This week on The Treatment, Elvis sits down with director and actor Vera Drew, whose film “The People’s Joker” is a queer reimagining of Todd Philips’ “The Joker.” Next, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, whose career of blockbusters in film and television spans five decades, joins to discuss his latest megahit “Top Gun: Maverick.” And for The Treat, “Love and Rockets” co-creators Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez talk about two films whose meanings continue to evolve for them.
