THE MADNESS: GOES BACK TO SCHOOL- WEEK 3

This is the third week of our crazy annual contest. My rating system is a four 6 system.

BILL CAMP

Bill is not a wild card this week but the mini-series I'm watching helps to get him a category.

Joker (2019, 122 minutes): Bill stars in this psychological thriller as Detective Garrity in this origin story of the Joker. I believe this is dark enough to qualify.
