyright-blocked but available for patrons
🕑 Added 2023-08-01 08:19:03 +0000 UTCYouTube's awesome copyright system strikes again as usual. The new video has been blocked in all territories because of the Joker footage. I'm currently disputing the claim, and until I get a response, my wonderful patrons can at least access the video on our Google Drive:

I hope you'll enjoy it. My current title for the video is "A Class Analysis of Joker and The Dark Knight" but let me know if you have some better and more attention-grabbing suggestions after watching the video.
Thank you!

I gotta say your reading of my username in a different audio quality made me feel more like the bourgeois antibody Batman and less like the organics symbolised symptomatic atombody Joker (baby)

That's true, I would also list Knives Out as part of the nominations (although admittedly its treatment of class is pretty liberal). Mainstream media with overt class commentary has become even more common since then, with movies like The Menu and TV shows like White Lotus. It seems to speak to a growing popular awareness of the problems of class disparity, although, as I touch on in this video, a lot of these media end up framing class in a moralizing way

Really good video :) I didn't watch the Joker, but I can't help but notice that for the Oscars of that year, there were (at least) three movies which comment on class inequalities: Joker, Parasite, and Les Misérables
