Vera Drew, Jerry Bruckheimer and the two very different movies that dazzled the Hernandez brothers

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.

The Treatment is a compelling listen to the vital conversations about the catalysts of creative inspiration. Following some of the most interesting, influential, and crossover creators in the world of entertainment, fashion, sports, and the arts, we hear from tastemakers who are the very fabric that forms popular culture.
