TL;DR

Comedian Tim Dillon criticized "Joker: Folie à Deux" as "the worst film ever made" during an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience," citing its lack of plot and predicting it would bomb at the box office. Despite its poor reception and earnings of $58 million domestically, Quentin Tarantino praised Joaquin Phoenix's performance, suggesting the film's subversion of expectations might be its strength. Dillon speculated the sequel was a $200 million "practical joke" against fans of the original.
