IN MY DEFENSE, I do not think it’s that far-fetched to believe that Stefani might wake up one morning and feel a little Harlequin-y. And yes, as I typed “Harlequin-y” just now, I actually got the word play behind the name “Harley Quinn.” I also just looked something up about Joker 2: More Jokes! and discovered that it is meant to be a musical. I’m sure many of you know this and are muttering, “YES, HELLO,” to your phones now but I chose not to take on any more Joker related information at some point in 2021. This is also why, for one long weird moment last year, I thought Todd Phillips directed Tar. (It’s Todd Field. I have become that parent character in a sitcom who gets every pop culture reference mixed up, which will be great for my professional career.) ANYWAY, wow, let’s just say the fact that Joker 2: Can’t Joke Again is filming on location in New York is both great for the city’s coffers AND for my level of info about this movie. I’m not gonna lie: This is not the wackiest thing she’s ever worn IRL.
