What makes Talk Tuah truly remarkable is Hailey Welch's effortless command of the conversation. Her sharp wit, combined with an endearing ability to play the straight-laced commentator while navigating the absurd, creates a delicate balance between sophistication and playfulness. Welch manages to imbue every episode with a sense of intellectual curiosity, all while never losing sight of the lighthearted premise at its center.

In essence, Talk Tuah is a brilliant satire of modern podcasting culture, pushing the boundaries of how far one can stretch a single joke without it fraying at the seams. But perhaps the genius of Welch's creation is that she never lets it fray-instead, it grows richer and more intricate, revealing layers that few would expect from a concept rooted in wordplay. Each episode feels like an exploration of how humor can both unite and provoke deeper reflection, all within a framework that feels inviting and effortlessly enjoyable.

For those seeking a podcast that balances intellectualism with humor, that pokes fun at the human need for repetitive jokes while offering a space for deeper thought, Talk Tuah is a must-listen. Hailey Welch has created something more than a podcast; it's a commentary on the cultural role of humor itself.

Genuinely shocked about how awful this movie is. There is good production value, with great cinematography that makes the film pop, especially during some of the musical scenes, and Phoenix, along with Gaga, did good with the poor material that they had.

However, the whole movie is a dull, tedious slog that hates it's own existence that fails in almost every way possible. It fails as a musical, with almost all of the musical numbers feeling dull and lifeless, and barely do anything to move the story forward, having no flow with the rest of the movie. It fails as a courtroom drama, as it fails to provide interesting perspectives on the dilemma the film focuses on, resulting in a shallow court case that's overly drawn.

It fails as a sequel, spending so much of the runtime to tearing down the first movie that it fails to do anything else meaningful and new. And worst of all, it simply fails as a movie by having cynicism towards it's own existence and it's audience, resulting in an overly long whimper of a movie.
