Show Notes
Batman villains? Obviously, we have to talk about The Joker. First up is Heath Ledger’s phenomenal performance. We discuss psychopathy and this Joker’s ability to be a master manipulator. We explore the psychology behind why people respond to the Joker the way they do, including when things don’t go the Joker’s way when he pits two ferryboats against each other.
